Private Ephesus and House of Virgin Mary Tour from Kusadasi Port / Hotels

Our guide Bilal was fantastic- very informative, knowledgeable, fun, and helpful for all day in Ephesus. We had a great time- everything was finely tuned with our interests. From the pick up point to the dropping us off at our hotel all was very pleasant and awesome. I highly recommend Bilal for any tours in Turkey 🇹🇷

We will definitely come back and ask for his services before we get here - Thank you ☺️ so much 🙏🏻🤩👍

Excellent tour. We were impressed by the tour sites selection and even more so by Bilal, our licensed tour guide. Bilal is very knowledgeable, friendly and a great communicator. We requested to visit some ‘local’ shops , including a rug, a leather, and a ceramics shop. All had really nice service, quality items and very good prices. We had gone to other shops in Capadoccia and the prices there were significantly higher. Bilal has a nation-wide license so we plan to organize a tour with him in the future. Highly recommended.

I have taken my parents for a short trip to Turkey and I'm glad we had Yesra as our tour guide, She is very professional and knowledgeable, we visited house of Mary, Ephesus, Basilica St jhon, Temple of Artemis and others.. I can say this was one of the best experiences we have had, my parents and I are very happy, with how everything was organised and taken care of.

The tour is very easy and for everyone,

short walks, nothing extreme, so we highly recommend to do it, even better if you have Yesra as your tour guide.

Our group of seven people toured Ephesus from the cruise ship. The tour guide Çetin Doğan is knowledgeable and very helpful. He came with the driver to pick up us earlier than we expected. He explained things clearly and answered our questions patiently. He treated us lunch and took us to extra locations. We are very happy and strongly recommend Çetin to other tourists.

Canan Aydin was our tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable but even more importantly she was thoughtful and kind. I wish we had more time. The tour was wonderful. The driver was excellent. He was right there. Almost zero waiting time. Excellent Excellent!!

We had an excellent tour - Bonjou was very knowledgeable and an excellent host - we very much enjoyed Ephesus and especially the terraced houses - amazing! Fabulous tour!

Ismail took us on an awesome private tour through the Ephesus, the basilica of St John and the church of Mary. Along with super interesting archaeological and historical facts and sights which he showed us and explained, we opted for a Biblical Ephesus tour, and so he did an excellent job of explaining the Biblical history and significance of each of the sights . His excellent humour and local connection also meant we could share are Turkish tea before Ephesus, and we were also able to enjoy an excellent lunch along the way. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a personalised and experienced guide and want to learn and be struck by the pages of Scripture coming to life on the streets and in the ruins of the area.

The most incredible, eye opening, biblical tour of Ephesus with Ismail. We spent a wonderful day together getting a deeper history of this historical landscape and felt so looked after in the personal care of Ismail. He’s so thorough and knowledgable. I’d recommend this to anyone who’s interested in ancient history and the Bible

Yesra was my guide and we had a wonderful day exploring the many wonders around the site of Ephesus. The tour includes all important sites and everything well arranged. Yesra is the perfect guide, who is super friendly, attentive to your needs, very professional and above all passionate about the history of this wonderful site. She offered clear guidance and explanations of the history from the Kingdom of Lydia through Christianity until the Muslim conquest while visiting the relative sites/looking at the artefacts. It's a very large site to explore, and it's highly recommended to hire a guide like Yesra and trust me this will be the absolute highlight of your time in Turkey ☺️

I could not express how satisfied we were with our private tour. It was absolutely amazing and a perfect day.

Hopefully, when you book, you will be fortunate enough to have Cetin as your guide like we did. He was phenomenal. He was extremely knowledgeable of the sites we visited and well versed in the religions of the area at the time in history.

He was able to answer all of our questions as well as point out important facts that made the tour so much more enjoyable.

Cetin managed the tour flawlessly, both in content and time management.

He took us to the sights that would be least crowded so that we would be able to get into those sites with little or no waiting and later on when the crowds were leaving the heavily visited morning sites, we went back and again, had very little if any wait time at all.

We always felt perfectly safe with him and that he had our best interest at heart through out the tour. He ensured we had as much time as we needed at each site and we're very easily able to see everything we had wanted to see and more.

Plus he was a great photographer and took many great photos of me and my fiance that will always remind us of this wonderful trip.

It was great to have such a warm,kind, knowledgeable tour guide, who patiently cared about his clients and had a tremendous passion for history. It made a real difference. Thank you again Cetin for a perfect experience. We hope to take more tours with you when we return to Turkey.
