Pickup Locations & Times
* FOR CRUISE GUESTS / We highly recommend you to meet at port after 30 minutes your ship docked to port in order to 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. * WE GUARANTEE TO GET YOU BACK TO YOUR SHIP ON TIME. 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 too many 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. - In a private tour, you do not have to share your guide and Mercedes Van with many people, because you will have your own van and expert local tour guide.

Our guide Ayse was wonderful- we were a big group of seniors and a baby and she was able to manage and show us everything very efficiently. We had a great time and would recommend organizing a tour with her.
Ayse was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable, so patient, so flexible. She was a joy and we learned so much. We spent the entire day out and could have stayed longer. Ancient Ephesus, house of Mary, pottery, rugs, lunch, Temple of Artemis. A perfect day. Thank you Ayse!
Ayse is the most charming, energetic and knowledgeable guide. She is one of the best guides i have encountered on my travels anywhere. My family loved her. I will recommend her highly to my friends.
Ayse is amazing! We loved our tour in Ephesus!!
