Ephesus Ancient City
After greeting, we will have 20 mins. Drive to Ephesus area. Ephesus (Rev. 2:1-7), major port city on the Aegean, was the commercial, political, and religious center of all of Asia Minor. After a lunatic completely burned the Temple of Diana (Artemis) on the night, that Alexander the Great was born in 356 B.C. The Ephesians worked for 120 years to complete a magnificent reconstructed temple, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. The city became part of the Roman Empire in the second century B.C. As a Roman capital of Asia Minor, Ephesus boasted a population approaching 250,000 people. The Apostle Paul’s first visit to Ephesus was brief—during his second missionary tour (Acts 18:19-21). His second visit lasted about three years—during his third missionary tour (Acts 19:1 to 20:31). Luke’s account of the worship of Diana appears in Acts 19:34-35. The Great Theatre (stadium) mentioned in Acts 19:29-31 could seat 25,000 people. Walk the marble-paved street with grooves made by chariot wheels. See the Fountain of Trojan, the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre.Visit the Chapel of the Virgin Mary (Double Church), where the Third Ancient Council convened.

Great experiencs
Tansu was an experienced and knowledgeable guide that enhanced our experience at Ephesus. We took the Biblical tour and she was careful to point out all the biblical significance and sites. She also made sure that we were fed, hydrated and not overheating. We had a great time.

Biblically Based Ephesus Tour
Melih bible based tour greatly exceeded our expectations. As we walked the steps of Paul through Ephesus, Melih framed what we were seeing to Acts 19 specifically and the Bible in general. Dr Jim Majors, Ordained Minister

High quality Ephesus tour (Emra was a fantastic tour guide)
This tour exceeded our expectations for a biblical tour of Ephesus. The transportation and driver was excellent. We did not wait anywhere. Emra is really an exceptional tour guide, he knows all the good things to tell about, listens to questions well, and also has a great sense of humor!
via Viator
Wonderful private tour
Can’t beat the private tour, just me and my wife. Our guide was very attentive and extremely knowledgeable. Took us to a wonderful place for lunch. Had our own personal driver. They picked us up and dropped us off at the front gates. Only negative is they took us to a place that made rugs. A Little pressure to buy. The process is interesting to see though.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you again for your loyalty and thoughtful insights. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to Ephesus and will do everything we can to ensure another wonderful travel. We will share your kind message and opinions with your guide. We would be delighted to see you in our wonderfull country again. Curio Travel Team

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
ALL INCLUSIVE Biblical Ephesus with BIBLE Oriented Guide &LUNCH: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does ALL INCLUSIVE Biblical Ephesus with BIBLE Oriented Guide &LUNCH cost?
+
Prices start at $118 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kusadasi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does ALL INCLUSIVE Biblical Ephesus with BIBLE Oriented Guide &LUNCH take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kusadasi is not rushed.
Is ALL INCLUSIVE Biblical Ephesus with BIBLE Oriented Guide &LUNCH worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 561 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kusadasi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule ALL INCLUSIVE Biblical Ephesus with BIBLE Oriented Guide &LUNCH?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is ALL INCLUSIVE Biblical Ephesus with BIBLE Oriented Guide &LUNCH suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book ALL INCLUSIVE Biblical Ephesus with BIBLE Oriented Guide &LUNCH?
+
Around 196 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kusadasi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kusadasi and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does ALL INCLUSIVE Biblical Ephesus with BIBLE Oriented Guide &LUNCH start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kusadasi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kusadasi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kusadasi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include FOR CRUISERS: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour with ENTRY TICKET+LUNCH, Ephesus Temple of Artemis and House of Mary Private Half Day Tour, Ephesus and Temple of Artemis Private Tour from Kusadasi Port. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kusadasi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kusadasi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
