“Fantastic tour from pick-up to drop off. Our guide, Alex, was a wealth of information, delivered in excellent English with a warm and welcoming attitude. He was flexible with the restrictions my mother faced physically, and accommodated us to see things that were easier to traverse. In fact, he was the best tour guide of our entire trip, even better than the guides that were included on our cruise.”

Kusadasi: Guided Quad Biking Tour

2.Guided Quad Biking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 407 reviews · 3 hours · from $20Best value

Set out from Kusadasi with an English-speaking guide for a three-hour quad safari, including about 90 minutes of riding through woodland and river paths and along Pamucak Beach. You get a briefing and test ride before the route, plus a short beach stop for a swim or rest. Hotel and port pickup are included; photos and DVDs cost extra.

“This was a highlight of our trip! We got plenty of ride time - the first part was on fairly levelish terrain and we went over the same area - this I suppose was to get everyone familiar with the quad. Then Off we went. And lets just say there were guides everywhere on our trip. I did not feel like we would get lost or anything. Probably 3-4 guides per group. Someone in our group flipped off their quad and they were right there. A couple broke down and they were right there with replacements. At the base they had water and sodas for reasonable cost. A bathroom. Pictures…”

“The transport was punctual, the guide was knowledgeable and helpful, the lunch was buffet style and was not good. Poor quality food. People were loading their plates and finishing the desserts. There was not much left for us. The visit to the stone workshop could have been left out. Time should rather be spent at the Hierapolis and the thermal springs. Overall, it was worth doing but the experience can be made better.”
