Our advice for our CRUISE GUESTS are the early start of the tour. We recommend a meeting with your guide within 45 minutes after your ship anchoring the harbor, so you don't overlap with heavy traffic, city crowd and too much heat. **Why should you choose PRIVATE instead of a GROUP ... tour ? - In a special round, you won't wait for a long time to buy tickets while visiting the ruins or enter the ruins or museums. Because your private tour guide will make everything ready for you. -Since your guide is only focused on you, your cultural trip will become more enjoyable. If a friend from the group gets sick or falls in large groups in ruins, you will have to stop your tour for a short time. Because the guide of the large groups has to take care of this person. -With a large group, you are dependent on your programs. However, in a special round, you do not have to follow any program, you decide what you want to see, when you want to start and finish your tour. Because this is your own private tour, you are the BOSS and you decide everything. -Crowded buses are very crowded because it is hot and it can bother you. With your private car, the private tour will feel good for you. Read more â–¼

Amazing Ephesus tour with Umut :)

Published on Aug, 2024

Umut made our visit to Ephesus unforgettable. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the ancient ruins to life. We learned so much and appreciated the history even more, thanks to his insightful guidance. Highly recommend Umut for anyone visiting Ephesus!

Ephesus at a Glance

Published on Aug, 2024

Ephesus was one of the tour i’ve been looking forward to. Tour was very informative and well explained properly by our Guide Mr Umut. We were able to skip the big crowd of people with our itinerary. Recommended if you have limited time in Ephesus from Cruise.

House of Virgin Mary and Ephesus plus souvenir shopping

Published on Aug, 2024

Umut was very accomadating and able to speed up the process smoothly. He is very knowledgeable on the places we visited. This is definitely one for the books! Do yourself a favor don’t book the ones offered by cruise. Book here as most likely you won’t get in line with a big crowd and ask for Umut!

Look for Mr Umut for your best tour guide in tukeyè

Published on Aug, 2024

The tour was organized. Mr Umut was very knowledgeable. He explained the history in such a way it was easy to understand for all of us. Due to time constraints we managed to see 3 places. Hopefully we have more time to see more places with Mr Umut in the future.

Awesome, helpful, great communication

Published on Oct, 2023

We booked late - the same morning of the Tour. Miss Gizem was super helpful as there had been a glitch with the booking thru Viator. She found a car & guide, Mr Bugra, who was also awesome, very knowledgeable & accommodating, and always checked if the pace of the tour was ok etc. We visited Ephesus, House of Mary, Basilica of St John / Selculk, Temple of Artimus, The tour / sights were spectacular. But what really made the experience so smooth etc was Miss Gizem and Mr Bugra. Thoroughly recommended this company for their helpfulness and integrity.
