Step back in time with a guided tour of Ephesus, one of the most important and best-preserved cities of the ancient Greco-Roman world. Located just three kilometers from the modern town of Selçuk in the Izmir province of Turkey, Ephesus holds immense historical, architectural, and religious significance. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ruins of Ephesus are a testament to the city’s past prominence as a thriving commercial hub and a vital center of early Christianity. During your tour, you’ll walk among awe-inspiring remnants like the Temple of Domitian, the grand Roman baths, Hercules Gate, the ornate Odeon, and even ancient public toilets—each structure offering a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and advanced engineering of antiquity. Nestled in a lush valley, the site’s grandeur is only heightened by its scenic surroundings.

Your journey also includes a visit to the House of the Virgin Mary, a peaceful pilgrimage site believed to be where Mary spent her final days. Here, guests often pause to reflect by the fountains and leave personal messages on the famed "desire wall." The tour also features a panoramic view of the legendary Temple of Artemis, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. To complete your experience, enjoy a delicious lunch featuring traditional Turkish cuisine, and take the opportunity to explore local craftsmanship with optional visits to jewelry, leather, or ceramic workshops. This tour blends cultural discovery, spiritual insight, and a taste of authentic Turkey, making it an unforgettable highlight of any visit to the region.

We booked a day excursion from the port of Kusadasi with Best Ephesus Tours thanks to the positive reviews. I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive considering our private tour was a third of the price of the same excursion if I had booked it as a group tour from the ship - and no credit card guarantee was requested. Completely unwarranted. the day in Ephesus was the highlight of our cruise. We were so lucky that Omer was our guide. Perfect English, completely attentive and constantly trying (and succeeding) in making sure we got the most of the day. He adjusted the itinerary on the go to avoid queues as much as possible meaning we had loads of time at our planned locations: House of the Virgin Mary, Ephesus and St. John's Basilica; plus a lovely quick lunch in a great inexpensive place in town. Omer's historical knowledge was outstanding, answering all our questions comprehensively and enriching our experience. Thank you Omer for an unforgettable day. To say I would recommend Best Ephesus Tours is an understatement.... they must truly be the best tour company in Ephesus.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Omer, our wonderful tour guide! From start to finish, she made our day unforgettable. Omer was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging and passionate about sharing the rich history and culture of her country. Our visit to the ancient ruins of Ephesus was truly fascinating. With Omer’s vivid storytelling and deep understanding of the site, we could almost picture life in the city thousands of years ago

There’s nothing better than exploring Ephesus in a comfortable, air-conditioned VIP van with a wonderful tour guide! I usually don’t book excursions outside of cruise ship options, but I’m so glad I did this time. Our guide and driver made our full day in Ephesus absolutely perfect. We highly recommend Best Ephesus Tours, the service was exceptional, and the experience was even better than the cruise excursions, all at a much more reasonable price.

Our tour with Büşra was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she impressed us with her deep knowledge and warm, friendly personality. Having a private tour made the experience even more special — it was relaxed, personalized, and so enjoyable from start to finish. We began by visiting the House of the Virgin Mary, a peaceful and spiritual place that Büşra explained beautifully, sharing both the historical and religious significance behind it. Then, we explored the ancient city of Ephesus, which was simply breathtaking. Walking through the marble streets and seeing the incredible ruins with Büşra’s insightful commentary really brought the site to life.
