Kusadasi Port Private Ephesus Tour

Posted By : Cathy_g
This was a wonderful tour! Ancient Ephesus was so much more then expected. Yesmin was very knowledgeable and gave us so much history and fun facts. We stopped at a coop that makes handmade rugs very informative. They did try to sell their products but I didn’t feel pressured to purchase. They showed hospitality with tea and coffee and the bathrooms were very clean. The final stop we asked for was a Turkish delight shop were they gave samples and lots of information on what the products are and what makes them special for turkey. Wonderful experience would highly recommend!

I can’t say enough great things about Megale Travel and the two-week trip they organized for us! I was initially anxious about planning a trip for a large group, especially because it was many family members’ first trip abroad. The company was recommended by a close friend and I’m so happy with my decision to reach out to them. They took care of everything.

Yesim was incredibly patient as we changed dates, locations we wanted to visit, and number of family members that would eventually go on the trip. Her communication was always quick and friendly from beginning to end. She put together an itinerary that allowed us to see as much of Turkey as possible while also carving out time for us to rest in between cities and tours. She arranged tours in Spanish which was a must for our group and guides were always on time, knowledgeable and friendly.

Our family was beyond satisfied with the trip and were amazed with how much it included for the price we paid. I highly recommend the company to anyone planning a trip to Turkey!

Once again, two year after my visit to Turkiye, I want to start by thanking Yesim and her staff for making each trip unforgettable, Her professionalism surpasses all expectations, private tour, hotels, transportation, domestic flights, 14 days without any setback or delays, (which is rare to see that now-a-days ) going out of her way For us to attended a concert of singer Gulben Ergen that was not included in the itinerary, made this trip super special. She delivers everything she promises. The sense of confidence that Yesim and her staff provides MAKES THE TRIP EVEN MORE WORTHWHILE.

There were 8 of us senior folks in our trip and we couldn't sing enough praises of Yesim and her team. Yesim provided us with very comfortable airconditioned luxurious vans, and gave us good commentaries of the places we visited.
Yesim was also very accommodating whenever we wanted to make changes which made us very happy. Yesim arranged internal flights for us which sat very well with us as long distance travelling was not something we look forward to.
Yesim also made spontaneous stops at cotton fields and pomegranate farms which got us all so excited and squealing like little children!!!
She was always very polite, honest and cheerful. I would certainly recommend her services to anyone who would like to travel around Turkey.

This company is absolutely reliable . Yesim has been answering all of my queries and expectation. Our tour guide Ufuk was really knowledgeable with the place and was very patient with us. Seeing the 2 magnificent historical place was absolutely a great experience . Yesim was always in contact with me and provided me all the details I need . She definitely made it easy for us to find our tour guide and our tour guide made it sure that we will be able to come out of the busy port fast. I have no complains and I highly recommend this company as well as the tour. Thank you Yesim and thank you for giving us Ufuk!!

Yesim and her team were phenomenal. Her pre-trip communication was great, she picked us up on time, and she was very knowledgable. She tailored the tour to what we wanted to see, and allowed us to proceed at our own pace.

For the sites we saw, they would not have been as meaningful without Yesim's knowedge and insight.

We had one in our group with an injured knee, but was able to do the whole tour.

We would definitely tour with her, again!

You MUST book this tour! Private guide and driver is absolutely needed during cruises at port. Our guide Yesim was the best!

Yesim was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. She picked us up on time in a beautiful clean van and then gave us options of what to do. She never rushed us and was always so accommodating. I would definitely book this tour with her again!

I had an unbelievable time visiting the sites that Yesim visited with us it was like discovering a whole new world and going back in time.

She is extremely knowledgeable and is a great person. She also took time to let us know of other must visit places in Türkiye.

Yesim and her husband made us feel as we knew them for a very long time. They also where a tremendous helping me achieve some missionary goals, that was the main reason I visited the beautiful country.

Thank you

Our home is in the Philippines and we are recently visiting the US. But we left our heart in Turkiye and Yesim and her cohorts have a lot to do with it. From the planning stage til we said goodbye, she and her husband Farhat have been hands on in our Turkiye journey.
Istanbul as a stand alone we thought was enough to experience the culture. It was even made more enriching by our guide Omer who made our walking tour under the rain so unforgettable in a good way. His vast knowledge of it's nooks and crannies left us in awe the whole time, that we forgot being drenched and cold in the rain. He is well adept in speaking the English language so he made us so comfortable .
Our main purpose in going to Capadoccia is to ride the hot air balloon.They said the last time it snowed in March was five years ago. Of all the days that it could snow, it happened on the day that we arrived. God really has a way of putting his point across. So we savored our Hera Cave suite on the first day, walked through the four inch snow in our rubber shoes looking for a good place for dinner, and sipped very good hot Turkish lentil soup at the Terrace restaurant. Ferda, our guide im Capadoccia picked us up the next day to go to Goreme for the open air museum. The snow has relented a bit although walking on the icy road made our adventure more challenging. Looking at the vast unique natural showcase made us wonder how we are going to manage to go cover the whole place! But lo and behold! We made it to the top and captured the breathtaking sceneries. Ferda's stories, interesting insights, and brilliant pieces of information made trekking up the mountain so enjoyable. Not to mention made us all so hungry. We were then treated to a scrumptious original Turkish meal in a family ran kitchenette.
That day with Ferda was so memorable. She was not only tailored fit for guidance. We also got a peep of a first hand real Turkish life. It's like gallivanting with a good friend with her. Thanks Ferda, we'll never forget you.
Now, time to personally meet our main hosts who made this all happen, Yesim and Harfat. This couple made us feel so welcomed as soon as we landed at Kudakasi. The feeling is like we have known them forever because of the very warm reception we got from them. We witnessed how Yesim professionaly coordinated all her visitors' itineraries on the phone while Harfat took charge of the wheels. She would tell stories along the way, orient us on the activities for the duration of our stay, and even pull over a parked pick-up full of newly harvested fruits for some seasonal delicacies for us to taste. Such a personalized guidance! They made us feel so special with their thoughtfulness. Their choices of hotels for us to stay were so remarkable. We loved the modern minimalist architecture of the Efe Hotel overlooking the Aegean sea.
Our whole day at Ephesus was so enriching and profound. The Pamukkale' Cotton Mountain is one experience that should not be missed.
This Turkiye trip was really one for the books. We will definitely come back with our family and special friends. Of course through the guidance of Yesim, how can we go wrong? We will surely spread the word...MEGALE TRAVELS the best partner for your Turkey adventures. Til we meet again😉👍
