Private Tour guide Ephesus/Kusadasi Recommendations

This is a little last minute but I am hoping someone can help. We will be on a Viking Ocean cruise over the week of Christmas that has a stop in Kusadasi. I am looking for a private guide to take me, my husband and our four adult children to Ephesus. I know Viking offers excursions but we are looking for a more personal experience.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Jennifer M

I understand you want a private guide, and I hope you find one. You might look in a Rick Steve's Istanbul guidebook, he does cover Ephesus as a chapter. If you do not find a guide, we found the Viking guide to be quite good. We really enjoyed the Ephesus stop. I believe there might have been an additional tour that you can add on for Ephesus.

Hi ssidocs, We may be on the same cruise! We booked an excursion with Ephesus Shuttle. Aylin has been responsive (usually within 12 hours or less) and tailored the excursion to fit exactly what we wanted. In fact, we also booked an excursion with them in Istanbul. A couple of weeks ago I just reconfirmed our reservations with him. So polite and professional! Can't wait for our first cruise!
