Pickup Locations & Times

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. THIS TOUR IS FOR CRUISE GUESTS ONLY. IF YOU ARE NOT FROM A CRUISE SHIP, PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR AND CHECK OUR OTHER TOUR OPTIONS ⛔️ GROUP TOURS force you to follow fixed schedules and visit places based on their timing, regardless of your interests! You’re stuck with fast and slow travelers alike, having to keep up with the group. Plus, you have to pay all ENTRY FEES IN ADVANCE, whether you're interested in the sites or not. Why pay for places you don't want to visit and feel obligated to go just because you paid? ⛔️ ⚠️ Our PRIVATE TOURS give you the flexibility you need. Entry fees are not included, so you only pay for the places that genuinely interest you. In the morning, we discuss your interests and tailor the itinerary accordingly. ⚠️ ✳️ With our PRIVATE TOURS, you have complete control, visiting only the places you want to see. Would you rather spend your day WAITING FOR OTHER TRAVELERS and FOLLOWING A FIXED ITINERARY, or ENJOY A PRIVATE TOUR CUSTOMIZED JUST FOR YOUR FAMILY? The choice is yours! ✳️ FOR CRUISE GUESTS We recommend meeting at the port 30 to 45 minutes after your ship docks. This will help you avoid crowds, school buses, and the afternoon heat. Starting early ensures a more enjoyable tour of Ephesus. WE GUARANTEE TO RETURN YOU TO YOUR SHIP ON TIME. Advantages of Our Private Tours Compared to Group Bus Tours Visiting Ephesus might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Make the most of it without missing out. In large groups, if someone falls ill or has an accident, the entire tour may be delayed as the guide attends to them. This can disrupt your experience, especially if it's your only day in Turkey. Large group tours adhere to a strict schedule. With a private tour, you have the flexibility to choose what you want to see and when, allowing for a personalized experience. Group tours often skip fascinating details due to time constraints and the difficulty of managing large crowds. In private tours, you won't be held up by others taking pictures or lagging behind. The pace is set according to your preferences. Hearing the guide in large groups can be challenging, and keeping up with the group's pace may be difficult. In a private tour, these issues are eliminated. Private tours eliminate long waits in lines for tickets or entry to sites, as your guide will have everything prepared in advance. Enjoy the comfort of a private Mercedes van and the full attention of an expert local guide, without having to share with a large group. Stores to visit: Carpet Weaving Village Leather Factory

Loved this tour—the village for wine tasting really was icing on the cake

Our guide, Arzu, was absolutely fantastic. She gave us great information about the region, wonderful guide with Ephesus (which you definitely need, IMO), and helpful info about the area and shopping. The stop in the village was a real treat the other tours didn’t do—beautiful scene, nice wine tasting, and we also stopped for a morning coffee as we had time. It was a delight. I would recommend Arzu to anyone heading to Kusadasi!
