Overview

Your guide can introduce you to what was once the best city within the Roman Empire and stop at far-famed sites like the Temple of Adrian, the Library of Celcius and the Odeon.

After visiting the ancient city, you 'll go to the House of the Virgin Mary, which is known to be where the biblical Mother Mary lived before her ascent into Heaven. Your guide can inform you about the years of the Roman Empire and necessary alternative periods in Turkish history.

We had a very enjoyable time with our guide and she made us truly feel like a family. We spent more on this tour, but it was worth it to have our own guide.

We were surprised by how much fun this Ephesus tour was for us. We were concerned about spending the money for a private tour and maybe not being able to complete it. We were not disappointed. Thanks.
