We enjoyed an excellent day tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide! Umut was awesome, it’s clear his profession is his passion. Based on experience with tours around the world, I would definitely recommend this tour as a great use of time not just to hit the highlights and grab some great pics around Kusadasi but to meaningfully delve into the rich history of the area. Two thumbs way up.
