Perfect day

Published on Oct, 2024

First class experience. Guide was at cruiseport to greet us and we quickly loaded onto a new van for a private tour of the Virgin Mary house and ancient Ephesus. Our guide, Ayshe was pleasant and such a historian. Fabulous day !! Would highly recommend

SPECTACULAR!

Published on May, 2024

If I could make it 10 stars I would! Great communication, great organization, and our guide Memo Was spectacular And a wealth of knowledge!! Had had a great personality, and was a lot of fun! Took us to a local restaurant for lunch, where we experienced delicious Turkish food, along with the wonderful guided tour through Ephesus and the house of the Virgin Mary! Sheriff, Our driver was always waiting for us, made sure the van was put in the shade when it all possible, and the van was super perfect as well! Would highly recommend requesting Memo & Sheriff !

Awesome place

Published on Nov, 2023

The tour starts out with a road trip and stop at a rug factory for some excellent Turkish coffee, pastry, and a pitch to buy a rug or two. Next, we went to the House of Mary and then the ruins at Ephesus. The ruins at Ephesus are awesome and our guide extremely informative and personable. Highly recommend, even if you're not in the market for a rug.

Great day with Lori

Published on Nov, 2023

We had Lori is our guide. She was great, very knowledgeable and we had an awesome day with her. Highly recommend booking this private tour.

Highlights of Ephesus, Private Tour for Cruise Guests

Published on Oct, 2023

We arrived at our cruise port where we met our private tour guide, Filiz. The process was seamless. The three of us headed out on our tour with Filiz who took care of everything from start to finish. Filiz was extremally knowledgably, friendly, and a very positive person. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wanted to visit Ephesus and the sounding area. Ashley
