This quaint village offers an amazing time to explore, heading along the narrow streets you will find local women who hand make items and produce, and sell them to those who wish to buy village made items from handicrafts to natural olive oil.

Far Out Turkey Fabulous and exceeded our expectations!
We booked our tour directly with Far Out Turkey. We had a private guide Ahu and driver that we spent two fabulous days with. Day one was Ephesus, House of Virgin Mary and Sirince. Day two was Pamukkale and then driven to our next destination of Antalya. We booked with Berkay who was amazing! He guided us, checked in with us and made sure we had everything we needed. The guide Ahu was knowledgeable and attentive to our questions and needs. The driver Oar (spelling?) was safe and the car was luxury, comfortable and he provided water and candy. This experience was better than our expectations! Thank you. Patti P and David R
Response from the operator: Dear Patti and David, Reading your kind words truly made my day! ❤️ It was such a pleasure to personally assist you with your travel arrangements and to know that everything went smoothly from start to finish. I’m so happy you enjoyed discovering Ephesus, the House of Virgin Mary, Sirince, and Pamukkale with our wonderful guide Ahu and our friendly driver Oğuz (you were close with “Oar” 😊). Your feedback about the comfort, attention to detail, and care truly means a lot to us. Knowing that the experience went beyond your expectations is the best reward for our entire Farout Turkey family. Thank you again for your trust and warmth — it was a joy staying in touch with you throughout your journey. I’ll be delighted to welcome you back anytime for new adventures across Turkey! With warm regards, Berkay Akarsu & The Farout Turkey Team 🇹🇷💙

Ephesus tour and lunch from Kusadasi
There is a fair amount of walking over uneven stones but Ephesus is wonderful. We decided not to go to Sirince village as we had very young (1 and 3 years old) children with us. Our guide (who was very good) instead arranged a wonderful lunch for our family in a lovely outdoor setting with delicious food. We all loved that! we did see a carpet making demonstration but it was actually interesting.

Great Asian Side Istanbul Private Tour with Great Guide
We had a terrific private car tour of the Istanbul Asia side led by a wonderful, knowledgeable, smart and beautiful woman, Husniye. This was set up through Abdurrahim BOZ at Farout tours. We had had a great experience booking and a short Gullet book cruise through Farout in the Antalya area, so I asked our cruise sales person to set me up with someone who would reliably set up an Asian side tour. I had read to watch out for guides who weren’t very good and who didn’t have good English. Everything was arranged and done well and efficiently, door to door from our hotel. Mercedes Sprinter with very good and friendly driver. It was a wonderful day. Well worth the time and money. Don’t miss seeing the Asia side. Less crowded and not as touristy.
Response from the operator: Dear John, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re truly thrilled to hear that your private tour of Istanbul’s Asian side exceeded expectations and became such a memorable part of your journey. We’re especially glad that Husniye made such a strong impression—your kind words about her warmth, knowledge, and professionalism mean a great deal. She is indeed one of our most experienced and passionate guides, and we’re so happy that her enthusiasm and insight helped you discover a different, more authentic side of Istanbul. Your trust in Abdurrahim Boz and the Farout Turkey team, especially after your positive experience on the gulet cruise in Antalya, means the world to us. We know how important it is to feel confident that you’re being looked after by a team that truly cares, and we’re so pleased that every aspect of the planning and logistics—from communication to the Mercedes Sprinter and friendly driver—worked seamlessly for you. You touched on something very important—exploring the Asian side of Istanbul is an opportunity that many travelers miss. It’s quieter, more local, and full of charm, and we’re delighted that you took the time to see this side of the city with us. It’s rewarding to know you found it both worthwhile and refreshing. Thank you once again for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We would love to welcome you again for more unforgettable experiences across Türkiye. Until then, we wish you all the best in your future travels! Warm regards, The Farout Turkey Team

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour for Cruise Guests: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour for Cruise Guests cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour for Cruise Guests take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour for Cruise Guests worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kusadasi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour for Cruise Guests?
+
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 Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour for Cruise Guests suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour for Cruise Guests?
+
Around 1 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour for Cruise Guests 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 FOR CRUISERS: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour with ENTRY TICKET+LUNCH, Ephesus Temple of Artemis and House of Mary Private Half Day Tour, Ephesus and Temple of Artemis Private Tour from Kusadasi Port. 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.
