Great guide but mandatory carpet weaving stop is part of included lunch
Arda was a great guide. He was flexible, i.e. changing our itinerary at the last minute at our request to go to Virgin Mary's house since that was important to several individuals in our group. Ephesus was wonderful and Arda shared a great deal of information. That stop was impressive to everyone in our group. The only reason I gave this four stars is because the company seems to have a different mission. I agreed to miss Sirince for the group to see Mary's house but I specifically asked if we would be going to a rug factory. I've been before and didn't want this experience again. Several others in our group had already experienced this too. Apparently that is where our group of six would be served the included lunch and then required to listen to a rug spiel. I would have preferred to visit Sirince in that 1.5 wasted hours which would have been possible in my calculations (that I did after the tour). The distance from Ephesus to Sirince was similar to the distance between Ephesus and the rug weaving factory. We would have been okay skipping the included lunch but that option was not presented. The rugs are beautiful and I understand why TravelShow wants to show this Turkey custom off to visitors but I think that info should be included in the description and be graciously accepted if the guests decline if/when they don't want to be held captive for a lengthy period of time. (Reminded me of a timeshare sale.) And although we were told there would be no pressure, several in our group felt pressured. Arda really is a superstar but I felt our time could be better spent seeing Sirince--a hill village in Turkey than at a carpet weaving factory. If that would've happened my rating would be 5 stars. I wish that Sirince had been offered over rug-making demonstration. We picked Sirince for a reason. We did not pick a carpet factory for part of our itinerary, so beware of this.
Response from the operator: Thank you, we try our best for you.

Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour from Kusadasi Port/Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour from Kusadasi Port/Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 from Kusadasi Port/Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 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 from Kusadasi Port/Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 208 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 Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour from Kusadasi Port/Lunch?
+
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 from Kusadasi Port/Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 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 from Kusadasi Port/Lunch?
+
Around 73 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Ephesus and Sirince Village Tour from Kusadasi Port/Lunch 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 Fees & Lunch, Ephesus Temple of Artemis and House of Mary Private Half Day Tour, Best of Ephesus: Private & Group Skip-the-Line Tour for Cruisers. 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.
