Tour of ancient churches and the cultures surrounding them. - My tour was done by Yavuz and by far the the most knowledgeable tour guide we had throughout our vacation learning about ancient Rome, Greek, Christian, and the history of their churches and supermarkets.

Wonderful Tour - We ended up as the only members of our "small Group." Our guide was very educated and extremely informative. Ephesus itself is unreal. We learned so much more than some others who booked a large group at a much greater expense. We would highly recommend this "group" experience!

Great Tour - We had a terrific time with Ephesus Shuttle. We selected this tour for a port day in Kusadasi while on a Mediterranean Cruise. Our guide met us at the designated place, and we boarded a clean comfortable van for our drive to the Ephesus archeological site. This is a place not to be missed. The guide was friendly, fun and informative. I would recommend this tour without hesitation.

GREAT TIME HAD BY ALL - The trip was AMAZING!!! We had a mixed group of ages ranging from 10 to 69. The tour guide took EVERYONE into consideration as we moved through. She gave us plenty of time to enjoy at our own pace but still kept us on track. I HIGHLY recommend the tour.

The best way to see Ephesus! - I was referred to Ephesus Shuttle by a friend who encouraged us not to book our tour of Ephesus through the cruise line. I am so glad we chose Ephesus Shuttle! Our experience was first rate, from pick up to drop off (right at the cruise dock) our experience could not have been better. Our guide was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable, the transportation was clean, new and air conditioned. Our private tour was simply perfect, with no maddening crowds or hassles of any kind.

Totally worth the price and experience - Great tour with just the right amount of time. Only six in our group and the tour guide I think her make was Inaur was very knowledgeable about all the sites. Totally recommend this tour, we were able to see a lot plus still have plenty of time in port to shop, eat, and more shopping!!

Highly recommend - safe and great communication - My teenage daughters and I were so pleased with this tour by Emre. We were a bit nervous going to Turkey for the first time. Emre and the driver were excellent. Emre met us at the Kusadasi cruise port. The transportation to/from Ephesus was smooth and efficient. Emre’s clear explanation of the Ephesus history and culture were better than we imagined. Great English communication!! We are 3 young adult women travelling and we hoped and prayed for an overall safe experience- we were so thankful for a perfect day with Emre and Ephesus Shuttle!!

Amazing tour. Far better than offered by the cruise ship. - We took this tour during a day visit while on a cruise. We took the tour as a group of six ranging in age from 77 to 12. We were met at the port with a sign and our guide Nilghun guided us to the van. The van was a very nice Mercedes 16 passenger van and was impeccably clean. We took about a 20-30 minute drive to Ephesus and we’re completely blown away by the history of it all. Nilghun was an outstanding guide. Her passion for her country shined through all day long. Additionally, she did a great job of controlling the pace for our group and also found quiet Plato talk even though it was very busy. If you visit Ephesus the terrace houses there are a must see. After Ephesus we went to a carpet making place where they show how hand made carpets are still traditionally made. After explaining the process they showed us many variations of carpets for sale. I was skeptical at this point but honestly there was no pressure at all to buy anything. Obviously they want you to purchase something but it’s not a hard sell at all. The carpets are beautiful and the process is something you should really see in person. Even if you aren’t in the market to shop for a carpet I would recommend the stop. It’s worth 30 minutes to see the history in action. We were then taken back to the port with plenty of time to get back to the ship. This tour was much cheaper than the cruise excursions and you get a much more detailed experience.
