Tour with a professor - Barsh Cubak has encyclopedic knowledge of the Ephesus site, the surrounding area, and indeed the entire history of ancient Ionia and Turkeyi itself. He went overboard to tailor the trip to our interests, to make us comfortable and to be sure no metaphorical stone was unturned. We've taken many tours with Viator but this may have been the best.

Great tour that is worth your time and money!! - Our family truly enjoyed this tour off of our Celebrity Infinity cruise. Fatima was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure we saw everything and she answered all of our questions. Doing the private tour is totally worth the money!!

PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR FROM KUSADASI PORT - Our exclusive tour, though a bit on the expensive side for just the two of us, proved to be worth every penny. Fatima, our guide, made the entire experience seamless by picking us up from the cruise port, alleviating any concerns we had about organizing the tour through Viator independently. Her friendliness and extensive knowledge added immense value to our journey. Valeria expertly guided us to the best spots to witness the attractions while strategically avoiding crowds and staying in the shade. Throughout the tour, she engaged in pleasant conversation, addressing not only historical aspects but also providing insights into contemporary life in Turkey. Fatima's expertise extended to a guided tour of the museum, where she shared her knowledge about the various artifacts. Thanks to her, we had a truly memorable trip, and we highly recommend her services.

Enchanting tour of ancient ruins - We recently has the pleasure of taking a tour of Ephesus. Our tour guide, Fillis met us at the cruise terminal and we immediately headed to the ruins. She was very friendly and warm and instantly put us at ease. She was extremely knowledgeable and skillfully told us about the historical significance of each site, providing insights into the daily lives of the people who once inhabited this ancient city. The Terrace Houses were amazing. These beautifully preserved residences were so interesting. The frescoes and mosaics were truly worth seeing. My son wanted to go see where the carpets were made, so Fillis was happy to take us there to see how these truly beautiful works of art are made. We also had a lovely lunch made by local people. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with a love of history and culture.
