Book it! An excellent tour of Ephesus and the House of Virgin Mary. The tour group was a comfortable size and the air conditioned transportation was modern and well maintained. Our tour guide was very informative, had a great personality and over all a pleasure to spend the day with. The tour itself allowed us plenty of time at each destination and we didn't feel rushed. We returned to the cruise dock with plenty of time to visit local shopping. Overall a good day and good value for the money

Wonderful Shore Excursion!
October 05, 2022
We had a most excellent tour of Ephesus with an outstanding tour guide. Our guide was VERY knowledgeable, the walking pace was excellent. We LOVED seeing the sights at Ephesus and hearing all our guide shared.
We were also VERY happy that Shore Excursions promises that we are back to our cruise ship at the appropriate times...we had NO worries about this! That was appreciated very much!

My wife and I were very surprised at this excellent tour. We were the only two and our guide was excellent. She was both knowledgeable and pleasant. We had ample time at both sites and were given any private time we wanted. We also were brought in to see how the silk is extracted from cocoons to make rugs. Highly recommend for all!

Best ever guide and tour!
May 23, 2016
The guide was extremely knowledgable. Small group. Easy to understand and hear. Very informative. Included his local knowledge of impact on Mary's house and previous fire. Nice vendors and reasonable prices. Ancient Ephesus was awesome to see. Would like to go back! Friendly welcoming people. Don't let threat of terrorism deter you. None here. Way over blown by media!

A pleasant eye opener
June 03, 2015
Our guide had just the right demeanor. He had a folksy style, nice sense of humor, and made the history lesson easy and fun. His wife who we met on the tour was also very nice looking! He was respectful of the quietness around the House of Mary. He was respectful of other tour groups. The map that we were shown in the van was very helpful to understand locations involved in the history that we were learning about.

we have traveled on many cruise ships. This is the second time I had the opportunity to use Shore Excursions Group and find that they are far superior to anything the cruise ship has to offer. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly, speak English well, and make the entire day enjoyable...
