Review of the private 3-hour Ephesus and Terrace Houses tour from Kusadasi, with cruise pickup, expert guides, lunch, costs, access, and tips.
“Guide Senem Kaner was knowledgeable, well-spoken, and personable. Her English is clear and fluent. She provided an excellent tour. Communication before the tour was timely and she was easy to locate at the port since she held up a sign with our names. Her tour provided historical context of the city and terrace houses. The included lunch in the countryside was delicious and the carpet demonstration was informative rather than sales oriented which we appreciated. It was a delightful way to spend the day.
