1- WHY private Ephesus Tours
A: Ephesus is the most important ancient city in Asia Minor. Other three impressive places i.e. the Basilica of St John, The Temple of Artemis and the House of Virgin Mary are in the borders of Ephesus. If you happen to stop by Kusadasi, we surely recommend you to visit Ephesus and the neighboring wonders with private tours that you probably may experience the disadvantages of the group tours such as;
- group tours are made with at least 25-30 people,
- all guests are collected from different places, which makes you waste time,
- having one guide for many people, speaking different languages which causes difficulty to understand the guide and make people ask many questions, or request the guide to slow down while speaking. When you are ready to continue, others prevent you to enjoy your tour,
- waiting for other guests in the tour, to keep up with everybody while walking or listening or taking pictures,
- group tours are made with English speaking guide. However with private tours, you may have English, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, French, Japanese speaking guides.
Briefly, group tours make you lose time within limited duration of yours.
2- What does the price include?
A: The price includes Certified Professional tour guide, private de-luxe vehicle, all entrance fees, delicious lunch, all drinks, Ephesus Book as our gift.
3- What is the importance of a "Certified Professional" guide?
A: A “Certified Professional” guide, not only informs you about the history, but also lets you know about the daily happenings, local life style and regional legends. A book could give you enough information as well but do not forget that a guide's knowledge is not limited with only one book but many books as well as the experience.
Besides there are not many informative signs within Ephesus, which can describe what you are looking at!
4- What sort of vehicle do you provide?
A: Vehicles are luxurious and air-conditioned, such as Mercedes Vito and/or Sprinter.
5- Will I be paying anything extra than stated on your website?
A: There are no extra charges. The prices include the guide, transportation, entrance fees, lunch and drinks.

A: The tours on our website are held by a member of TURSAB, a International incoming travel agency since 1994, Sisan Tours Travel Agency, with the license number 2627.

A: Lunch is given in a peaceful and lovely green garden in summer, in authentic restaurants in winter. There are the starters, main dish and salad, fruits or dessert and a drink. Please let us know if you have special requirements such as vegetarian food, diabetic food and etc.
10- Is there any public transportation to Ephesus?
A: Yes, there are minibuses (dolmush) to Ephesus. But they drop you off at the main road and you have to walk to the lower gate, which would take about 10-15 minutes by fast walking. When you start the tour from the lower gate you will have to walk uphill which will cause fatigue and take a taxi from the upper gate to the minibus station or the bus stop. If you have limited time during your visit, public transportation is not recommended.
11-Is it possible to hire a taxi to Ephesus?
A: Yes, It is. First of all, it will cost not less than a private tour with a guide and a private car and secondly, to crown it all, you will have to pay all the fees and are not guided in the city of Ephesus. No lunch no nothing!!!!
12- We would like to do some shopping, is it possible with your guidance?
A: Turkey is known as a cheap and fertile country. Handy crafts of Turkey are popular and very qualified. Most of you, probably heard of the beauty of Turkish tiles, carpets, ceramics, leather and textile. There are carpet production centers, leather, ceramics and gold around Ephesus where you see how these items are made. You may even order to have a golden ring or a necklace made, or a leather jacket designed or a carpet woven specially for you. Places we recommend and take you are guaranteed production centers for quality and prices. Where you shop from is as important as where you eat at! The places we recommend, guarantee to pay your money back if you can find the same item, with the same quality for less price. If you do not wish to do shopping, please let us or our guide know about it.
