Tour of Ephesus for cruisers.

Fatima was great. She was full of knowledge and flexible in how we approached the tour to beat the “traffic”. The lunch spot was very good and the rug making demo was excellent. They were not pushy to sell as some have experienced. We were with a cruise line and she got us back within plenty of time.

Amazing Tour to Ephesus

We had a wonderful experience on our Ephesus tour through Viator. Our guide, Taylan, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the entire tour. The van was comfortable and had excellent air conditioning, which made the journey very pleasant. Taylan also kindly helped us take some great photos and made sure we had a memorable experience. Everything was very well organized, and we felt comfortable and well taken care of from beginning to end. I highly recommend this tour and especially Taylan as a guide. Thank you, Taylan, for a fantastic day in Ephesus!

One of the best trips. especially for cruisers.

Eren has been absolutely amazing and has gone above and beyond to make our experience special. He’s taken us to extra stops, shown us places we never would have discovered on our own, and really gone the extra mile to make sure we’re having a great time. Nothing feels rushed or overly touristy—it feels personal and genuine. This experience has honestly been so much better than the typical cruise excursions. Having Eren show us around has allowed us to see and experience so much more. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and clearly cares about giving his guests the best possible experience. If you have the opportunity to tour with Eren, I highly recommend it!

Kaya was awesome!

What a day! Kaya was an incredible guide of the history of this beautiful country. We had a great day with his enthusiasm for the history of this ancient land. For the future you should ask them to skip the rug tour unless you’re really in the market. It was not a good use of precious time IMO.

Kusidasi , one day trip from cruise.

Very well, organized, and managed tour.. Cayda was very well informed of ancient history as well as modern issues. This gave us a great 360 tour as a keen student of history. This was greatly appreciated. They also got us back with plenty of time to return to the cruise ship and do a little shopping in the town.

High quality Ephesus tour (Emra was a fantastic tour guide)

This tour exceeded our expectations for a biblical tour of Ephesus. The transportation and driver was excellent. We did not wait anywhere. Emra is really an exceptional tour guide, he knows all the good things to tell about, listens to questions well, and also has a great sense of humor!

ALL INCLUSIVE Private Ephesus & The House of Mary & Turkish LUNCH

Chris_P, Jul 2026

Nejdet did a great job for us!

We had a great experience with our driver and guide, Nejdet. Our guide was very informative and did an outstanding job explaining and showing us the historical sites in Turkey such as the Library and House of Mary. He honestly gave us more time than we paid for and we never felt rushed... actually quite the opposite. We finished with an incredible Turkish meal and then gained an understanding of the handmaking rug process which we all found fascinating. I will say that the rug presentation ends with somewhat of a "timeshare" type sales experience (for those that are familiar with timeshare sales in the US). Regardless though the rugs are incredible and we we were all glad to get to experience the presentation while having beer and Turkish coffee. We were also presented with a short sales presentation on Zultanite. A stone I had never heard of. Nejdet made it clear to just say "no" if we weren't interested (which we did). After getting back on the ship, we heard several stories of this nature with the rug sales experience. It seems most all tours/excursions lead back to a rug sales presentation. The fellow presenting the rugs was always nice and respectful and I've always been in and around sales so if didn't make me uncomfortable but some of our fellow cruise guests, on other tours NOT this one, were upset about. I just think it is good to know going in and I have a hunch that there is some type of kickbacks going on to tour operators or at the very least they provide the free lunch there provided you take the tour. In the end this was a 5 star experience and i would enjoy a future tour with Nejdet.

Feyzullah Is the best tour guide!

Feyzullah our guide was so knowledgeable about all the history of Ephesus and the House of Mary . He explained everything in great detail , even pointing out on a large map places of significance. His love of his country and of its history was very apparent. Ask for him if you want a genuine experience rich in history from a guide who truly loves his job.
