Skip-the-line Best Of Ephesus Tour From Port For Cruisers

It was a great tour. They provided lunch as well. Tour guide was professional, knowledgeable and definitely patient. Her name was Ayby. It was an all day tour! We got back just in time for the cruise.

Our tour experience was amazing! We were picked up by professional driver and guide directly after getting off our cruise, our guide was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of the city, took us on a unforgettable walking tour and showed us all the hidden photo spots definitely recommend this tour and our guide Adam!

amazing trip to ephesus! Erdem (Adam) was very informative, efficient and super knowledgeable. guide also brought cat food and it was cute seeing them with the ruin backdrop. overall paced well and saw it all. opted for the terrace houses which was great.

Adam was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable of all the sites and history. Very accommodating if you wanted to alter the planned tour.

This was a typical private tour. On the positive side, we had a very knowledgeable and charismatic tour guide who did an excellent job showing us Ephesus and traveled by a private van which outpaced the cruisers and avoided their long lines. On the negative side we had two side quests that involved unneeded sales stops. The provided lunch was actually good. The price was right and saved a hundreds compared to what the cruise was offering. We only paid $12 so it was easier to tolerate the sales stops. We did not buy anything.

Fun day and outstanding value. Ceyda and driver picked us up at the cruise terminal and provided insightful commentary throughout the journey from Kusadasi port to Ephesus and back, with short interludes to a ceramic and carpet shop -- no pressure-filled sales pitch. Really appreciated being able to tailor the tour per our request, like skipping lunch, as well as offering us options for the full (versus abbreviated) treks through Ephesus. Ceyda was professional and helpful in providing us time for photos and breaks, as well as pointing out where to avoid slippery marble and find shade from the sun. Keeping us informed along the way as to where we were headed. It was an immense convenience having our own private driver/van dropping and picking us just steps from the park entrance/exit, without having to double back through the uphill ruins. As well as being able to leave hats and jackets in the vehicle as needed. Thank you Ceyda and Turkey Tours!

Detailed and excited about the history. Amazing knowledge and superior awareness of the historic site. Cannot recommend enough! She and the driver were super!

Had an amazing time in Ephesus with Erdem! We visited the House of the Virgin Mary, a mosque, and the Temple of Artemis as well. Erdem was a tremendous guide and knew so much about the sites we visited.

Had a wonderful day on the tour. Our guide Erdem made the tour more special with his hospitality, had detailed knowledge about the place and it's history. I would highly recommend.

We came to kuşadası for the first time, and booked our tour with Erdem and genuinely it was our best decision. It was like best tour with best company.♥️ He took great of us. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Erdam was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide. I really enjoyed my walk around ephesus and heading the history behind the city really added some colour! He also stopped at a local shop where we could try/buy some delicious Turkish Delight. I couldn't recommend this experience enough.

İ found this trip agency via TripAdvisor because their good comments i saw. İ read Maybe 7-8 of them, was enough for me and i booked it. We were a group of 10.when they came tl pick us UP they were on time. From other botels We picked more guests. We started first with ephesus because in the afternoon it would be Hot so our super guide erdem decided to go first ro ephesus. One of the Best preserved historical cities. The library was breathtaking where We also did the group picture. There are lot of cats There. They are taking care by the aniamal lover guides and security. After ephesus We went to lunch than to the house of virgin Mary. Where she is believed to live becore she passed away. After We had a leather factory visit. My husband was happy with that. Bought 2 jackets There, We had a Quick visit ro a mosque and as Last the ruins of the Temple of Artemis... Thank you very much to our guide erdem to make the tour funny and educational. He teached us a lot about the ancient life...

This tour was wonderful on all accounts, especially the tour guide Mr. Umut Kurt who is knowledgable and kind. He is so passionate about his work that we thought lucky for the day to have him as our guide. Of course, Ephesus was impressive and great to visit.

The Ephasus tour we had was amazing the guide who is with us that day is very good and helpful. I recommend this trip. It was informative and fun trip.

From pickup to dropoff we were treated like royalty. Our guide Bariş was so attentive to our needs and had tons of information to share. We saw so many wonderful sights, ate delicious food, bought meaningful gifts, and made new friends. We cannot believe how much we saw in just one day. We have taken many tours but this is definitely one of the best!

We had a wonderful day with Baris guiding us around in Kusadasi - Ephesus area. Small group, we shared the van with another couple which was perfectly fine. Vehicle was super clean, well maintained, A/C works (it is an important element...!) Baris was our tour guide who came to pick us up from our hotel right on time to the minute. (very much appreciated) he truly has a superior knowledge, knows what 'tourism' is. Ever in Kusadasi - Ephesus area, look for these guyz, they are the best in business.

The tour was great and very thorough! A lot of negative reviews for other tours mentioned a lot of time spent taking the tourists to shops and pressuring them to buy. But our tour guide, Baris, was not like that at all. He upfront told us that the shopping stops were optional and asked us which ones we wanted to go to. Baris was very knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions throughout the tour. He is also vaccinated which made us feel much more comfortable in this pandemic! He stayed 2 hours extra then what was planned so that we could go at our own pace. Overall, a great experience!

We had an amazing tour today with Baris. It was a small group which was nice, and Baris was on top of all the COVID precautions (such as spraying our hands with sanitizer before and after each stop). He had deep knowledge of all the spots we saw and is very fluent in English, so my wife and I had no issues understanding and learning everything. Baris also went above and beyond, staying an extra 2 hours (!!) to take us to Sirince and show us more of Ephesus. I highly recommend him and we are very pleased with this tour.

Baris had an excellent manner of communication, it was very easy to have a conversation with him. He had sound knowledge of all the places we visited so we knew what was happening.

Great tour with BARIS! Very knowledgeable guide, vivid precautions were taken and very clean! We enjoyed our sit down lunch as well.

I travelled to kusadasi on 12th September and I booked 6 tours with Turkey tours and I cannot fault them. I booked the Turkish baths, scuba diving, jet skiing, parasailing, quad safari and ephesus tour. My favourite tour was the diving the company was great they took their time and were so patient with me. The organisers were great when I wanted to change some of the excursion dates it was not a problem. Its a great family company and I couldnt recommended them more. I would definitely use them again. They are centrally based in kusadasi and very easy to find. Efa was great and answered any questions or concerns I had he was a lovely person. I only have good things to say. The boat trip to the national park was breath taking i would highly recommend.

It was a wonderful trip for us. Transportation, a very friendly and a very wise guide for the ephesus. Thank you for all organization to Serkan. He is the man!!! We will join Pamukkale and Cappadocia next time. See you soon...

I was with my girlfriend a month ago on a daytrip with this company and we had a great day out there in Turkye, also a good guide and company...i left something on the coach at the end, but after a phonecall i got it back the day after👍👍👍

Our guide, Gamgam, was very kind and pleasant. The visit to the site of Ephesus is truly remarkable.

Just phenommal! The price-performance ratio cannot be outbid. Driver and guide were very friendly, helpful. Also the visited companies /ceramics, jewelry / were very interesting, without purchase compulsion. Lunch included. Thanks for the program!!!

History or history, visibility or visibility...It was my pleasure to tour one of our country’s most extraordinary gems and know about it. From the start of our tour to the end of it (09.00 - 16.30 p.m.).We had dinner at the AGora restaurant. We were impressed by the narration by our guide to ragmen, the artemis-like gem. A place where it’s impossible to describe Efes. Beautiful place with library and theater. I really hope everyone is here!
