“Wow! Such an awesome experience. My family and I were taking a cruise and decided to book with Viator instead of the cruise line. First because it was less expensive and second, it was a private tour. Our tour guide Bugra, who now we consider family, was above and beyond expiations. He gave us such an amazing complete custom tour of each site. You could really feel the passion and pride he has for home. Each place we visited he strategically planned based on what our needs were to give us the most ultimate experience. That takes talent. Thank you so much Bugra for giving myself and family such amazing…”

Her manner is relaxing but engaging, informative, interesting with many little details and insights not found in many other guides. I felt I was with a family member exploring her home! If going to Ephesus(and you should there!), book this lady, she’s the best!”

“Our guide Fusun was amazing. I had the most incredible experience visiting the House of the Virgin Mary and the ancient city of Ephesus. This tour was the perfect blend of spirituality, history, and breathtaking scenery. The House of the Virgin Mary was peaceful and deeply moving. The quiet atmosphere, surrounded by nature, made it easy to reflect and take in the significance of this sacred place. From there, we explored Ephesus, and it was simply awe-inspiring. Walking along the marble streets, seeing the Library of Celsus, the Grand Theatre, and the ancient temples felt like stepping back in time. The ruins are remarkably well-preserved, and it’s amazing to imagine…”

“Excellent tour! My friend and I only had limited time to see the city, as we were docked for a cruise. Our tour guide Murat Fesli made us so glad that we chose this one over one offered by the cruise line. We saw historical sites, a fashion show, learned how silk is extracted from worms and made into rugs, and got so much contextual knowledge from Murat. For the price, you absolutely can't beat this tour.”

7-hour Ephesus and Virgin Mary House day trip from Selçuk with lunch included, Artemis visit, and small-group comfort.

“Our guide was very knowledgeable, informative and nice. However we had several issues, the main one being, we almost missed our cruise ship. We visited the Virgin Mary house and Ephesus which were both wonderful. Afterwards they took us to an upscale lamb leather store where we sat for a sort of fashion show of leather apparel and then took us to a store where leather apparel was $1000 and up. It was strange and not listed in the tour description. Our lunch was a cheap buffet and not that good. After that we went to a store that gave a presentation on olive oils and other Turkish goods. We…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 174 reviews · 5 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $163

Morning pickup from Izmir for Ephesus and the Virgin Mary House, skip-the-line entry, plus Selcuk lunch on a small-group day trip.

“I arranged a one-day roundtrip flight from Istanbul to participate in this tour. The convenience of being picked up and dropped off at the airport was greatly appreciated. Both the guide and drivers were excellent, and the tour itself was quite engaging. Although I couldn't partake in any meals due to serious allergies, the lunch venue was exceptionally clean. However, I left the leather shop and fashion show feeling quite frustrated as it was not part of the tour, just a ploy to promote business. Overall, I highly recommend this experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 50 reviews · 5 hours · from $24

Cruise-port Ephesus and Virgin Mary tour with a licensed English guide. Skip lines, see top ruins, house, and Artemis in 5 hours.

“Kaya was a terrific guide! He was a wealth of knowledge from beginning to end! Ephesus was unbelievable. Kaya could answer any question and provided outstanding information. The parts of the tour we did not enjoy were the intense sales pitch at the rug factory and the pottery place. It had nothing to do with Kaya. I would skip those two things other than watching the weaving of the rug and the silk cocoons. I would highly recommend Kaya!”

We were picked up at the Izmir airport at 9:30 am and the super comfortable van and knowledgeable tour guide took us to a ceramics place, Mary’s house, the Ephesus ruins, leather store, carpet looping demo and lunch, and back to airport. Since it was a private tour, he was able to modify to our requests. Very pleased overall.”
