Great experience
We had a great time, the tour included lots of interesting places to see, the guide Mehmet was great, provided us with many information, it was like a live lesson of history. Also, he has great sense of humor. The food was great, the driver was great, the only thing that was so and so was the visit to the leather shop, it was an interesting experience but I must admit I would have skip it. I highly recommend it. We paid 100 eur/person.

Mehmed and Hakkan were wonderfull. Pick up was punctual and easy. The tour was really informative and and Mehmed is a really funny and entertaining guy. He explained everything nicely, not a moment of boredom. He is very passionate and very gentle. It was soo much better than we expected. The food was good, lunch was in a buffet restaurant, local food. So worth it 👍🏽 regards from switzerland :)

Fantastic Ephesus tour.
We had a wonderful experience on the Ephesus Small Group Tour from Kusadasi/Selcuk. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history of Ephesus really interesting and easy to understand. The tour was well paced, with plenty of time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the incredible ancient ruins. The pickup and meeting arrangements were also smooth and convenient. Overall, it was an excellent experience and very good value for money. We would definitely recommend the tour with Cem( sorry if I must pronounce your name)

Ephesus Small Group Tour From Kusadasi / Selcuk Hotels & PORT: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Ephesus Small Group Tour From Kusadasi / Selcuk Hotels & PORT cost?
+
Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kusadasi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ephesus Small Group Tour From Kusadasi / Selcuk Hotels & PORT take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kusadasi is not rushed.
Is Ephesus Small Group Tour From Kusadasi / Selcuk Hotels & PORT worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 323 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kusadasi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ephesus Small Group Tour From Kusadasi / Selcuk Hotels & PORT?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ephesus Small Group Tour From Kusadasi / Selcuk Hotels & PORT suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ephesus Small Group Tour From Kusadasi / Selcuk Hotels & PORT?
+
Around 113 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kusadasi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kusadasi and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ephesus Small Group Tour From Kusadasi / Selcuk Hotels & PORT start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kusadasi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kusadasi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kusadasi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR FOR CRUISERS: On-time Return and Skip-Line, PRIVATE TOUR FOR CRUISERS: Mary's House (Meryemana) and Ephesus, FOR CRUISERS: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour with Entry Fees & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kusadasi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kusadasi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
