Ephesus - Local Tour Guide

There are several biblical focused private tours, Christian focused private tours, and at least one Christian tour company available via google research. The requested orientation for the guide does not figure prominently in any of the offerings. Are you sure that such is essential? Guides have been professional, informative and respectful throughout my travels in Turkey.

A month ago we visited Ephesus and it was great! My wife and I enjoyed exploring the site on our own while our friends had a private tour that pretty much explained things in a fashion similar to the Rick Steves' Istanbul Guide - which we had already read. My recommendation is to do your research/reading about the site in advance and then explore it on your own. I'm no expert but hiring a tour guide ends up with them in control of your time rather than you. Either way you will enjoy and be amazed by Ephesus. BTW - don't miss the House of the Virgin Mary, the Basilica of St. John, and the Temple of Artemis. All are nearby.

Thank you both for the helpful information and suggestions, much appreciated!

Hi everybody,
I am Ahmet, from Turkey. I am a professional tourist guide. Although i live in İstanbul, i am licenced also for aegean region, mediterranean region, middle anatolia region and Marmara region. In my opinion, if you want to take real and mostly unknown information about any kind of monuments, no need to find a Christian tour guide. Because most of tourist guides have history knowledge more than enough about christianity maybe more than many christians. If you want to take more information, please don't hesitate to contact me via whatsapp. My mobile number is +905353111107

I would love to know if you were able to find anyone? I have clients who are going on cruise this summer and also looking for a Christian local guide. Thank you!
