- Ancient City of Ephesus - The Ancient City of Ephesus is one of the best-preserved Roman cities globally.

Saint Paul preached here, and it is mentioned several times in the New Testament. It is a popular destination for cruise guests.

It is thought that Mary came to the area with Saint John, who spent several years in Ephesus spreading Christianity. The site is still active for worship and was declared a shrine for Christians. It has been visited by three Popes: Paul VI in 1967, John Paul II in 1979, and Benedict XVI in 2006.

Awesome day in Ephesus with Andrew our private guide! - Had the best day/tour with Andrew! Picked us up at the Izmir port and toured us through Ephesus and surrounding sites, and ended with a fantastic local lunch and demonstration of handmade rugs. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable about everything and had great explanations and answers to our many questions. My Mom requires a cane and/or wheelchair, and he was very patient and accommodating. Highly recommended instead of the cruise excursion.

Our Ephesus Private Tour Far Exceeded Our Expectations - Our Ephesus Private Tour far exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Ceyda was beyond amazing. She explained so much to us throughout the entire tour and often asked if we had any questions. She also suggested an amazing local place to eat and shop. Ceyda, thank you for being so wonderful. Because of you, our tour was beyond enjoyable. We sincerely appreciate you.

Definitely book this to enjoy Turkey - Our driver Mett was the BEST. He waited for us to get off the ship and was so super nice. He asked us what we wanted to see and took us immediately so we would beat the crowds and skip the lines. He was super knowledgeable and gave us so much great history. He was so good he even had our teens attention. After seeing the sights he suggested a place to eat with delicious traditional food and we got to see how they make rugs.
Such a wonderful day. Definitely book with Mett

Exceptional, Experiences and Professional - We used Ephesus Port Tours several years ago on a trip to Kusadasi, Turkey. They were very impressive and took us to the points of interest we wanted to visit at our own place. We decided to utilize their services again for an upcoming cruise. However, due to a change in plans, we had to cancel this outing.
The were prompt in acknowledging our cancellation with no issues at all.
I feel the value and personal service that Ephesus Port Tours provides will only offer visitors a more enhanced experience that a group tour can provide. If your group is more than 2 people, it becomes an excepational value. Much less than doing a group shore excursion from the ship.

Very professional service - Firstly I would like to thank the company for being so quick to reply to emails. Knowing you can get a return response to any request I feel is very important and they have been extremely helpful. As I am a disabled traveller I probably ask more questions than most , but nothing has been too much trouble. So I totally endorse these guys if you want an attentive and quick helpful service. Nothing has been too much trouble. Book with confidence.

Great Service - Great Tour Guides! - My sister and her husband used the Ephesus Tour Port Tours when they last visited Ephesus and had a wonderful tour! Unfortunately due to the conflict in the region, we were unable to travel in November, but we have had great interactions with Ephesus Port Tours and we will have them escort us when we are able to re-book. Please consider using this excellent company!

The Tour We Wanted - So - we didn't actually get to go on this tour - the war in Israel resulted in our cruise being cancelled as it was to traverse the Suez canal and stop in Ephesus. But if the communication I have had in planning this excursion is any indication of the tour experience, it would have been great! Wehope to travel to Ephesus soon, and I'll contact this provider again!
