We booked a private tour of Ephesus and the terrace houses for 6 people online. The process was easy and the operator responsive to email. We got clear instructions on costs and where to meet our guide at the cruise terminal. Right on time, we met our guide Dilek and the driver Mustafa (sp?). The car was a almost brand new Mercedes van with very comfortable seats and excellent air conditions. Dilek went over our itinerary and quickly figured out that we weren't interested in the religious aspects of the area (i.e. House of Virgin Mary, etc.) and wanted more time at Ephesus and the Ephesus museum. At Ephesus, Dilek led us on an excellent tour, spending just the right amount of time at each location, answering our questions, and providing background and insight into what we were seeing. Even having visited Ephesus before on a guided tour, Dilek still shared information we had not heard before. She also told us about very recent discoveries and how they are changing the understanding of Ephesus history. Following Ephesus, we visited the Ephesus museum and the Temple of Artemis. On the way back to the port, we discussed local food. Dilek even had the driver stop by a local bakery famous for their baklava so that we could buy some - needless to say it was fantastic. Back at the port just after lunchtime, DIlek gave us several recommendations for where to each lunch. Overall an excellent tour - efficient, personal, and beyond expectations. Even better was the price - about 1/3 of what the cruise line was charging for a group tour. I highly recommend this company and this tour.Barbara27215

We had a wonderful tour with Hakan. It was suggested we get an early start and we were well rewarded. We were the first to the V Mary’s house. It was a beautiful morning as well as very moving. Then on to Ephesus were Hakan gave us a very thorough tour. Thanks Hakan!

We used EPHESUS PORT TOURS to customize an excellent tour in Kusadasi, Turkey. HAKAN was our tour guide and he was first rate. I will be reviewing him separately. The tour was easy to find and easy to book, but be warned, Ephesus Port Tours are very popular so you need to book well in advance. My family is quite diverse ranging in ages from 12 to 61 but we all love history and visiting the home of Saint Mary, mother of Jesus, and Ephesus was amazing. We also had the chance to visit a silk rug making school and Wow was that cool!!! The air-conditioned van met us at the dock as promised and we raced off passing all the other Cruise ship tour busses to be first in line at the home of Saint Mary’s. A major plus!!! Hakan was informative, about the history of Saint Mary’s without any overtly religious commentary. He was well versed in the religion, as he does pilgrimage tours as well, but we wanted the history and to race off to the next place Ephesus!! While Saint Mary’s was in the mountains and cool and comfortable Ephesus was HOT!!! Fortunately, Ephesus Port Tours offers umbrellas to its guests, one of the only tour companies to do so and they provided a welcome respite from the heat so we could better enjoy the tour.!! Ephesus is awe inspiring and awesome. The history was well explained and Hakan showed us the best places to get the best selfies, and photographs. He also gave us time to self-explore. The next stop was one of the wonders of the ancient world the Temple of Artemis. Hakan explained the history and the layout of the ancient temple and showed us a very interesting view. On the mountains behind the Temple were a Muslim temple and a Catholic cathedral. Thus, our view of the Temple was the only place in the World where you could see Pagan, Muslim and Christian structures in the same place. The photos were wonderful. I would highly recommend Ephesus Port Tours. Look them up on Trip Advisor and work with them to get the tour that is right for your family and friends!mick1001

EPHESUS A delicate balance today between fellow travellers with interests primarily in visiting Ephesus Ancient City, and the more devout with interests also in what a little house up in the mountains above the ancient city represents to Christians. But thanks to our excellent guide, Hakan, we do it well and finish up with excellent Kebabs in a small family establishment near the port in Kusadasi for lunch (a place where Hakan takes his family), washed down with refreshing local wines or beers. It is thought that Mary and the beloved disciple John came to this part of the world from Jerusalem across the sea. Imagination and some quiet contemplation helps to truly appreciate this place. I wouldn’t mind settling in this peaceful with little birds singing as they flit from branch to branch. Perhaps, I wouldn’t like to walk to a well somewhere to get the water to bathe, as Mary did. I wonder if she cooked kebabs as delicious as we enjoyed? Visits of three popes to this House of Mary in recent times is an indication of the significance of the site. Silently inside, we can see the lamp that was gifted by Paul VI, a chalice from St John Paul II, and a gold rosary from Benedict XVI. My sister Anne and I take the opportunity to light candles, and say a prayer for elder brother Tony, and also remember other friends and family. Ephesus Ancient City is so much more than I expected. It has been excavated from under tons of silt built-up over the years by flooding from a river than brings floods down from the mountains. So much silt that the once seaside City is now some miles inland with fertile lands of peaches and olives all the way to the now distant sea.TravellerGOT007

クルーズでクサダシに寄港したので、古代エフェソス遺跡のプライベート・ツアーを探しEphesus Port Tourにお願いしました。メールでの返信は非常に迅速で、料金も現地払いでとてもスムースに手配できました。車とガイドは船の到着を待っていてくれ、先方のお勧めにより混雑と暑さを避けるために早めの出発にしました。全てテーラーメードで行きたいところのみカバーしてもらい、聖母マリアの家、広大なエフェソス遺跡、ヨハネ教会、アルテミス神殿跡などをとても効率よく回りました。ガイドのHakanさんは熱心に説明してくれ、親切なお客思いの方でした。遺跡に照りつける焼けるような太陽光を遮るために大きな雨傘を用意してくれ、多くの観光客の中で一見滑稽に見えましたが、これがとても役に立ちました。最後に選択肢があり、カーペットのデモを選びましたが、ガイドさんが約束してくれたように、買わなければいけないというプレッシャーは全くなく、デモだけを見て終わりました。特にトルコの場合はこの点ではっきりと意思表示が必要です。その後、我々のリクエストとおりのローカル・ランチで、食堂のおばさんの手作り、とてもヘルシーで美味な昼食をいただきました。全行程で約6時間のツアーでしたが、とても満足しました。今回は寄港時間が朝の８時から夜1１時までと十分にあったので、このエキゾチッきな港町をとても楽しむ事ができました。ここ数年はクサダシ（エフェソス）に寄港するクルーズ船はローカルを除くとあまり多くないそうです。2020年頃からまた大型船が帰ってくるそうです。Scott_G
