We have spent two splendid days because everything was tailored. The excellent vehicle and both the driver and Hugo had an exemplary predisposition! The explanations very clear showing great knowledge and we value very much that in several places we give us time without rushing to travel at our leisure I recommend it a hundred percent!!
¡Muchas gracias por su amable reseña! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron de sus dos días en Éfeso y Pamukkale y que todo salió a medida de lo que esperaban. Es un placer saber que tanto Hugo como nuestro chófer hicieron que la experiencia fuera cómoda y enriquecedora. Valoramos también sus palabras sobre el tiempo para recorrer sin apuros, algo que siempre intentamos ofrecer. ¡Gracias por recomendarnos y será un gusto recibirles de nuevo en Turquía! Con aprecio, Equipo de Puerto Travel
Wonderful experience with a guide which was listening to our needs and answering all our questions during our visit and which was also entertaining for the kids.
Hello, Thank you for your kind review. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your private tour and that the experience was both informative and fun for the whole family. It’s always our goal to make sure every guest feels comfortable and well taken care of. We’d love to welcome you again on another trip in Turkey! Best regards, Puerto Travel Team
Gufte was such a great tour guide for our time in Kusadasi!! Our first day we did a tour through Ephesus where she did such a great job explaining everything we were looking at and helping us to imagine what life was like in ancient Ephesus. She also took us to a local carpet weaving facility with a fantastic lunch and we ended the day with a visit to the house of the Virgin Mary. The second day we drove to Pamukkale to visit the ancient city of Heropolis. I learned a lot there and love having time to explore the natural pools. Gufte took us to a couple of other local places for souvenirs. I feel like I got a great balance of history and local culture experience with Gufte. She made a lot of suggestions of places to eat and things to do for the days we were not together. Gufte was very knowledgeable, flexible, and fun to be with for the two days we were together. I'm very thankful we had her as our tour guide and would highly recommend her to anyone.
Hi Elizabeth, We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Kusadasi and Pamukkale. It’s great to know you got to experience both the history and the local culture in such a fun way. We’re glad Gufte’s knowledge, flexibility, and suggestions made your trip even better. We’d love to see you back in Turkey one day! Puerto Travel Team
Güfte was our guide when we were staying in the Kuşadasi area. She was so kind and made sure we did everything we were wanting to do and more! Her experience and knowledge of Turkey is evident on the tours from the moment she meets you to the time to say goodbye. She was very patient and gave us options to customize our daily schedule. She made sure to accommodate us in any way which made our trip much more relaxed. She is very personable and professional! I highly recommend Güfte to anyone wanting to elevate their experience in Turkey!

Güfte was our tour guide for two days while in Kusadasi. She was so great in many ways. She spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable about the entire region. She made sure what we envisioned for those two days was the best. We visited several sights including Ephesus, Pammukale, Sirince and Heiropolis to name a few. She always gave us a couple options for seeing the sights and allowed us to choose what we wanted and that made me feel like we truly experienced what we wanted to the most. I highly recommend her for a private tour or whether you are in a group.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so glad to hear that your trip was enjoyable and meaningful for you and your daughters. It was a pleasure to host you in Turkey, and we truly appreciate your kind feedback. We hope to see you again on another adventure in the future! Warm regards, Puerto Travel Team
WE loved our time with Güfte our wonderful travel guide. She was so knowledgeable about the sites visited and nothing was too much trouble. She really made two extremely hot days very manageable that we almost forgot how hot it was. Together with our driver Salih they both made our two day’s fun and so enjoyable. We are very grateful to them both for their expertise and good company. Having this guide and driver was the best way to see these two sights and learn so much along the way. Thank you so much, from Lea and Chris, Australia.
Dear Lea and Chris, Thank you so much for your lovely words! We're delighted to hear that you had such a great experience exploring Ephesus and Pamukkale with Güfte and Salih. It makes us happy to know that even the summer heat couldn’t get in the way of your enjoyment! Wishing you many more unforgettable adventures, Puerto Travel Team

An amazing two days in Ephesus and Pamukkale. Our guide was Mrs. Gufte. Gufte and our driver were both very experienced. We enjoyed lunch with them after our visit to Hieropolis. Mrs. Ayfer who organized the trip was extremely helpful throughout the process, from booking until the end of the trip. She checked on us every step of the way. We highly recommend Puerto Travel Turkey.
Dear Rhodah, It was truly a pleasure to host you! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in Ephesus and Pamukkale with Güfte and our driver, and that Ayfer’s care made the whole process smooth from beginning to end.

Our guide gave a special flavour to our tour : She really listened to us and always tried to make sure we were happy, turning this discovery moment into a super positive experience that matched what we were hoping for. We had a great time, especially with such a lovely American family.
