Tour was very lovely and informative. A lot of history and background given about each place we visited. Tour guides were lovely especially our tour guide in Cappadocia, her name was Shukran. Had a few issues but Kerem from the tour company sorted it all out. Tour was altered to suit my needs and liking. Would definitely recommend this company to book a tour with. Very professional and helpful.

Kusadasi Tour Company arranged and conducted our tour in Turkey in the most professional way. They communicated with us before and during our tour and fulfilled all our expectations to explore their wonderful country. We traveled from Istanbul to Ephesus, Pamukkale, Cappadocia and back to Istanbul in great luxury and accompanied by very professional guides who all spoke excellent English. Our guide EMRE and driver HAKAN who accompanied us for most of our trip are the best in the business and were always prepared to walk the extra mile. We recommend Kusadasi Tour Company (Kerem and Jimmy) without hesitation.
