A wonderful day
From the first email through getting off the bus at the end of the tour, this company delivered exactly what was promised! A full day exploring Ephesus with Dilek, a visit to Mary’s house, tasting Turkish treats and more, the day was wonderful. Thank you so much to Elif for helping everyone in our groups to have a fabulous and comfortable day in Ephesus! 10 plus stars!!! Do not hesitate to do it!!

Great Ephesus Private Tour for Cruisers
Sergen was our private tour guide. He met us just after the cruise terminal. He was polite, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a driver and a private van. I highly recommend them. Ephesus was outstanding, better than Pompeii. Sergen knew when to go, how to avoid the crowds (and it was crowded), and when we finished he suggested other options. We visited a mosque from 1375 during Friday's noon prayer session. It was very interesting. After that we visited a pottery maker and that was also well worth the time. If you visit Kusadasi, use Ephesus Port Tours and request Sergen, you will not be disappointed.

Day tour
Isik our tour guide was very knowledgeable and punctual with the pick-up from the port. We visited the house of Mary and the Ephesus ruins. The temperature was very hot but we where given umbrellas to shield u s from the sun. A very enjoyable tour.

Great customer service
I cannot rate the tour as unfortunately we could not go on the cruise anymore this year and had to cancel but Elif was understanding and accommodating in this situation. If we end up booking again next year will definitely use Ephesus Port Tours.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cruise Guests : Highlights of Ephesus Tour / Kusadasi Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Cruise Guests : Highlights of Ephesus Tour / Kusadasi Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Cruise Guests : Highlights of Ephesus Tour / Kusadasi Tours take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Cruise Guests : Highlights of Ephesus Tour / Kusadasi Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kusadasi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cruise Guests : Highlights of Ephesus Tour / Kusadasi Tours?
+
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 Cruise Guests : Highlights of Ephesus Tour / Kusadasi Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cruise Guests : Highlights of Ephesus Tour / Kusadasi Tours?
+
Around 1 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cruise Guests : Highlights of Ephesus Tour / Kusadasi Tours 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.
