PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR FOR CRUISERS: On-time Return and Skip-Line

Patricia_P, Oct 2026

Great tour, with unexpected sales pitches

Our tour was informative and efficient! Only caveat was that we were taken to a Turkish rug location and leather store and subjected to sales pitches. Neither of these stops were included in the itinerary. Though informative, it felt deceptive that this was not mentioned in advance

A must tour of Ephesus with tour guide Filiz

Our tour guide Filiz greeted us immediately at our meeting point and made us feel welcome. She was very friendly, full of energy and had a vast knowledge of Ephesus which added a whole lot of value to our experience. We totally enjoyed the lunch included in this tour. Filiz gave us a lot of time to take memorable photos to last a lifetime! Thank you Filiz and driver (starting with a letter Y, I forgot his name) for a wonderful tour of Ephesus. We could not have enjoyed it any better without you.

Fantastic

This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Elif, did a fantastic job! She was waiting for us as we left the cruise ship. We loved the small group tour, the wonderfully comfortable transport van, and all the sites visited. Elif is very knowledgeable and personable. We also enjoyed the Turkish lunch! Definitely a good value and a wonderful tour.

Rich in history. Best tour guide!

We had the best day with Urgurcan!! We had a private tour (and separate driver) and learned so much! We got to visit a lot of different places too! Turkey was our 49th country and 6th continent and Urgurcan was THE BEST tour guide we ever had! He was filled with knowledge and shared ever but he had with us! The country is beautiful and filled with history and we are blessed to have visited and picked an amazing tour! Thank you Urgucan!! (We hope to see you again!)

Best way to spend your time in Ephesus!

This was such an amazing experience! It was just my husband and I - so very private and personal. We felt so VIP in the beautiful luxurious van with cold beverages and a fantastic driver and our expert guide, Yusuf, was top notch. The sights were incredible, lunch was delicious, and the carpet weaving demo was exceptional - not every food we feel pressured to purchase one. It so be one of our highlights for sure!! Take this tour if it is still available. 🇮🇹💪🏼👏🏼

Ephesus Tour Longer than we signed up for

We booked what we thought was a 3 hr Ephesus tour. It turned out to be 6 hrs. First of all our guide Peri was excellent and very knowledgeable. But as soon as we got in the van she asked us about going later to view the carpet making and to have a lunch. If it was just my wife and I we would have said no but we were either 2 other couples. Ephesus was incredible. Very busy and crowded. We went to the carpet making after and it was interesting. But then the salespeople come to try and sell you a rug. These rugs aren’t cheap. An 10’x8’ can be $15000 USD. We politely said no. Then we went for lunch and guess what. It’s at the same place as the carpets. It was good and costs $25 USD. I don’t think it was worth it. Then Peri ask to go to the Temple of Artimus. All that it was, is a single column standing there in a field. We were there for 5 minutes plus constantly be asked to buy something from the locals. Then we were asked to stop at a leather store, I thought finally we are going back to the port. We had to watch a 5 minute fashion show then be followed by salespeople to try and buy a $1000USD jacket. We politely said no So finally back to the port. Peri did warn us many times that we are not obligated to buy anything Just be careful what you sign up for Like I said Ephesus was beautiful and Turkey is a nice country. We had a good time but wanted it to be shorter

A wonderful experience in Ephesus Turkey

Kai & Sebastian were excellent guide and driver. Pick up was easy even among the chaos of coming off a cruise ship. They knew how to get ahead of the crowds but we never felt rushed. Kai was knowledgeable and informative on all 3 of our stops (we elected not to see the temple of Artemis.). The lunch was great and traditional. Afterwards we toured the carpet factory sponsored by the government. This was also informative and Kai told us we were not obliged to purchase anything. We had an early All Aboard and the men got us back in time for last minute shopping. Overall I highly recommend this tour.

Marius_S, Sept 2026

Excellent tour with outstanding guide

We had a small group, which made the experience feel like a private tour. Our guide, Eda, was knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke with passion about Ephesus’ past, present, and future, including the ongoing archaeological excavations. We also stopped at the Golden Fringe shop, where we learned about the fascinating art of handwoven carpet making. A great shore excursion and a memorable experience!

Best tour guide EVER!!

Aybike was our guide! She was fantastic!! Very educated and informed about the areas we were visiting. 20 out of 10 recommend her! She enhanced our experience, answered all our questions. This was the start of our vacation and it was fantastic. Could have done without the carpet part, but that food was fabulous and I couldn’t get enough. It was a hot day and was hard to eat but I had seconds and wished I could have taken it home with me!! This IS the tour to take with Aybike if you’re in this area!!

Turkish Hospitality 10/10

Hands down 1st class guide and tour. The Turkish hospitality was incredible. I left my phone at the house of the Virgin Mary and they helped turn a nightmare into a happy ending. Immediately got on the phone with their peers to secure it. Turkey will always have a special place in our hearts. Tour was fantastic and very educating. Our guide spoke incredible english and was wealth of knowledge.
