For Cruisers: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour With Entry Fees & Lunch

Efe Baksi took us on a wonderful tour. I would recommend this tour to others.

Our tour guide Mehmet   and driver hasan were both amazing. Mehmet provided us with so much information and explained everthing during our tour. He was so knowledgeable of everything we went to see that day, especially Ephusus and the Virgin Mary house. Viator picked an excellent tour guide for this tour.

Tour guide was great fun, tour was fantastic tho the leather show and shopping wasn't really much appreciated. All up tho very informative. Just make sure you keep your eye on the time

Great tour operator and guide Punctual, professional, Happy to have chosen this tour Turkey Tours Company Mr Serkan and his team are wonderful We have had in our 22 days trip 4 guides all perfect and great organization. They care to have a good tour and make sure all details are well done under the guidance of Mr Serkan I will go back Again and again for sure with same Company.

Guide friendly and knowledgeable. Obvious ties to business visited. Disingenuous. Told of food allergy months ago, weeks and yesterday. Ignored. One couldn’t eat snack or lunch.

Tay…. He was excellent . Very friendly and knowledgeable. Recommend him and the limo was very clean Air conditioned and roomy!!!!

a very enjoyable day. Ceyda was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. We had a wonderful day. Would highly recommend.

Tay gave us an excellent tour and provided great insight. Highly recommend.

Cem was great very knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed seeing Ephesus, the Turkish lunch, beautiful woven rugs and hand painted ceramic dinnerware.

Cem is very professional , knowledgeable and tour guild. He explains the history and site story in details. He is fabulous and excellent! We would like to see you again and join your tour soon, thank you v m !

Had a wonderful tour experience booked via Viator a few days prior, promptly contacted me to arrange pick up from the cruise port, cem and our driver Hasan was excellent, we had a smooth and in depth tour to house of Mary, Ephesus and he brought us to a few local shops to browse artisanal products, everything was really expensive but there was no hard selling, included lunch was wonderful and filling and lots of bathroom stops along the way. Would recommend for a day trip to see kusadasi!

The trip was a joy. Ephesus was an unexpected treasure. Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and very accommodating. I recommend this trip to all.

Volha did an awesome job. We loved it

The day was brilliant! Really informative and entertaining. Our guide was absolutely wonderful - Volha you are so very knowledgeable.

Aybi (I hope I am remembering the name correctly) was exceptional. We learned so much about the history, the site. She managed to keep track of all of us (I think there were 8 of us in total) and give us enough time to take our pictures and explore Ephesus while also giving us so much knowledge. We loved the lunch and it was really cool to see the rug-making. While we enjoyed the stop at a local store to sample the many delicious goods there, the prices were WAY over-marked (triple or more what we later found in Istanbul) so I would leave that stop out or add in a stop that is more affordable on pricing. Overall this was an incredible tour and we were so glad to have booked it rather than take the cruise ship's larger more impersonal excursion.

Very worth the time and money. Aybi was exceptional. We learned so much about the history of the sites we visited. She managed to keep track of all 8 of us and give us plenty of time to enjoy the area, take pictures, etc while also teaching us along the way. We loved the lunch and it was really cool to see the rug making process, although they do try hard to get you to buy. There was a stop at a local store to sample many delicious goods, but the prices were WAY over marked, very much a rip off (3-4 times the prices of what we found same goods for in Istanbul a couple days later), so I would suggest leaving that stop out or adding a store with more affordable pricing. Overall though, highly recommend this tour and we were so glad to have booked it rather than a ship excursion which would have been large and impersonal.

Really liked the tour, we enjoyed the sights. Pick up from the cruise was easy and the tour guide was super nice and clearly knew a lot. He made the tour fun.

A wonderful day spent a very knowledgeable guide. This private tour was packed filled with adventure and interesting stories. They were on time and make us feel welcomed and safe.

wonderful city of esepheus berkay cakir

Start to finish, I had an amazing time! Props to our tour guide Berkay for being accommodating at all times and being highly informative.

Berkcay is a very entertaining guide, definitely we will hire him again when we comeback or refer him to our friends who will take the Mediterranean cruise.

Our tour guide is very good, he is very knowledgeable and well recommended. His name is Berkay

We had a really fun time with our tour guide Tek. He explained everything really well and answered my questions perfectly. It was 40 euros for a person to enter the region and the tour lasted 2 and a half hours.

Great experience and we enjoyed our time!

Volha was outstanding and very knowledgeable about the history of our tour of Ephesus and surrounding areas and places of Art and Culture! Highly recommend this Tour and guide. Our group was small and recommend that you go in a small group we had 6 in our group. Driver was very safe in driving and our security. The Turkish people were very friendly and spoke good English!

Informative , excellent timing . Got to see places (ceramic market- Kirkland fashion) we ordinarily wouldn’t see. Small group of 6 was perfect!!

Trip was great, Hande was an amazing guide, who was very informative about the history, and an easy going nature.

Ephesus is so beautiful, I'm glad we booked with Turkey Tours as it made seeing everything easier. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we went to the sites during the times when it would have less people, as there were at least 2 cruise ships docked on that day, making the places very packed.

Berkay was an excellent guide with an amazing depth of historical knowledge. He took us to some of the most amazing places. We throughly enjoyed our time with Berkay.

Visited Ephesus and other cultural sites, very informative guide Cemal, and great lunch!

Terrific time well spent with knowledgeable guide, Gem. Not only the ancient sites, but for local arts.

What a wonderful way to spend the day learning all about the local culture. Great tour and excellent tour guide and driver. Very well thought out and nice stops.

A very enjoyable day out with Taylan as our guide. He explained everything to us. Ephesus was very interesting and we could choose different options according to how long we wanted to walk. We learnt a lot. It was a memorable day.

This was the best tour I have ever been on. Volga was incredible! She was so knowledgeable, accommodating, sweet, and wonderful!! We would tour with ANY TIME or ANYWHERE! She is the best!

Our tour guide Ceyda Zengin was great. Very knowledgeable. Very small group (3) so much better than the large cruise ships. Visited all the sites and more Highly recommended.

Our tour guide Ceyda was so knowledgeable and friendly and made visiting the Terrace Houses a very special experience.

Ephesus was incredible. We had no idea we would have a driver and tour guide to ourselves. We really enjoyed our guide, Taylan. He was friendly as well as informative, and made sure we saw everything we needed to see. All the stops felt very special, opening our eyes to a fascinating history and culture.

If you are looking for a private tour and an amazing and beautiful experience, than I highly recommend you book this tour. The price for the tour was very reasonable. Our tour guide, Eda, was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable in the Ephesus culture and she ensured we had adequate time to visit all the city sites and still had time for shopping.

Volha was fantastic. Learned a lot about the area and got to experience the sights of Turkey.

Had a great time with l Volha . She showed us a lot of great places. Had a very tasty breakfast sandwich. Had a very nice authentic lunch. We were able to purchase adult beverages. Ephesus was very interesting and van was very spacious.

Our guide Volha was amazing and very knowledgeable For our first visit we covered so many sights

We covered a lot on our trip from Pottery, Ephesus, Turkish Rugs, etc. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable!

Our guide Aybi was excellent! She was informative and friendly. Very enjoyable tour.

AYBI was an amazing tour guide and provided so much details about Ephesus, the House of Mary and the Temple of Artemis. I highly recommend her! She took so many photos of us too! We enjoyed the Turkish food and seeing how the Turkish carpets are made as well.

Ceyda was wonderful, very knowledgeable and great English, very charming!

Selcuk is a good man ans he knows the history by heart. He explained so well that i felt i was living at the time of the Romans. He takes care very well his guests.

Our guide Berkay was very knowledgeable of everything for the tour. We did not feel rushed going from location to location. Our highlight of the experience was Ephesus. During this time, Berkay, explained all of Ephesus to us and took his time in each location. This has been a highlight of our trip!

Berkay was a wonderful tour guide! Very knowledgeable, welcoming and kind. We really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone.

Our tour guide Cemal was very knowledgeable, explaining every detail to the various sites we visited. He answered all the questions we had and I highly recommend him.
