- Rudeyna Q0 contributions4 day Kusadasi tour with Bulut Brothers.We (4 adults) booked multiple trips and airport transfers with Bulut brothers over 4 days. We reserved a private PMD your, a car and driver for Ephesus and transfers from and to Izmir airport to Kusadasi. Our experience from beginning to end was wonderful. Harun kept in constant contact with us through WhatsApp. Ibrahim, our guide for Priene, Miletus and Didyma was extremely knowledgeable. He organized the trips according to our abilities. The drivers - Hassan, Argun- were extremely friendly and efficient. We felt extremely well taken care of. The cost was very reasonable, and lower than some of the other quotes we had received. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bulut brothers to any tourists visiting Kusadasi area.Written 23 May 2024

- charminglass0 contributionsPeaceful drive to Turkish village in mountainThis was our 4th visit to Kusadasi and we have visited Ephesus and the House of Mary twice, and the other sights on the 3rd visit. We were on a very port intensive cruise, so opted for a leisurely tour to the mountain village of Sirince this time. We were picked up in the port by a pleasant young man with good English. Sorry, I forget his name but he had a brother about to start university. We felt safe in the car as we drove up to Sirince which is a quaint , steep village, geared for tourists. There were many friendly cats about, also dogs sleeping anywhere on the streets. The cars just drove around them . There were many shops but the sales people did not badger us like those at the port did. We were able then to have a better look at things. We visited an old church, a coffee shop and a wine shop. Our guide was very helpful with my friend who was 82, holding her arm when the street was a hilly or slippery. The scenery was lovely on our drive from and back to the PortWritten 7 February 2024

Jeep Safari in Kusadasi For Adventurous Kusadasi Disappointing 915315787 We called at the Zeus cave first where we were given the chance to swim in the cave, this entailed going up a few steps, climbing over fencing and down rocks into the cave, it was very crowded so we gave swimming a miss. We then went to the national park where they parked the jeeps next to each other and gave people water guns and everyone got soaked. We carried on further up the dirt road when we stopped to shout at the mountain and to hear the returning echo. After this we got back into the jeep and carried on further up the road. Our next stop was in the middle of the road for "dancing" followed by another water fight. We then went further along the road to our final stop on the mountain where we were herded down the side of a hill through trees to visit the monastery. We were then held here until the drivers had finished cooking the BBQ. We made our way back to the jeeps where the drivers had cooked some chicken and rice. There was also salad, vegetables, bread rolls and soft drinks available. Beer was available to purchase from a cooler. This was all eaten standing on the side of the road. Our final stop was the beach club which had a pool and bar and the beach was located across the path. We were in a jeep with 7 other people who didn’t speak any English, our driver didn't speak any English either however another driver kept us informed of what was happening. I think they have the right concept, as in they want to make it a fun jeep safari but it is very poorly executed. Some of the drivers seem to play up to be fakely funny - not being rude but just trying too hard. I thought it would be more scenic but the only scenery they really stop for is at the top when you can see the Greek Island, at the monastery when you have some lovely views and also at the canyon where you should at the mountain, the rest is mainly forest. They also try to sell you a USB stick for €30 at the beach club of all the photos and videos of the day and aren't too happy when you don't want to buy it. This was something that was done 20 years ago but nowadays nearly everyone has their own smartphone to take photos and don’t need to pay extortionate price to by a usb stick.Written 8 September 2023

Absolutely loved our tours with Bulut Brothers! Highly recommend them.
Gökhan helped us organise everything from the beginning from when I sent the enquiry, and he was so helpful and informative and catered to our requests. Any question you had, he was always more than willing to help us. He always replied quickly to my emails.
We organised private tours of Mary’s House, Ephesus, The Terrace Houses and Artemis temple on the first day, and also a private tour of Hierapolis, Cleopatra’s Pools and Pamukkale on the second day.
We also had private transfers to and from Izmir airport to our hotel in Kusadasi.
Our first day was a private transfer and then straight onto our tour of Ephesus and the house of Mary.
For the private tours, our guide was Yetkin, and he couldn’t have been better. He was so knowledgeable and knew a lot of history. For a history buff like me, I was more than impressed on his knowledge. He was very accommodating and easy-going. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
On the last day, we went to Sirince, and it was self-guided, however our driver Ayhan was more than willing to show us around and give us tips too. After our time there, he transferred us back to Izmir airport. He was a really great driver and knew a lot of information as well.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Bulut Brothers and will definitely use them again for our next trip to this area.
Thank you to everyone at Bulut Brothers!!

Arranged this tour as we were in port for the day and wanted to visit Ephesus. Our guide Ozgar was excellent, he’s a 4th generation local to the area and his knowledge of the area and the history was incredible. He was so enthusiastic that our tour was fantastic and so informative. Our driver was first class too. Thoroughly recommend Bulut Travel for a private tour. One of the highlights of our cruise!

İt was an unforgettable experience for me in Kushadasi. I take went on a private tour to Ephesus. First they picked me up at hotel, the driver came on time, he was very polite and well mannered. When we arrived at Ephesus I was greeted by tour guide. He was very professional and acknowledged about his subject. He showed almost every place and explained carefully. When we finished with tour they lift me back to hotel. Overall it was a really nice day. I am highly satisfied with the service and would highly recommend to anybody who is looking for a private tours. Looking forward to coming back next year with the friends.

We had an excellent private tour to Ephesus. We did not want to go on a group tour, and we felt that we learned a lot more as there were only four of us on the tour. We would highly recommend this company and will use them again.
