The best crew of the Apasas Travel
My review to the Agency: We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the agency Apasas that provided us with an excellent guide and driver for our journey from the Antalya region to Istanbul, during 6 days. Our guide, Mr. Yilmaz Tuncer proved to be an exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and considerate individual. His command of history is remarkable, and he conveyed his insights with great clarity and passion. As a historian and architect myself, I can confidently affirm that all the information he shared during our visits to the five historical sites was entirely accurate and deeply informative. He is truly an outstanding guide, and I recommend him without reservation. He is fully proficient in English. Our driver, Mr. Ali Etdalli , was equally exceptional — a kind, thoughtful, and caring person who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety throughout the journey. His warm personality and helpfulness made us feel completely at home. We sincerely thank the agency for assigning Mr. Ali Erdalli to accompany us. Their professionalism and kindness made this trip unforgettable. Thank you for having such an incredible people working for you.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi or Selcuk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Small Group Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi or Selcuk cost?
+
Prices start at $107 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 Small Group Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi or Selcuk take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Small Group Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi or Selcuk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 54 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 Small Group Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi or Selcuk?
+
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 Small Group Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi or Selcuk suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi or Selcuk?
+
Around 19 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi or Selcuk 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.
