FOR CRUISE GUESTS / We highly recommend you to meet at port after 30 / 45 minutes your ship docked to port in order beat crowds / school buses and hot weather in the afternoon. It is better to meet early to have a better tour in Ephesus before the crowds. THIS TOUR IS FOR CRUISE GUESTS ONLY. IF YOU ARE NOT FROM A CRUISE SHIP, PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR AND CHECK OUR OTHER TOUR OPTIONS Some Advantages of Our Private Tours Instead of Group Bus Tours - It might be your first and only one time in Ephesus. Do not lose this opportunity that may come once in your life time. - You do not have to stop your tour if one fellow gets ill or fell down in big groups in the ruins. Because, the guide of the big groups has to care with this person. Your tour will come unbearable although it might be your only day in Turkey. - With a large group, you are dependent to their schedule. But in a private tour, you do not have to follow any of the program, you decide what you would like to see, when you want to start and conclude your tour. Because this is your own private tour, you are the boss and you decide to everything. - In large groups, sometimes tour guides skip the most interesting details in a sight because it might be impossible to show it to everyone in a large group. - In a private tour, you do not have to wait all the group with about 30-40 people who have different interests, try to take a picture of everything and usually stay behind the group. - If you can not hear the guide in a large group or you fall behind because the pace is too fast, you are just out of luck. - In a private tour, while visiting the ruins you do not wait for a long time in lines to get ticket or get into the ruins or museums. Because your private tour guide will make everything ready for you. - You can spend your time in Ephesus and other sites as much as you wished, we do not give rushed tours.

Traveller reviews
Gokum was the absolute best guide.
Ephasis is amazing, and Ibo knows so much history. He was eager to share his culture. He was very helpful to me because I was having trouble walking. I highly recommend asking for Ibo!
Tamer was phenomenal as a tour guide. English was great and his knowledge was superb! We were so tired from the past few days excursions so we were worried about a long day and super long lines. Tamer get us past most of the lines and knew the timing of heavy crowds. Definitely recommend the tour and ask for Tamer.
Fatih & his driver were excellent tour guides. Fatih was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We all had a fantastic time & were returned to cruise port in ample time.
The guide was knowledgeable. However, we were led to believe the leather and rug places would be the best deals. They were not. The vendors by the port were less expensive. The leather jacket I purchased would have been over 100 euros less.
We enjoyed the tour, and had a knowledge guide. She was very flexible. The only thing we didn’t like was we felt a bit forced into the shopping. With that said we would use this company again, just make it clear if you don’t want to shop.
It was a wonderful experience, we loved seeing the ruins. Our Guide Emma was fabulous, very knowledgeable and pleasant. We ate a delicious lunch and went to a workshop to see how carpets are made which was amazing to see.
Murat was an amazing Tour Guide! Informative, patient, friendly, respectful and tailored the tour to our personal interests. If you want to see the historical sites of Ephesus and learn about them also, this is the tour to go on.
