    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. 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.

    Great service and wonderful tour
    EveandHelen_M
    , May 2022
    We had a wonderful day with Isik (our tour guide) and Solomon (our driver). They were both very attentive and considerate, especially as one of our party was in a wheelchair. Isik saw to our every need. She is extremely knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. We saw Mary’s House, Ephesus, carpet making and had a delicious lunch. A perfect day for us all and a highlight to our holiday. Thank you Isik and Solomon for an amazing experience.

    Marziye is a great guide

    , Apr 2022
    Marziye was great. She knew her stuff about the sites we visited. She also seemed to know everyone in town and every other guide! She was prompt at the cruise port to start our tour just after 7 am. Her driver (Nick named Solo was also professional). She has very good English and good communication skills. Professional all around. Highly recommend both tour team members. Amazing thing was we only booked the tour at 7pm the night before we arrived. Easy texts and e/mail established contact with each other within 15 mins of booking. Very simple and easy.

    Mehmet was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable about Mary’s house and the ancient city of Ephesus. He allowed us to go at our own pace and spend as much, or as little, time at each location as we wanted.
