67 contributions What a remarkable adventure! After several cruise excursions with large groups, this private tour was a refreshing divergence. I highly recommend it for those who cherish touring at their own pace instead of the sluggish rhythm of group outings. It is safe, straightforward, and more economical than ship excursions with varied attractions. Our GUIDE NAFIA - warm, insightful, experienced, fluent in English, simply exceptional! She greeted us with a smile and took us on a delightful private journey. Throughout the tour, she shared historical, cultural, relevant, and even humorous insights. Nafia ensured we avoided crowds to capture the best views and photographs, highlighting many intriguing aspects along the way. A highly professional and extraordinary guide! She even adjusted the itinerary on the fly to align with our interests. Our VAN and DRIVER Moses - a private van with air conditioning, stocked with cold water and beverages, comfortable and very secure with a courteous driver. Our TOUR - We arranged a customized expedition that included: 1- the ancient city of Ephesus (ASTOUNDING) and the Terrace Houses; 2- the Basilica of St. John; 3- the House of the Virgin Mary (truly moving); and 4- the Temple of Artemis. We also visited a charming ceramic shop for a personal, pressure-free tour and enjoyed Turkish coffee. Lunch was included in the package, and Nafia expertly guided us through a delightful dining experience. A brief stop at a carpet factory followed before we returned to the port. Other shopping or factory visits were also open to us. Online booking and reservations - It was remarkably straightforward to browse their options and secure a tour. We even had to change our schedule four days prior to the cruise, and they accommodated everything seamlessly. I would wholeheartedly endorse Ephesus tours. Sandy S ,Ocala, FL🇺🇸
