Ephesus is an exceptional testimony to the cultural traditions of the Hellenistic, Roman Imperial and early Christian periods. Ephesus is an important site for Christianity; being one of the seven Churches of Revelation. Apostle Paul probably spent two and half years in Ephesus during his third missionary journey. It will take about 2 hours to discover Ephesus Ancient City by walking on the marble streets, accompanied by our English speaking tour guide. The site has two entrances; as it is slightly downhill, it is a better idea to start from the upper gate. In our tour, we will be seeing Odeon, State Agora, Prytaneion, Memmius Monument, Domatian Temple, Hercules Gate, Curetes Street, Hadrian Temple, Latriens and Private House (so called Brothel, 'Terrace Houses') Celsus Library, Marble Road, Commercial Agora, Great Theater, and Arcadine (Harbour Road).
Terrace Houses in Ephesus on the Curetes street belonged to prominent people of the city. They are dated back to 1C AD and some were inhabited up to 7C AD. They were luxirious private houses with mosaic floors, fountains and central heating.
we will carry on with Ephesus Museum, which consists of six chambers exhibiting collections from the ruins. Especially, the marble statues of Goddess of Artemis are to be seen; one from 1st century AD and the other from the 2nd century AD.
We will carry on with Temple of Artemis; which is one of the Seven Wonders of antiquity. In our visit, you will have a chance to take good photographs of Church of St. John and Mosque of Isa Bey from the best angle.
Alp was extremely knowledgable, professional and friendly throughout the day. He took us to some great cultural spots as well as local craft stores where we learnt a lot more about long standing traditions and where we saw beautifully crafted goods. Thank you so much Alp we highly recommend you to anyone visiting Kusadasi! 😁
Nizam is an excellent guide full of knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed spending our day with him and our excellent driver Ali. Saw hidden gems of Ephesus and shopped at the best places!! HIGHLY recommend this private tour
Loved working with Gul! Great guide and a great experience! We had a wonderful tour with Gul!! She was SO knowledgeable and very personalized. She gave us time to wander on our own and answered questions. She was great with our teenage kids and very engaging. 5 stars!
Gul was absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable and fun and helpful. Very good experience for family of 6. Ephesus was remarkable and lunch spot was fabulous
Guray was an excellent guide. We had a large air conditioned van for the five of us, and Guray went at our pace - it was very hot for our young daughters and he was flexible to move things along to suit our needs. Ephesus is incredible and Guray gave us a good overview of the history. The immersive museum at Ephesus is a must-do, kids loved it. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our private tour with Gul very much. We especially enjoyed the fact that we did the tour at our own pace. We highly recommend that you ask for her on the future. Her English is impeccable as are her explanations of history and of modern Turkey.
Gul was an amazing guide! My family and I enjoyed her cheerful nature, and she went above and beyond to let us through to attend Mass at House of Mary, had delicious local Turkish food with Turkish tea and Turkish coffee, plus the stop at the Payless Outlet leather store was the cherry on top! We will definitely do this tour again. You won’t regret booking this tour!!
Having already visited Ephesus, we focused instead on the Basilica of St. John, the Selcuk fortress, the archeological museum and the Temple of Artemis. Our guide Volkan was superb: he offered so much information not only about the monuments but also about the area generally.
Excellent! Genzki is very helpful and telling us the full history in our journey. Our lunch at the beach side is pleasant and relaxing.
Our private group started at the cruise terminal, 9:00 to 4:00, all the important spots went, pick up the car, didn't get very tired, packed lunch in between, to give special credit to the guide. Gul, friendly and patient, big push.
Excellent excursion with an excellent guide Volkan BUGDAYEKEN . Ephesus is a visit not to be missed. You can request a French guide . They brought us to see the making of carpets and offered dinner and tea. There were 4 of us with our guide and driver. I recommend this excursion.
A great tour guide, Gül was very nice, competent, explained everything in a friendly and understandable way. I would recommend it to everyone, it's worth the money. No beating around the bush, just the most important things explained.
It was a wonderful tour. We had a lot of fun. Our tour guide Gül did a great job and showed and explained everything to us.
Gul's visit, hospitality and expertise were perfect. We recommend everyone to have this wonderful experience with them, because they are very helpful and kind. Excellent value for money, as we did a tour alone with our guide Gul who was kind and very good.
