Ismail was a wonderful guide around Kusadasi. He picked us up from our cruise terminal, took us to all the sights, then dropped us at Cruise port at the end of the day. He gave us information on what we were seeing and the local culture and was very friendly and informative. After the tour we went to local reataurant that was the best part of the tour! The traditional dishes was so tasty! During the tour we had a chance to see sone traditional items (optional) I highly recommend him and this local company for private tours of Kusadasi! Thank you for a wonderful day!
