- Ancient City of Ephesus - When we reach in Ephesus we start to explore this well-preserved ancient City. It was a City in Ancient Greece on the Coast of Ionia, 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) Southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of the former Arzawan capital by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era, it was one of twelve Cities that were members of the Ionian League. The city came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC.

Being in Turkey for my birthday -
It was an all-day adventure starting with the city of Ephesus, an ancient city with lots of history, many ruins that have been discovered, quite a few cats, and a handful of resident dogs. A fascinating place. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Also patient and kind.
Then we went for lunch -- not a great one for a vegetarian, but okay for meat eaters. A quick course in how to make handmade rugs followed (fascinating), with a pitch to buy one. Don't ever take the first price offered. Or the second.
Then came the delight of the day -- the Turkish bath with an optional massage. I never thought I would be in Turkey for my birthday, much less having a Turkish bath. The women helping us were very nice and very good at what they do.
We really appreciated the patience and knowledge of our guide and the driver. I would recommend this tour.

We had a great time in... - We had a great time in Kusadasi. Our guide, Begum, was amazing! If you’re looking for an stress-free day of a guided tour of Ephesus and a Turkish bath, this is for you. You’ll get picked up right at the dock of the cruise ship and dropped back off. The operators are very aware of cruise schedules and will make sure you won’t miss your all aboard.

Unexpected insights and quality - This was a surprisingly excellent experience. Surprising, because we did not know what to expect from Ephesus or from a Turkish bath and massage in a hammam. But our guide Deniz was excellent: kind, funny and knowledgeable. On the tour. Prepare to be surprised at the quality and complexity of the ruins. Everyone rushes to the library because it’s iconic. But Deniz helped us understand the nuances of a multicultural society. On the bath: if you’re American, set your Massage Envy expectations aside and go with it. You will be (mostly) nude, you will get wet, you will be exfoliated with salt and bathed in olive oil. And you will like it! One of our best tours after 25+ years of global travel.

Fabulous tour - We had an excellent tour of Ephesus. Our guide, Isa, told us the information in an interesting way. He was very conscientious about our safety and finding shade everyplace it was available. The Turkish bath was an experience not to be missed. Lunch outside was delightful. It was a GREAT day!!

Great Experience!!!! - Let me tell you after this experience, I definitely want to come back to Turkey. My guide Ahmet (Alex) and our driver was wonderful. My daughter and I felt very safe with them and our tour was private. Alex gave us the best tour in Ephesus and then took us a wonderful Turkish bath and I am hooked, they had us back to the boat on time.

Ephesus. Our guide was very informative and maneuvered us around the crowds. Stopped at the rug co-op for lunch, followed by a Turkish bath, what a unique experience!

Day with Selcuk - We did this tour for our port stop in Kusadasi and it was the perfect day. We had Selcuk as our guide and he was AMAZING. He guided us through Ephesus around the giant groups. We got so much interesting information, took our pictures together, and ensured the entire day went perfectly. Highly recommend Selcuk and that you request him!!

Turkish highlights - Selcuk was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable of Ephesus. We were picked up from the port and it was very easy to know where to go. We then went to the ruins and Selcuk told us all about the various sites. We had a nice lunch and went and saw the carpet weaving. Lastly we stopped by and did the Turkish bath. Great experience and great value!

Professional Tour Done Well - A fabulous day spent with Deniz exploring Ephesus. He was engaging, considerate and highly knowledgeable and made the tour interesting and pleasurable.
A couple of stops to view carpets and try a traditional Turkish lunch - both enjoyable, and then an amazing time experiencing an authentic Hamam.
