Exploring Kusadasi with the Best Guide Ever!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day in Kusadasi with our amazing guide, Gufte! From the moment we met her, she felt like part of the family. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive—adjusting our schedule on the fly to avoid lines and make the most of our time ⏱️. Her insights brought the history of Ephesus and the surrounding sites to life in such a meaningful way 🏛️✨. Our minivan driver was also excellent—professional, punctual, and courteous throughout the day 🚐👍. Thank you both for an unforgettable experience! Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonder Ephesus with charming informative guide - Gufta was our private guide for the day in Ephesus. She provided comprehensive commentary on Turkish, Biblical and ancient history. She chose beautiful and pastoral setting for a delicious lunch and introduction to some of the artistic crafts of Turkey, including rug weaving and jewelry. Our ride was a spacious new luxury van. If you price a foursome on a cruise tour, you will find a private tour economical and much more comfortable. This tour and Gufta have our highest recommendation.

Private tour of Kusadasi and and Ephesus - Excellent tour for not only learning about the sites and history of Turkey, but also about the people, arts and culture as well. Güfte was very accommodating and informative on our tour. Sharing lunch with her gave us a nice break to chat about families and enjoy some good food at the textile school where carpets are woven (and silk extracted from silkworm cocoons and dyed as well). She is both knowledgeable and pleasant to share the day with. I highly recommend the tour to get a small glimpse into the history and culture of Turkey. Also, thanks to our driver who navigated streets well and worked with Güfte to coordinate the order of our itinerary to avoid large crowds.

Ephesus Tour - We booked our private tour with Puerto Travel. Our tour guide Gufte was excellent. Her decision to alter the tour itinerary saved us hours waiting in line to see where the Virgin Mary lived in her final days. Gufte's knowledge of the tour stops was excellent. She really added to our experience and I would not hesitate to recommend her and Puerto Travel.

For those who love ancient history - I like ancient history so I liked seeing the cities of Ephesus, Prime, and Miletus. Our guide, Güfte, helped paint the picture of the cities in ancient times and give us a better understanding. Our driver, Ogün, was always punctual and drive very safely.
