The group had a great time in Ephesus. In all, this was the most wonderful tour.
This tour was less than the cruise tour. we had a fab..time. thx
Done a half day trip to ephesus, it really is amazing, and steeped in history. They are still uncovering ruins to this day. It gives you a real insight into time gone by.
We Just Wanted To Let You Know We Had A Wonderful Time. Ephesus Was Amazing !
We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thanks
thank you so much for an amazing trip
We had a half day tour of the ruins of Ephesus. We had a great time. Thanks
I would recommend a private guided tour even though there are signs with explanations all along the way.
had a wonderful time thank you
We would definitely recommend this private tour
We cannot recommend this tour enough. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tour.
we had a great time at ephesus. lovely day 🙂
we had a great trip thank you very much
We had a marvellous time. all the things and surprises they are really too amazing.
It was a great tour planned to accommodate a hot day. Great value for money. Thank you very much.
We had a wonderful time and thank you so much for everything.
highly recommend..
The tour began at approximately 8:30 and we were told it would be approximately 5 hours. We did not arrive back to port until after 2:30, so it made for a very long day.
well worth to visit, the terrace houses are interestin. loved ephesus itself.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS
This was my favorite private tour of the trip, thank you
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
Regards to Yesim and many thanks for a super day.
We just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time… It was a pleasure dealing with you and again, thank you so much for an amazing tour.
A private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
I don’t think I could have made a better choice. We had a great time!
Thank you very much for the Mystery Tours
a very enjoyable half day,would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
Thank you very much for your recommendation.
I highly recommend them, you will not regret it.
Thank you very much – we had a great time!
I would definitely recommend this tour!
The van was comfortable, the driver was careful and always timely with pick ups. It was a wonderful experience.
We will definitely be back to Turkey! Thank you very much we really had a great time.
well worth the money!!!
We had a very nice lunch there as part of the tour a super experience I highly recommend this tour
Definitely worth the money to get the private tour.
Our tour guide was waiting for us when our ship docked at kusudasi. We rode in a mercedes minivan for a 30 minute drive to Ephesus we spent a good amount of time at ephesus and house of terraces and I can tell you, a private tour is the way to go.
The tour was very reasonably priced compared to those offered by our cruise ship. We really appreciated the personal touch only afforded by a small group tour. I would strongly suggest that anyone traveling to Ephesus. You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks so much for the great day, and we hope to see you again
What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
The tour of the ruins was quite spectacular and extensive, with a re-enactment of the gladiators at the end of the tour. The ruins were up-close, not roped off, and you could actually touch them! I was especially enamored with the library ruins.
We enjoyed the whole trip and would do it again. Thanks
We had a wonderful time and everything was a great.
Thank you very much for the most wonderful day.
Terrific tour, you will enjoy Epheus-Turkey so much more if you go on this tour.
We really enjoyed the trip. Thank you very much
We did a private half day tour of Ephesus, We really enjoyed Ephesus and the terrace houses. Thanks
A fabulous day! Thank you
Ephesus tours was fantastic. they picked us up at the ship and we began a day of absolute perfection. we had toured Ephesus before on a prior cruise and used the tour from the cruise line. This time around wanted a more personal feel to our tour. There were specific places we wanted to visit and places we wanted to go back too.
I would go back and do the same tour all over again. the amount of history, customs and real life experiences we recieved made it a very special day.
Our guide was prompt, polite, knowledgeable and honest, and we had a very careful chauffeur as well. We would certainly recommend the young gentleman, Selcuk Senkan, as a guide if you are in Ephesus Turkey.
we really had a great time. thanks
Great guides. Great information! Don’t take the cruise line tours, they are so expensive! Save money! Meet fun people!
lunch was great, ephesus was a great place to visit we had a wonderful day.
A great way to see Ephesus on a budget. Highly recommended.
This was one of the best and most economical tours of our cruise and we certainly recommend that anyone visiting kusadasi consider this tour.
It was a great day with so much to see in such a beautiful city
our guide yesim efficiently guided us through the crowds making sure that our small group of 8 arrived before the larger buses thus allowing us to get the full experience. our lunch at the carpet school was both tasty and enlightening none of us actually understood the process of collecting silk or the painstaking job of making those beautiful works of art. We wish that we were there to purchase but not this time.
The price of our private tour was much less than the tours provided by our ship, The Norwegian Jade. It was a great tour.
Terrace Houses they are most impressive and unbelievable. They are the homes of the very rich of the day with indoor hot and cold water, heated homes, indoor bathrooms and even a sauna with heated floors. The lunch was awsome and got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Thanks again
unforgettable day. thanks
Our day went perfectly, our guide was open and flexible to letting us tour at our own pace and we always seemed at least two steps ahead of the large tour groups..
The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this tour company as they were very professional and the price was very reasonable.
Ephesus is one of the most interesting of all the Greek cities on the Asia Minor Peninsula. We had a great tour. Thanks
Impressive and extensive ruins that you actually walk through and can touch, Not like ruins in Rome that are fenced or roped off to keep you from touching anything. An offered side tour within Ephesus are the Terrace Houses which are enclosed in a large shelter and which you walk through or over on scaffolding and the House of Virgin Mary was great.
Highly recommended I loved
We had a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend
Great tour, excellent guide, fantastic would highly recommend
We were travelling on a cruise ship with 3 couples and booked a private tour. Our tour guide Yesim was great! She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had. Even though it was very crowded in Ephesus, Yesim seemed to get us to each place before the big crowds arrived! We would definitely recommend this company and tour guide, and Turkey of course!
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. I am sorry I do not remember her name, but she was so considerate to us and to the elderly woman traveling with us. The tour of Ephesus was delightful and unforgettable for us. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable. The driver was a gentleman. All in all, a wonderful tour and one I would not hesitate to take again and recommend to others.
I would highly recommend great experience to anyone, and I am pleased to say that I had a great time
I would definitely recommended, amazing
INCREDIBLE!! If you are in Epheses you MUST add this to your tour. Absolutely breathtaking.
Seeing how people lived nearly 2,000 years ago and how they took advantage of what must have been considered ultra-modern science is fascinating. The housing units, while literally piled atop one another, are still separate and distinct.
Our tour guide Selcuk did a great job of taking us through Ephesus and describing the site. It was definitely much better than doing a large group tour. The bus met us at the port when our ship docked and they got us back in plenty of time to catch the ship prior to departure. Definitely worth the money to get the private tour.
Terrace Houses was great,
when we visited kusadasi turkey our guide yesim was marvelous and very knowledgeable. she spoke flawless english. we even had a few minutes of shopping. we would whole-heartedly recommend this company and this guide in particular.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us the best places to get photos of various things. At several attractions, he let us have time to ourselves to walk around.
I highly recommend getting your own, private tour with this company when you dock in Kusadasi. It’s much better than getting on a crowded bus and waiting for other people in your party.
Our guide sat and chatted with us the entire way to Ephesus about Turkish history, lifestyle, and some chitchat. At Ephesus she gave as a solid, amazing tour.
The Terrace Houses are amazing. Our guide gave us a very nice little gift bag with some very thoughtful souvenirs(this never happened with our cruise tours) and brochures of other destinations in Turkey that look wonderful too. Thank you
Done a day trip to ephesus, it really is amazing, and steeped in history. They are still uncovering ruins to this day. It gives you a real insight into time gone by.
We chose a private guided tour rather than a ship excursion and “I Would Definitely Recommend”
excellent tour..
We used this tour instead of booking a tour through the cruise company. We had a half day tour of the ruins of Ephesus and The Virgin Mary’s house. We were also taken to a carpet maker to see how carpets were made and lunch. The carpet demonstration was interesting however, I did feel uncomfortable not making a purchase.
There is a lot of walking so this would be a difficult tour for the elderly.
We greatly enjoyed our half day tour I definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
We have travelled a lot but we have never used a tour guide before so we were a little skeptical. We also had an offer from another tour operator and it was pretty much the same price. We had a fantastic day, It was amazing.
We started the day by visiting Ephesus and went into the back entrance, which was incredibly smart because it meant we were going against the crowds and that we had the wonderful amphitheater mostly to ourselves. Our price included all entrance fees, including into the Terrace Houses, which were definitely a highlight of the day and the House of Virgin Mary.
We enjoyed our day, learned a lot, and felt the price to be very fair. Many on our cruise ship simply took Royal Caribbean’s shore excursion and missed out on several of the things we saw…
My husband and I had arranged the tour in advance of our arrival by cruise ship. We made the arrangements via e-mail and all of our questions were responded to quickly and professionally.
We generally book tours through the cruise line but are so glad we make the choice to do this private tour. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
Found our guide outside the port (amongst a dozen others) with him holding a sign with our names. We had a very knowledgeable English speaking guide + a driver in a spacious air conditioned minivan. Very interesting archeological site.
The van was very nice and huge for passengers.
Not just the history of what we were visiting, but the history of many topics!
We spent the day in Ephesus with our guide Irem. She was excellent! She went with us in to the sites and explained what we were seeing. Turkey is absolutely beautiful and a place I would love to visit again. We toured the ruins in Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary, and the church of St. John. We could have done without the carpet shop and leather factory, but overall the day was perfect. Our lunch was very good and was included in the price of the tour. I would definitely recommend this for those of you with a one day stop in Turkey on a cruise ship.
From the moment our tou guide picked us up at the hotel until she dropped us in the afternoon she was helpful and flexible. It was a great tour planned to accommodate a hot day. Great value for money.
We really felt that this tour was well worth the money, and would highly recommend Koksal as a guide.
On the whole Ephesus is a fantastic place to visit but my tour was disappointing due to a rushed timeline and missing attraction.
Loved Ephesus itself, its well worth any visit! The terrace houses are interesting and so its good to confirm that portion of the tour is included.
I was very glad we choose private tour to ephesus. Thanks
Our tour was incredible, we had a great time!
We did not find the visit an intrusion, but rather an experience that we all enjoyed, and it was not very long. We had booked a deluxe half day tour, but we were all tired, but felt that the day had been well worth it, Ephesus was fantastic,
Our turkish guide, koksal, is a native of ephesus who speaks English and japanese he was outgoing, friendly, interested in his guests, and extremely knowledgeable of the history of ephesus. excellent
After visiting the House of Mary, we drove to the historic ruins at the city of Ephesus. We saw all the things on our wish list, plus things we did even know about. We left the ruins and went to a carpet factory and saw firsthand how the carpets are hand tied. Then we had lunch, in a lovely garden setting, featuring traditional Turkish dishes, delicious a private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
I don’t think I could have made a better choice. Booking in advance was painless and all questions and emails were answered promptly.
use this tour company they are very professional
I would highly recommend
We booked a half day deluxe ephesus tour with this company which went off without a hitch, meeting all of our expectations our guide was the charming yesim whose english was very good she did her best to move us away from the crowds at various points at ephesus and gave clear explanations of the many wonderful exhibits there terrace houses and celsus library. We also went to the house of virgin Mary
All in all, a very enjoyable half day. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
our guide and we enjoyed the entire day very knowledgeable and made our tour special she is able to get you ahead of the bus loads of people coming to the sites saw alot of the countryside we otherwise would not have seen in a very comfortable setting the lunch outdoors was good and a nice way to experience this part of turkey
The guides were all professional, knowledgeable and personable.
We were very pleased with our tour to Ephesus and the Terrace Houses for sure, include this in your tour!! We were concerned because we requested it only about 5 days before we left for our cruise. They responded very quickly and we confirmed the reservation. We also appreciated that we were able to pay after the trip, so we did not have to worry about paying then no one showing up.
If you arrive in Ephesus via cruise, definitely skip any excursions offered by your cruise line and book a private tour with Ephesus Tours. Not only is it much cheaper, it’s more comfortable, private, and you can go at your own pace.
My family and I took a deluxe half day tour just last week. Our guide was excellent friendly knowledgeable and very funny and very comfortable Mercedes that felt more like a limo than a van.
We visited the Ephesus ruins first fantastic. The terrace houses wa great I highly recommend, especially if you’re interested in art.
We then visited the house of the virgin mary. It’s actually a church built on the foundations of the house, not the actual house itself. Maybe the experience would be more inspiring or impressive to someone religious, but to me the actual site was pretty ho-hum. But the views during the drive there are spectacular, and that alone makes the trip worthwhile.
But overall, everything was great. We had a wonderful time in Ephesus Turkey and would definitely recommend this tour!
The van was comfortable, the driver was careful it was a wonderful experience.
My husband and I booked a halfday private tour. This tour company was extremely professional right from the beginning, with excellent information and service. We would highly recommend this company.
In my opinion, this is the only way to see Ephesus. Would totally recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Ephesus. well worth the money
We had a Mercedes van and were very comfortable. I highly recommend this tour…
Our tour guide was lovely – she spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. Thanks
efeso la casa de la virgen maria fue todo maravilloso la verdad la antigua ciudad de efeso era realmente magica es magnifica la biblioteca es sorprendente es muy grande las casas terrazas fueron mis favoritas no entiendo como en esos tiempos tenian tanta imaginacion para hacer las cosas imaginence que en mi casa ni si quiera hay terrazas 🙂 hacemos un edificio y se nos cae en tres minutos y la biblioteca lleva anos y cientos de temblores y aun sigue intacta 🙂 la verdad si comenzara a explicar realmente que vi y que impresiones me lleve terminaria manana es magica la casa de la virgen maria es un lugar para descanzar el alma un lugar notable esta ubicada a un par de kilometros de efeso solamente pero esta dentro del bosque todo muy tranquilo verde nos encontramos una misa con un padre de la region como les dije todo fue muy espiritual y nos tomamos nuestro tiempo para rezar y reflexionar y el guia tuvo una pasciencia muy grande con nosotros no nos apresuro para nada era como si nosotros fueramos los duenos del tour 🙂 …. no me queda nada mas que decir que el tour privado de efeso por el dia completo queda 100 :% recomendado muchas gracias por ese maravilloso dia que nos entregaron…..
YOYO 🙂
This is a great tour. The car is new and clean, the guide well spoken and knowledgeable.
We really felt that this tour was well worth the money, and would highly recommend Koksal as a guide.
Nuestro guía turístico nos ha llevado a Éfeso y la Casa de la Virgen María. Nuestro guía era muy conocedor y dispuestos a explicar la vida en Turquía. Disfrutamos de la comida y la vistas que hicimos en el lugar …
This is good value for money, we were picked up and dropped off to the port. Our mistake was only taking the half day tour. Ephesus only needs a minimum 4 hour.
My husband and I booked a private tour of Ephesus while we were in port for one day. We didn’t really like the tours offered by our cruise ship, so we opted for a customized tour. It only cost us about $20 more. Highly recommend.
Ephesus foi uma das 12 cidades de Jonia (antiga região grega na costa oeste da Ásia Menor). Na antiguidade foi uma grande cidade (a segunda maior do Império Romano, por muitos anos), porto de partida para o comércio na região e conhecida por seus santuários sagrados. Foi uma das Sete Igrejas da Ásia citadas no livro do Apocalipse. O Evangelho de São João pode ter sido escrito na cidade, onde o cristianismo mais se difundiu. As escavações no local tiveram início em 1863 e, de lá para cá, têm revelado muitas construções antigas, incluindo templos, casas, edifícios públicos, igrejas e um magnífico teatro.
O atendimento dos funcionários é muito bom, especialmente na loja de suvenires – todos falam inglês fluente e são bastante atenciosos.
Os ônibus de turismo nos deixam próximos da entrada principal. Explorar Ephesus significa estar disposto a uma caminhada de pelo menos 2 horas, ruas abaixo. À medida em que descemos, mais surpresas temos, pois o melhor, está no final do passeio.
Vale a pena conhecer! Caminhar pela rua principal, ver as ruínas do Templo de Adriano, o grande Anfiteatro, a Biblioteca de Celso e outras construções que ainda estão sendo reveladas, é surpreendente! As escavações estão revelando, lentamente, como era a vida nesta cidade.
A visita é indescritível. Para quem gosta de História, é imperdível. eu goste de tudo voltaremos o mais rapido posible em esse ano… obrigado agencia obrigado guia fico tudo bem…
This was an attraction I almost passed on, but my flight attendant recommended it. I am so glad I went! The tour of the ruins was quite spectacular and extensive, with a re-enactment of the gladiators at the end of the tour. The ruins were up-close, not roped off, and you could actually touch them!!! I was especially enamored with the library ruins.
Great way to tour Ephesus. Total experience exceeded my expectations. Guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, lunch in restaurant at selcuk was included in cost and was very good salad, entree, and dessert plus wine included. Overall, it was a very relaxng and enjoyable day.
The guide was very flexible being a private vehicle they would stop anywhere we asked them to. It was amazing experience with these great people.
We will definitely be back to Turkey! Thank you very much we really had a great time.
The scenery was breathtaking, enjoyed every minute of it. The Microlight was very comfortable and the scenic flight was great value for money and great friendly and experienced pilot.
a wonderful guide and a driver
This was the perfect tour to see all of Ephesus in a limited amount of time.
We had a marvellous time. all the things and surprises they are really too amazing.
Instead of taking the ships tour we booked a private tour and it was a great day.
I have never had a better tour guide than Selcuk Senkan. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable.
If you arrive in Ephesus via cruise, definitely skip any excursions offered by your cruise line and book a private tour with Ephesus Tours. Not only is it much cheaper, it’s more comfortable, private, and you can go at your own pace.
My family and I took a deluxe half day tour just last week. Our guide was excellent friendly knowledgeable and very funny and very comfortable Mercedes that felt more like a limo than a van.

This is a realy great tour,. the car was new and very clean, the guide well spoken and knowledgeable.
Exceptional tour with Turkey and Ephesus Vision. Great and well informed guide with small group of 5. Delightful lunch at restaurant. Dropped back the port of kusadasi fabulous day.
well worth the money!!!
Doing a tour with only 8 people was wonderful. Ephesus is gorgeous.
unforgettable day. thanks
Our turkish guide, koksal, is a native of ephesus who speaks English and japanese he was outgoing, friendly, interested in his guests, and extremely knowledgeable of the history of ephesus. excellent
Excellent…the other couple on our tour did not show so we had the guide to ourselves and this of clourse meant more time exploring the area of Ephesus. I have been to the ephesus four time previously and I saw more this time than on any other previous occasion.
Thank you Yesim for an incredible time. Your knowledge is most impressive. For anyone who reads this and is planning a trip to Turkey, you can not go wrong with using this company. We were never rushed or pressured into buying anything and even got to see a fashion show. This is something I never thought I would enjoy but it was pretty cool. When going to Ephesus do not miss out on the Terrace Houses they are most impressive and unbelievable. They are the homes of the very rich of the day with indoor hot and cold water, heated homes, indoor bathrooms and even a sauna with heated floors. The rug making tour was very cool, the lunch was awsome and got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Thanks
We did a private tour of Ephesus, The Terrace Houses and Sirince Vilalge and it was an amazing day and the views in Sirince were great. We really enjoyed Ephesus and the terrace houses. The private tour was by far one of the best we have ever had, and was comparable to the larger ship tours.
These guys were great. My wife drug me kicking and screaming to do this. The whole operation was top notch. Instructors were top notch, made you feel comfortable and loads of fun to be around..Skydiving is recommended.
We thoroughly enjoyed the ephesus tour. Tour guide was knowledgable and personable. Tour was amazing and highly recommended. A great day.
I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. It was AMAZING. You have to try it…
We would not have enjoyed Turkey as much as we did if we had not taken this tour. The tour picked us up at the cruise terminal. We knew the sites we were going visit but our tour guide suggested the order to visit that would suit us best.
the ruins of the ancient city of ephesus are a mustsee for people visiting turkey they are difficult to get to so it’s best to go by private tour.
We were travelling on a cruise ship with 3 couples and booked a private tour our tour guide seemed to get us to each place before the big crowds arrived thanks.
Thanks so much for the great day
Thought it was a guided tour but all ok for independent tour guide gave good instructions was excellent to have pick up and drop off recommended
una de las cosas que mas me gusto del tour privado fue que las van son realmente muy confortables y son de lujo ademas el guia que tuvimos fue muy bueno ya que hablaba espanol y se veia que conocia muy bien el lugar tenia mucho conocimiento de la historia se su pais que no nos quedo ninguna duda sobre lo que vimos… eso fue lo que corresponde a la comodidad y de el tour fue efeso y la casa de la virgen maria dentro de efeso estan las casas terrazas se ve que eran casas de lujo me gusto bastante, efeso es una antigua ciudad que la verdad me parece que esta en muy buen estado lo bueno es que siguen las excavciones espero que cuando vuelva a ir .. cosa que hare lo mas pronto posible es que vere mas cosas ya desenterradas de las ruinas…
taty 🙂
We had a terrific day our tour was flawlessly performed from start to finish.
I booked a private tour for 8 people for a one day cruise stop in November, at the port of izmir my booking was done through email.
The tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Terrace houses was incredible. A fabulous day! Thank you.
Atraves de esta pagina quiero agradeser a todas las personas que hicieron este tour posible desde el chofer guia agencia y todos fue todo muy bien organizado la verdad no encuntro alguna cosa mala han pasado casi 2 meses de que volvimos del tour con mi familia y no hay dia en que no recordemos algo de ese maravilloso momento nos acordamos de nuestro guia que era muy conocedo y profesional en el tema ademas de eso era muy divertido ya saben que un guia puede ser muy bueno pero si no es divwertido el tour no pasa… Este era genial… Despues de nuestro dia completo que pasamos en efeso y la casa de la virgen maria en turquia nos devolvimos a nuestro crusero comenzaron las bromas con mi familia diciendo: Quedemos nos a trabajar y a vivir aca en efeso 🙂 fue una maravillosa experiencia… despues de llegar a nuestro pais comense a buscar atravez de internet cocina turca aver si podia hacer lo mismo o algo similar a lo que comimos alli, es tanto lo que recordamos nuestro tour que tenemos un pequeno rincon en nuestra casa con recuerdos de efeso y la casa de la virgen maria e incluso aun tenemos los boletos de entrada a los museos 🙂 Aca en mi pais son las 01:28 AM y estoy organizando otro tour para mi y mi familia tengo planeado realizarlo a mediados de septiembre y lo mejor de todo essss que sera una sorpresa para mi familia manana la dare al desayuno 🙂 espero que ustedes tambien visiten el lugar se los recomiendo de todo corazon….
Very interesting and informative trip. The tour guide was very friendly, fun and knowledgeable in the history of ephesus. Highly recommend this!
Several factors made this all day tour of Ephesus well worth the money. knowledgable guide, delicious lunch, and plenty of time to enjoy the sights. I recommend this tour.
We cannot recommend this tour enough. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
The driver was excellent.
The Virgin Mary’s home was interesting, but the tour of Ephesus was fascinating and very memorable. Fortunately our tour contact suggested we also visit the Terrace Homes, another great experience. Our guides were personable and gave us great insight into that period of time. We had a lunch of Turkish favorite dishes in a beautiful outdoor setting.
This tour was less than the cruise tour. we had a fab..time. thx
The tour of Ephesus was amazing. A must-visit place if you visit Turkey. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone who is travelling to Turkey and to Ephesus. fantastic!
Ephesus was a great place to visit whe have a wonderful day.
I don’t think I could have made a better choice. Booking in advance was painless and all questions and emails were answered promptly.
Ephesus – the city established in 10 BC is a must visit for anyone having an interest in history. What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
The site is surprisingly easy to access from Selcuk (5 km) or Kusadasi (15 km)
Be sure to take ample sun protection and water on the tour since one cannot get anything in the middle of the ruins,
AMAZING!! Our tour guide was filled with so much knowledge and experience – he taught us so much, and we really enjoyed our time with him. If you have a short time in ephesus- this is the only way to go!
The places we visted were Mary’s House, Esphesus ruins, a pottery shop and a leather goods shop. We also stopped for lunch at a beautiful outdoor cafe. The food and the hospitality was great.
A necessity! We were debating doing a tour or trying to manage by ourselves, booking the tour was the best decision. Our guide Koksal was very organized and knowledgeable, and with the crowds it was important to be with someone who could explain and the headsets were a great asset. Lunch was good.A Wonderful day.
Beautiful, beautiful place, great punctual and informative guide with great passion for the history of Ephesus.
Seeing how people lived nearly 2,000 years ago and how they took advantage of what must have been considered ultra-modern science is fascinating. The housing units, while literally piled atop one another, are still separate and distinct.
Ephesus is one of the most interesting of all the Greek cities on the Asia Minor Peninsula. We had a great tour. Thanks
La visita a Efeso, è una tra le più straordinarie che si possa fare in Turchia.
La sua splendida architettura era dedicata alla dea Artemide, il suo grande tempio, era considerato come una delle Sette Meraviglie del Mondo Antico. Efeso è di grande interesse per i cristiani dato che c’è la casa della Vergine Maria, si ritiene che la Vergine Maria venne a Efeso per sfuggire alla persecuzione cristiana e vivere gli ultimi giorni della sua vita. La casa dove si pensa abbia vissuto si trova in cima a una montagna e può essere visitata liberamente.
Abbiamo ammirato il teatro , il ginnasio, i bagni, l’agorà e la biblioteca di Celso, che custodiva 12.000 rotoli nelle nicchie delle pareti. La biblioteca, recentemente restaurata, è stata costruita in onore di Celso Gaio.
Ultima delle meraviglie che abbiamo visitato durante il nostro tour della Turchia, Efeso ci è particolarmente piaciuta, inoltre è uno dei più grandi e meglio conservati siti dell’antichità.
Meta di tantissimi turisti che con le navi da crociera approdano ad Izmir tutto belissimo ritornare cuesti anni si dio lo voli
Done a half day trip to ephesus, it really is amazing, and steeped in history. They are still uncovering ruins to this day. It gives you a real insight into time gone by.

I sent emails asking for prices and options to create a private tour for our shore excursion. I was able to take a standard tour and customize it and it was less than half the price of the group tour shore excursion offered by our cruise. We met our private guide and driver as soon as we got off the ship. We first started with a drive out to the Virgin Mary’s House. Along the drive, we learned some interesting facts about the region and Turkey in general. Then, we reached Mary’s house and toured the site very interesting. Then it was off to Ephesus where we had a leisurely and informative tour through the amazing ruins. Make sure to get the added tour of the terrace houses. This is the most well preserved ancient ruins ever discovered.
Then it was off to St John’s Basilica and the Temple of Artimis to finish the tour. The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this private tour the price was very reasonable.
Thank you very much for your recommendation.
The most informative tour we did whilst away, having a small group with english speaking guides was great. Our Tour Guides Burcu she was wonderful. Would recommend small groups tours to anyone visit the ephesus.
Ephesus was our favorite port of call. Our guide was extremely courteous, knowledgeable about everything from antiquities, to agriculture, and even funny the tour is much less expensive than the ship offerings and far superior in terms of attention.
There were 6 adults in our group. They picked us up at port they will bringing the wheelchair with. Very comfortable air conditioned vehicle. We had our own personal tour of Ephesus then a wonderful lunch. The site is difficult for wheelchairs due to the uneven marble road.
On the whole Ephesus is a fantastic place to visit but my tour was disappointing due to a rushed timeline and missing attraction.
It was a great day with so much to see in such a beautiful, clean city!
Our guide was a great guide full of historical knowledge as well as answering questions about the land and people.
I especially liked the little village Sirence that we visited. The people were so friendly and the village gave us the opportunity to purchase gifts to take home that were handmade.
when we visited kusadasi turkey our guide yesim was marvelous and very knowledgeable. she spoke flawless english. we even had a few minutes of shopping. we would whole-heartedly recommend this company and this guide in particular.
como dice el eslogan disfruta de la libertad de el tour privado… yo creo que lo dice por todas las posibilidades que te entregan en ella de dia completo puede ser de medio dia cualquiera de las dos realmente valen la pena hasta el ultimo centavo que se paga ya que la calidad de guias y los coches son de lujo el guia en el idioma que tu quieras por ejemplo en castellano fue muy bueno tenia muy pocos errores era muy divertido tambien simpatico el coche o van era de lujo nueva del anho y con aire acondicionado apesar del calor que hacia afuera dentro de la van estaba bastante fresco…. en efeso nos demoramos un par de horas ya que nos explicaron con muchos detalles el coliseo de efeso las casas terraza la biblioteca y luego fuimos a la casa de la virgen maria que es un lugar muy espiritual e incluso cuando entramos alli lei que decia que era un lugar considerado como lugar de peregrinacion… cuando terminamos de en esos dos lugares fuimos a la basilica de san juan tambien un lugar bastante bien conservado El templo de artemisa la verdad podria haber sido mejor pero bueno hay que entender que son ruinas 🙂 en general el pais esta muy bien conservado, una de las cosas que mas me agrado de todo fue que las personas son muy amables y amistosas y a pesar de todo las culturas del pais y de las personas no se han perdido del mucho no hubo presion en ningun lugar que entraramos sea grande o pequeno nos ofrecian beber el famos te turco o de manzana que a todo esto estuvo muy bueno, el almurzo ni que hablar 🙂 yo antes habia comido algo de cocina turca pero cuando fui nunca pense que seria mucho mas rica de la que habia comido en mi pais la verdad me fascino todo muy sabroso… bueno para terminar mi comentario quiero decir que si ven este tour privado en algun lugar no lo dude un minuto y cojalo ya que como les explique todo es de la mas alta calidad realmente vale la pena todo lo pagado 🙂
navyyy
lunch was great, ephesus was a great place to visit we had a wonderful day.
I booked a private tour for 8 people for a one day cruise stop in November, at the port of izmir my booking was done through email.
The tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Terrace houses was incredible. A fabulous day! Thank you.
Outstanding, our guide was great.
la isla de kusadasi es realmente maravillosa lo mejor de todo es que con el guia que tuvimos aparte de hacer la visita a efeso y la casa de la virgen maria tambien nos mostro el centro de la ciudad me gusto mucho todo lo recomiendo de todas formas
We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thanks
Mi esposa y yo hicimos una excursión en Éfeso y fue una experiencia excelente. Nos recibieron en el puerto del cruceros de Izmir deniz y el conductor. deniz habla un castellano perfecto y es muy amable y profesional. La furgoneta era espacioso muy limpio y cómodo. Los paquetes de información que tenían eran grandes y varios pequeños souvenirs se incluyeron. Nosotros elegimos visitar las principales ruinas de Éfeso y el Templo de Artemisa. Fue todo muy increíble
I arranged a tour before going on a Mediterrian cruise. We did an amazing tour of Ephesus and Sirence village with the lovely and incredibly knowledgeable guide. Thank you for a memorable and informative day!
Visited as part of our Adriatic & Aegean cruise. Docked in Kusadasi and this provided a short driving tour of the area around the Ephesus site.
Buy one of the books that descibes the site as a helpful resource. The site accepts only Turkish Lira or credit card payments. There is a museum in the adjacent community where many of the original artifacts are housed. The site can become crowded during the peak tourist season and is open air so if it is hot, you’ll be out in the sun the whole time.
estoy aca para recomendar de todo corazon el tour privado que entrega esta empresa realmente es un privilegio tener todo un equipo a tu disposicion un buen guia que realmente sabe tu idioma un coche de lujo y el tour muy bien organizado… como dije es un tour que recomiendo de todo corazon.
Our guide was so informative and he was very funny making our experience so enjoyable!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
It is really worth seeing. Restroom facilities at the entry are limited and very crowded. There are also restrooms near the exit and they are not crowded.
In Izmir, we were picked up right at the cruise ship at the appointed time and boarded a large van for just the four of us. You can book the tour on-line ahead of time, and you can pick and choose the sights you want to see. Overall, more reasonable than the ship tours, and a lot more flexibility, this tour company is great.
The line was incredible the day we were there so very happy we booked the tour. Well worth the money. Lunch was quite good also.
our ephesus tour was one of the highlights
que mejor que viajar solos en un tour privado las cosas se hacen segun el gusto de uno…
had a wonderful time thank you
Trip was great. Our driver was very personable.
We booked a half day deluxe ephesus tour with this company which went off without a hitch, meeting all of our expectations our guide was the charming yesim whose english was very good she did her best to move us away from the crowds at various points at ephesus and gave clear explanations of the many wonderful exhibits there terrace houses and celsus library. We also went to the house of virgin Mary
All in all, a very enjoyable half day. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
Our visit to ephesus was great as well as educational made possible by our terrific tour guide personality as well as her mastery of the English language made the day a delightful one. We wish we could have her for all the tours we take!!
el costo realmente es economico si tomamos en cuenta que es medio dia o dia completo lo que se ve aprende en efeso no tiene valor la cultura y placer no se compran se viven
The best of all the tours we did. The AC van, guide, driver, and lunch excellent.
Turkey Ephesus is an amazing must see destination!. I was glad I went with a guide as she knew a wealth of information that couldn’t be found just by walking around by ourselves. Thanks
our guide was excellent. Turkish lunch very good. I would book another tour with you. thanks
We really enjoyed the trip. Thank you very much
A must see when in Turkey. We’ll definitely recommend this to our friends. thanks
Primero que nada quiero agradeser a todos los que coperaron en el tour, esto comenso asi: primero que nada llego el crusero a la ciudad o maravillosa ciudad de izmir por la manana nos hicieron una resepcion de bienvenida muy agradable yo el tour lo contrate en el barco no me recuerdo muy bien pero no nos costo mucho ya que fue mi marido y mis hijos, despues de haber salido del barco pasamos el control de pasaporte y luego nos estaba esperando nuestro guia Mehmet muy agradable y hablaba bastante bien el espanol y nuestro chofer estaba ahi aunque no halaba nuestro idioma nos saludo muy cordiamente y nos subimos a una van que era bastante lujosa y muy refrescante ya que estaba funcionando el aire acondicionado. despues comenzo nuetro tour privado de dia completo comenzamos por Efeso luego La Casa De La Virgen Maria ahi tuvimos una pequena misa junto con una cura de la zona despues fuimos a almorzar yo habia escuchado bastante sobre la comida turca pero jamas la habia probado bueno alla si que lo hice y si que la hice muuuuy bien fue todo muy rico comimos una pizza turca llamada Pide comimos el famoso Kebab fue todo maravilloso mientras nosotros disfrutabamos de nuestro almurzo con mi mariado el guia y el chofer estaba con nuestros hijos ellos tambien lo disfrutaron mucho creo que este tour privado fue inolvidable para nuestra familia el guia era muy conocedor de la region decia que habia crecido ahi jugando en las ruinas de la antigua ciudaD DE Efeso les juro jamas olvidare esas vacaciones y lo he recomendado a todos mis amigos y amigas que vayan a Efeso conoscan la casa de la virgen maria y recorran todo el circuito y ademas les recomende tambien esta agencia por sus precios y ademas por la carinosa atencion que entregaron para mi familia… muchas gracias nuevamente por todo lo que hicieron por nosotros…
would strongly recommend
La capital de Jonia…La ciudad de Artemisa…la segunda ciudad mas importante del imperio romano…El mayor museo el aire libre del mundo…
A lo mejor me fui mil veces a Efeso, cada vez tengo la misma emocion , la misma preocupacion de explicar muy bien la ciudad de Efeso. Porque hay que explicar todo , sin olvidarse de ningun detalle de la ciudad…porque es una ”JOYA” , es un regalo de los romanos y otras civilizaciones a Turquia.Teniendo esta importancia historica hay que explicarla con todos sus detalles.
Es una ciudad greco-romana, una de las siete maravillas del mundo se encuentra aqui.Tiene templos dedicados a Domiciano y a Hadriano, fuentes monumentales, calles de marmol blanco, con capiteles jonicos , coritios y compuestos…Despues de caminar bastante y ver muchos monumentos por el camino al final llegan a ”La Biblioteca de Celso ” se quedan sorprendidos , por que justo en frente ustedes tienen la tercera biblioteca nas grande del mundo….ES la obra MAESTRA de Efeso…
Al final llegan al Gran Teatro de Efeso ,aqui no sirven las palabras y frases , hay que verlo, un teatro con una capacidad de 24.000 espectadores…
Este es Efeso, las palabras no sirven para explicar este viaje en ”la historia”… la magia de esta antigua ciudad hay que vivirla en persona se los recomiendo es maravilloso
Very organized tour. The tour guide was great. Ephesus was beautiful. I would recommend this private tour to everyone.
It could not have been a better choice for us. There were no surprises we had a great time.
We all love a old little beautiful village, ephesus and virgin marys house was absolutely fabulous.
Excellent way to see the city without being in a big crowd, you call the shots on what you see and how long you stay. Great way to get your bearings around the ephesus city and the guide was very informative. Very comfortable air conditioned vehicle.
Ephesus tours was fantastic.
Thank you very much for a lovely day. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and courteous. The vehicle was impeccable.
After visiting the House of Mary, we drove to the historic ruins at the city of Ephesus. We saw all the things on our wish list, plus things we did even know about. We left the ruins and went to a carpet factory and saw firsthand how the carpets are hand tied. Then we had lunch, in a lovely garden setting, featuring traditional Turkish dishes, delicious a private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
The team was absolutely fantastic.I definitely recommend this place to everyone! Thanks guys !!
thank you so much for an amazing trip
We spent a good amount of time at ancient ephesus and house of terraces and I can tell you, a private tour is the way to go. There were many group tours that would crowd around their guide to get a glimpse of what he/she was pointing out. With a private tour, you are able to set the pace with your guide and skip what you aren’t that interested in. We also visited the House of the St Mary, Temple of Artemis. It was a full day that did not disappoint and well worth the expense.
This was the perfect tour for us as we only had 8 hours in Ephesus. We were picked up from the airport at 8:30am. our tour guide, Yesim, was great. She gave us plenty of time at each stop to have a good look around and was fun and informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone with limited time in Ephesus..
The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this tour company as they were very professional and the price was very reasonable.
It was a great tour planned to accommodate a hot day. Great value for money. Thank you very much.
Wonderful! Yesim was a great guide. Loved everyone minute of it.
Thanks so much for the great day,
Our guide was the most friendly, fun. My only suggestion to others would be to book the whole day ephesus trip so you can thoroughly enjoy the ephesus and around the city.
Terrace Houses they are most impressive and unbelievable. They are the homes of the very rich of the day with indoor hot and cold water, heated homes, indoor bathrooms and even a sauna with heated floors. The lunch was awsome and got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Thanks again
A great way to see Ephesus on a budget. Highly recommended.
The price of our private tour was much less than the tours provided by our ship, The Norwegian Jade. It was a great tour.
Fuimos en diciembre que supuestamente es uno de los meses de temporada baja debido al clima frío, y era bastante bloody frío con luz llovizna, pero porque estaba justo después de Navidad, el lugar estaba bastante lleno. No me puedo imaginar lo que es durante la temporada alta. Pero si tienes paciencia suficiente, es posible que puedes conseguir fotos de un lugar quieres simplemente por ti mismo.Si tienes paciencia, puede tomar un gran cuadro o dos de la hermosa Celsus Biblioteca dentro de esta antigua ciudad gratis, o casi gratis, de otros viajeros o turistas, pero tienes que ser paciente. Quizás esto es imposible durante la temporada de verano jaja …
Tras la Celsus Biblioteca, podrá caminar a lo largo de la calle de mármol y encontrará algún tipo de construcción/sitio de extracción a la derecha. parece prohibido entrar, obviamente, por razones de seguridad, pero he visto un par de turistas entrar a escondidas y tomar el camino bastante empinada esta estructura prohibida y estoy seguro la vista desde allí es bastante increíble. Si intenta valiente, que no oír desde aquí …
Fui con mis parientes aquí y, como algunos de ellos no son muy aficionados a la historia y están más interesados en los espectaculares paisajes naturales, Éfeso es algo interesante, pero no está tan bien como otras atracciones en Turquía para ellos. la verdad vale a cien porciento todo centavo pagado
The tour of the ruins was quite spectacular and extensive, with a re-enactment of the gladiators at the end of the tour. The ruins were up-close, not roped off, and you could actually touch them! I was especially enamored with the library ruins.
These are the most spectacular ruins that we saw when visiting Turkey. If you visit the country and have limited time, these are the ruins that you should visit. There is a lot to see at these ruins and you should allow several hours. We thought that the entrance was awesome, however there were much better sights as we walked through the place.
We were travelling on a cruise ship with 3 couples and booked a private tour. Our tour guide Yesim was great! She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had. Even though it was very crowded in Ephesus, Yesim seemed to get us to each place before the big crowds arrived! We would definitely recommend this company and tour guide, and Turkey of course!
Everything went very smoothly with the instructor being so relaxed and the day was made even better by the lovely sunny weather with clear skies and wonderful views of the local area.
Excellent. Not the cheapest of tours, but if you really want to see ephesus ancient city ,this is the way to do it. Everything was perfect. the pick-up, the tour, the lunch, and most of all.the guide.
les dejo un pequeno dato que espero les sirva de algo; las personas que viajan a otros paises y a turquia creen que un tour privado es mucho mas caro e incluso el doble mas caro que lo normal pero les informo que eso es un error un tour privado es mucho mas barato… yo coji este tour privado de dia completo y creanme que me salio mucho menos de lo que cuesta viajar con 50 personas…. disfruten de este tour vale la pena
prenne un tour privé de jour complet depuis izmir la vérité a été exelente tout très beau le VEHICULE le Medical et egalement tout ce que vi la basilica le peuple de ?irince a été merveilleux sans aucun doute leur recommande…
thank you for a wonderful tour of ephesus it truly was the best part of my vacation.
Great!
our day trip to ephesus was excellant. We had friends from America with us and they were very impressed with the whole experience. Would recomend to teke the the private tour. Money well spent.
Gunes was an excellent guide for our day, the small group interaction was refreshing. Put this on your list !
Para mi lo mas importante en un viaje es la comodidad, en este tour privado lo encontre y a un nivel mucho mas alto de lo que me esperaba realmente el guia un amor de persona, la pasciencia que nos entrego fue maravillosa y nos explico todo y ademas en espanol ya saben que no en todos los paises se entrega este tipo de servicios pero aca si que la hay y en casi todos los idiomas. Espero sinceramente que algun dia vayan y veran que no se arrepentiran..
Great guides. Great information! Don’t take the cruise line tours they are so expensive!
A private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
A fabulous day! Thank you
Great private day tour. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience with excellent tour guide. One of the favourite private tours of our ephesus trip!
This tour was very interesting and well presented. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable as well as good English speaking. I highly recommend this tour.
la isla de kusadasi es un lugar fenomenal me gusto muchismo el comercio y lo cerca que esta de efeso y la casa de la virgen maria
Small group which makes a difference when visiting a large places and even though small group appreciated the hearing pieces from the group leader.
efeso es la ciudad mas linda del egeo ademas que efeso y la casa de la virgen maria esta bastante cerca aprovechamos para ir de visita a ese lugar tan maravilloso tomamos un tour privado de dia completo y la verdad no nos costo mucho lo pudimos pagar con tarjeta tambien y no nos recargaron ningun tipo de comicion adicional como lo hacen en otros pais la verdad y la honestidad de la agencia hizo que cuando -volvi a mi pais los recomendara a casi todos mis conocidos que me preguntaron como me fue ademas 9tambien deje recomendado a mi guia murat que hablaba bastante bien el castellano me dejo sorprendido con lo bien que lo hacia y ademas ve veia que realmente conoce bien la historai de su pais y por su puesto la region muy agradable todo… 🙂
Done a day trip to ephesus, it really is amazing, and steeped in history. They are still uncovering ruins to this day. It gives you a real insight into time gone by.
Visited as part of our Adriatic & Aegean cruise. Docked in Kusadasi and this provided a short driving tour of the area around the Ephesus site.
Buy one of the books that descibes the site as a helpful resource. The site accepts only Turkish Lira or credit card payments. There is a museum in the adjacent community where many of the original artifacts are housed. The site can become crowded during the peak tourist season and is open air so if it is hot, you’ll be out in the sun the whole time.
This was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide Gokhan was sensational. He provided great wit and information. Ephesus is a enchanting place to visit and will blow you mind. Lunch was really nice at the restaurant too. A real must!
I highly recommend them, you will not regret it.
Travelled to turkey last week and decided to book a private tour for my family, it was excelled. Brilliant sites and ruins, tour guide spoke brilliant English and was a lot of fun.
We booked a private tour of Ephesus from our cruise ship. The tour guide and that air conditioned van made a huge difference.
The trip was very well organized and our guide was excellent. We didn’t have to wait in long lines even though the ephesus was crowded. Our guide was very knowlegable and the little mini-headsets made the tour most enjoyable.
me parece que es un lugar muy lindo me gusto mucho el castillo que estaba 0en frente del puerto efeso es una de las siete maravillas del mundo antiguo algun dia volvere a ir
Ephesus – the city established in 10 BC is a must visit for anyone having an interest in history. What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
The site is surprisingly easy to access from Selcuk (5 km) or Kusadasi (15 km)
Be sure to take ample sun protection and water on the tour since one cannot get anything in the middle of the ruins,
cando tomamos el tour en el puerto de esmirna la verdad no me esperaba tanta atencion nos trataron muy bien el guia y el chofer ademas me di cuenta que todo el mundo alla en turquia es asi compre una botella de agua y te invitan a tomar un te o unas delicias turca que a todo esto realmente son delicias hay miles de sabores…. el guia hablaba muy bien espanol y hasta nos botaba bromas en espanol el chofer no creo que entendiese pero estuvo con una sonrisa todas las horas que estuvimos con el ademas que se preocupaba que el coche estuviese bien temperado nos ayudaba a subir y a bajar ya que somos personas de una edad mas avanzada… en efeso creo que nos demoramos mas de lo que demoran las personas pero como dije somos viejos y apesar de todo el guia fue muy pasiente con nosotros y le agradesere simpre lo que hizo por nosotros en esas pocas horas me fui muy contenta del tour y que bueno que contratamos ese tour privado de efeso y la casa de la virgen maria ademas tambien nos llevo a el templo de artemision o artemisa que estaba tambien a un par de minutos de efeso casi al llegar a pueblo de selcuk luego fuimos a un restourante muy tipico de la region la comida muy buena le pidio a el director del restorante que nos dieran comidas sin sal y cosas asi la atencion fue muy buena en todas partes espero que contraten el mismo tour privado y veran que lo disfrutaran son muy buenos en lo que hacen en mi pais tambien hay turismo pero creo que no estamos tan preparados para resivir a los turistas de esa manera creo que somos mas incapaces de eso pero aca se ganan el dinero con mucho sacrificio y como dije les recomiendo encarecidamente este tour privado de dia completo o de medio dia nosotros con mi marido hicimos los dos en dos epocas diferentes del anho tanto en invierno como en verano la verdad la mejor fue en verano ya que todo esta muy verdecito…. si nada mas que agregar ademas de agradecer todo lo que hicieron por nosotros me despido a la distancia con gran abrazo y un saludo a todos los que hicieron de estas vacaciones inolvidables…
todo salio como lo sonamos yo y mi familia los del tour privado se portaron muy amables con nosotros al igual que nuestra guia fue todo perfecto me gustp mucho efeso y la casa de la virgen maria que estaba a solo unos cuantos minutos de efeso volvere algun dia
Our day went perfectly, our guide was open and flexible to letting us tour at our own pace and we always seemed at least two steps ahead of the large tour groups..
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I am very happy with the choice to take the small group to Ephesus. It was comfortable. A wonderful trip, great ride, nice people. Beware that even on a rainy day (as it was) the crowds are incredible and there are many large tour groups. But a sight to see in any weather. Thank you!
Our tour guide was right on time picking us up directly at the port. My husband and I were part of a total party of 8, perfect for us to enjoy Ephesus without a bus load of people. This is definitely the way to see Ephesus.
We were very pleased with our tour to Ephesus and the Terrace Houses for sure, include this in your tour!! We were concerned because we requested it only about 5 days before we left for our cruise. They responded very quickly and we confirmed the reservation. We also appreciated that we were able to pay after the trip, so we did not have to worry about paying then no one showing up.
we had a great guide with good knowledge and fun.. library and theatre at ephesus was great.. and Virgin Mary House was impressive.. It is a not to be missed atraction in Turkey.thanks all…
We had a wonderful time on our tour of Ephesus and House of Virgin Mary. Our guide, Yesim, was so nice and a very knowledgeable tour guide. There were only 7 of us on the tour and we really had a nice time meeting the other people on our tour.
la verdad creo que lo mejor que he hecho a sido tomar este tour privado de dia completo por efeso aparte vimos la casa de la virgen maria la basilica de san juan el templo de artemisa y tambien comimos muy pero muy bien la comida realmente es maravillosa creo que habre subido un par de kilos mientras estaba en turquia 🙂 el guia que nos recibio al salir del crusero era muy bueno y divertido se llamaba AL? se ve que es una buena persona y tambien bastante conocida en todos los lugares que entramos lo conocian y lo saludaban bien cordialmente el tiempo que pasamos con el fue muy grato,, no puedo dejar pasar tambien que es muy profesional cada lugar de efeso casa esquina de la casa de la virgen maria o de el templo de artemisa fue todo muy bien explicado tan bien que no sentimos la necesidad de preguntar algo recomiendo sin duda alguna a mi guia y a la agencia…
Now I wish ? have book the fullday ephesus tours since it will give you more in dept but again, this company offers top services.
En el momento en que llegamos a Éfeso, habíamos visitado algunas ruinas magníficas por Turquía. Pero habíamos visto nada en la escala de Éfeso. Uno puede imaginarse la vitalidad de la ciudad, la gente realizando sus actividades cotidianas, los niños jugando en las calles.
Esta ciudad era tan vistoso: las esculturas, fuentes, estatuas. La biblioteca es el punto culminante, dominando las ruinas. Por desgracia, el teatro estaba rodeado de alambre, que tardó lejos de la historia. Las letrinas fueron una vista para contemplar.
Caminamos por estas ruinas durante unas horas, y nos alegramos de no haber estado en un grupo grande , ya que parecían ir y venir sin mayor detalle como te lo da el tour privado que contratamos nosotros
Great guides. Great information! Don’t take the cruise line tours, they are so expensive! Save money! Meet fun people!
Highly recommend for his expertise and a positive can do attitude. The shops are generally too small to allow a wheelchair inside, but some goods are displayed outside.
Excellent. Pick up on time. Selcuk our guide, very knowledgeable. Fabulous lunch. Well done.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????,????????????, ??????????.??????????????????????????????????????????,?????????????????????????????????????
An awesome experience that everyone should do in their lifetime! The team was very nice and helpful through it all. The scenery in Rotorua was the most perfect backdrop to skydive.
Thank you very much we really had a great time. Thanks
I’ve been to Ephesus before but have only done the half day tour so really wanted to spend the day there and see more. The tour was well-organised and really nice as we were in a small group which allowed us to ask lots of questions to our guide. I think if you go to Ephesus do the deluxe full day tour so you can see the Terrace Houses and House of Virgin Mary which is fascinating!

We cannot recommend this tour enough. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.

todo magnifico fue impresionante el paseo por efeso y la casa de la virgen maria donde se dice que vivio sus ultimos dias es un lugar bastante espiritual me gusto les doy un diez por la gran lavor que hicieron con nosotros en tan poco tiempo consiguieron que vieramos mucho…..
We used this tour instead of booking a tour through the cruise company. We had a half day tour of the ruins of Ephesus and The Virgin Mary’s house. We were also taken to a carpet maker to see how carpets were made and lunch. The carpet demonstration was interesting however, I did feel uncomfortable not making a purchase.
Those with air sick, please prepare yourself before going on this Microlight tour !
nos recomendaron private tour en nuestro viaje, con mi esposa hemos hecho varios viajes atravez del mundo pero la diferencia la vivimos con ese tour ya que nos entrego todo tipo de comodidaes el auto privado aire acondicionado en eso dias de calor:) y un guia maravilloso, la verdad la recomiendo a ojos cerrados fue uno de los mejores tour que vivi con mi mujer…
There is a lot of walking so this would be a difficult tour for the elderly.
The tour was very reasonably priced compared to those offered by our cruise ship. We really appreciated the personal touch only afforded by a small group tour. I would strongly suggest that anyone traveling to Ephesus. You won’t be disappointed.
We spent the day in Ephesus with our guide Irem. She was excellent! She went with us in to the sites and explained what we were seeing. Turkey is absolutely beautiful and a place I would love to visit again. We toured the ruins in Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary, and the church of St. John. We could have done without the carpet shop and leather factory, but overall the day was perfect. Our lunch was very good and was included in the price of the tour. I would definitely recommend this for those of you with a one day stop in Turkey on a cruise ship.
Small Group Day Trip to Ephesus was one of the highlights of our trip overseas. Having the small group was brilliant, as we didn’t have to wait in queues or line-ups and our driver and guide Selcuk was fantastic. He was very informative, professional and most helpful.
The scenery was breathtaking, enjoyed every minute of it. The Microlight was very comfortable and the scenic flight was great value for money and great friendly and experienced pilot.
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable.
We chose a private guided tour rather than a ship excursion and would highly recommend the deluxe ephesus fullday tour.
EL TOUR PR?VADO DE EFESO DE D?A COMPLETO COMENZO DESDE LA ?SLA DE KUSADAS? NOS REC?B?ERON CON UNA BANDA DE CORTES?A CON MUS?CA T?P?CA DE LA REG?ON Y DEL PA?S FUE MUY BON?TO Y EMOT?VO TODO UNA DE LAS COSAS QUE MAS ME GUSTO FUE LA VAN QUE ERA DE LUJO CON A?RE ACOND?C?ONADO Y EL GU?A TAMB?EN ERA BASTANTE EF?C?ENTE Y HABLABA BASTANTE B?EN EL ESPANOL SE VE QUE ES REALMENTE CONOCEDOR DE LA H?STOR?A DE SU PA?S Y DE LA REG?ON TODO FUE PERFECTO LOS RECOM?ENDO AL C?EN PORC?ENTO
Driver was very friendly and knowledgable
Worth every Penny! Great tour of the entire city in half day. Very courteous staff! Highly recommended! 🙂
Ephesus – the city established in 10 BC is a must visit for anyone having an interest in history. What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
The site is surprisingly easy to access from Selcuk (5 km) or Kusadasi (15 km)
Be sure to take ample sun protection and water on the tour since one cannot get anything in the middle of the ruins,
Yesim was interesting, informative and a wonderful guide. Our entire family enjoyed the day. Yesim made adjustments for our daughter’s unexpected injury and wheelchair. We could not have seen ephesus on our own because of logistics and in hindsight we are glad we booked the day trip. Our three teenagers had fun and we were glad to hear Yesim explanations.
This was well worth the money. Emrah was the bet tour guide. Very professional (he was in a suit) and so very nice and friendly. All in all this was the best tour we did.
Our first ever micro lighting experience and what a place to do it.
We booked the 15min trip which was enough time to get a very different perspective of Ephesus.
Ephesus was magnificant. The guide was on time, This was a good trip.
qué lugar era impresionante y caminar por el sendero de los antiguos, era realmente una gran sensación 🙂 todo maravilloso que bueno que contrate este tour privado aun que sea de medio dia creo que me lo distribuyeron bastante bien 🙂
fue una experiencia buenisima la verdad el tour privado es algo que contratare a todas partes que viaje mi rpimera fue en efeso hise el tour completo y si que fue completo todo perfecto van con aire acondicionado guia en mi idioma y los mas importante comodidad creo que algun dia volvere…
100 % recomendado algun dia volvere y la verdad contratare el mismo tour y si puedo el mismo guia todo genial!!!!
Love it ! Ephesus is simply beautiful. We had no trouble understanding our guide. Lunch wasn’t fantastic but everything else is good!
Without hesitation I can say that our day tour of Ephesus was perfect. I booked a private self chosen tour through private tours. I pre-selected that we would visit Ephesus, the Terrace Houses at Ephesus, the Ephesus Museum, and have lunch. Our group of nine consisted of my in-laws (in their 70’s), my husband and I, and our five children (ages 15,14,12,11,9).Our guide met us at our port in Izmir and directed us to the newest and most comfortable touring van I have ever seen. She shared her tremendous knowledge with us, as well as her love for her country and people.. Ephesus is really worths seeing. Highly recommended!!!
Nous avons eu la chance de visiter cet endroit avec un guide passionné et qui a su tenir en haleine petits et grands avec anecdotes et faits historiques.
Le lieu est superbe, et même si bondé, notre plaisir n’en a pas été gâché. Nous avons été fascinés par la beauté et la magie du lieu. La visite se fait dans le sens de la descente et l’apothéose en est la bibliothèque de Celsius admirablement bien conservée. L’amphithéâtre qui pouvait accueillir jusqu’à 24 000 personnes est à couper le souffle également. Le plus rapidement possible nous en ephèse de nouveau très beau le tour privé et les guides les je recommande sont très bons dans son travail

From the moment our tou guide picked us up at the hotel until she dropped us in the afternoon she was helpful and flexible. It was a great tour planned to accommodate a hot day. Great value for money.
amazing tour we loved it. our guide spoke great english, told us the history of ephesus and artemis also he was able to answer all of our questions he was very helpful at the ephesus and we thoroughly enjoyed the ephesus tour.
Exceeded my expectations. The guide was Emrah, and extremely knowledgeable. This wasn’t someone doing this “gig” for a short time, or until something better came along. He had done it for a number of years and it showed. Incredible tour. Best one of the trip. I couldn’t more highly recommend this tour.
