VIP Ephesus Tour from Kusadasi Cruise Port & SkipTheLine Tickets
Overview
ON-TIME RETURN GUARANTEE FOR CRUISE PASSENGERS
See the best of Ephesus on a private or small group tour, with our On-Time Return Guarantee for cruise guests.
Choose a Private VIP Tour for more flexibility and a pace that suits your group, or join a Small Group Tour. English and Spanish tours are operated separately by professional, licensed guides.
Visit the House of the Virgin Mary, walk the ancient streets of Ephesus, see the Library of Celsus and Great Theater, and stop at the Temple of Artemis.
Skip-the-Line Tickets: Your guide can arrange tickets in advance, so you don't waste time at the ticket office. Entrance fees are included only in the options that specifically say so.
For Cruise Guests: We recommend meeting your guide within 30 minutes of leaving the ship. Starting early helps you stay ahead of the larger tour groups and avoid some of the midday heat.
We plan the timing around your ship's schedule, so you'll be back at the port on time.
