Private Biblical Ephesus tour from Kusadasi port with line-skipping, Meryemana and St. John, plus local lunch in a luxury van.

“Tolga gave us an excellent private tour from Kusadasi cruise port, relating lots of historical information and relating it to the events recorded in the New Testament. The vehicle was very comfortable and, since he was not driving, Tolga was able to give us full attention en route. Ephesus was remarkable and we were able to understand much more than our fellow cruise passengers on the organised group tour. It was probably also cheaper and certainly much better value!”

Such a comfortable and clean vehicle for just the two of us. Our driver Eser was very careful and also very caring. I needed some help entering and exiting and he was always there.

“Nos ha encantado la visita. Hemos podido ver las ruinas de Éfeso con todo lujo de detalles, al igual que hemos visitado también la casa de la Virgen María y la basílica de San Juan. Creo que esta visita es imprescindible si estás por Esmirna. Por otro lado, tanto el guia, como el conductor fueron muy amables y correctos. El guia, de hecho, nos dió muchos consejos sobre Esmirna. El unico defecto que veo es que en el tour no incluyan la visita al museo de Éfeso En definitiva, Tour totalmente recomendado.”
