My wife and I visited the Ephesus ruins, Saint Mary’s House, and the Apostle John’s Basilica. Huge thanks to our professional local tour guide, Elif, who was fluent in English and very easy to understand. Together with our wonderful driver, we spent a beautiful morning exploring the very best of these ancient places and then enjoyed a delicious local lunch. We have such wonderful memories of our time in the port of Kusadasi. We highly recommend guide Elif and the Travelshow company!

Ozlem was a great tour guide. Her historical knowledge and passion for her home country was infectious and we learnt so much more than we expected. the scenery that we passed was beautiful! we spent the whole day out and was plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. her style of guiding suited everything we needed and lunch that was included was beautiful too! it was more than we expected. this guide is great for smaller groups, because there’s more chance for you to connect to the guide and learn more.

We booked our cruise excursion with Viator. Our booking was made simple and the communication and the beginning was fantastic from the beginning. On the day of our tour, our guide met us on time and was easy to find. Our guide was Elif and our driver was Erol, both were exceptional! Elif then taylored our tour to meet our needs and desires, and greatly exceeded our expectations on knowledge, quality, kindness, and absence of pressure. I could not have been more pleased with our vehicle, driver, and especially our guide. Elif is incredibly knowledgeable, she even lectures at the university and has trained young tour guides. One of the best tours and tour guide in our many years of travel! 5 stars was not enough, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
