What Is a Private Ephesus Tour?

A Private Ephesus Tour is a fully customized experience led by a licensed, local guide just for you and your group. Unlike group tours, you're not bound by rigid schedules or rushed itineraries. Instead, you get:

  • Personalized attention
  • Flexible timing
  • A custom itinerary based on your interests
  • Private transportation
  • More time at the places you love most

It’s the ideal choice for families, couples, seniors, small groups, and anyone who values a deeper, more intimate connection with the destination.

Why Choose a Private Tour Over a Group Tour?

Comfort and Privacy

Travel in an air-conditioned, private vehicle—no crowds, no strangers. You can relax, ask questions freely, and enjoy your journey without distractions.

Pace That Fits You

Want to spend 30 minutes admiring the Library of Celsus? Prefer to skip the souvenir stops and dive straight into the ruins? A private tour adjusts to your pace, not the other way around.

In-Depth Knowledge

Your guide focuses solely on you and your group. You’ll hear detailed stories, historical context, and cultural insights you won’t get in a large group setting.

Custom Add-Ons

Many private tours allow you to add nearby attractions like the House of Virgin Mary, Sirince Village, Temple of Artemis, or even local wine tastings and handicraft workshops.

What’s Included in a Private Ephesus Tour?

While every tour can be customized, here is a sample itinerary of what a typical Private Ephesus Tour includes:

Ephesus Ancient City

  • The Library of Celsus – Iconic facade and symbol of ancient knowledge.
  • The Great Theater – Where up to 25,000 spectators once watched plays and political debates.
  • Marble Street – Walk in the footsteps of emperors and philosophers.
  • Odeon, Fountain of Trajan, Temple of Hadrian, and more.

Terrace Houses (Optional)

These luxury Roman homes feature stunning mosaics and frescoes. Highly recommended for those interested in daily life during the Roman Empire.

House of Virgin Mary (Optional Add-On)

A sacred site for Christians, believed to be where Mary spent her last days. Peaceful and spiritual, nestled in the mountains.

Temple of Artemis

Once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, now a symbolic stop on the tour.

Local Experiences (Optional)

Many private tours offer extras like:

  • Olive oil tastings
  • Visits to Sirince, a charming wine village

How Long Does a Private Tour Take?

Most private tours last between 4 to 6 hours, depending on your starting point (Kusadasi, Izmir, Selçuk) and selected stops. You can start early to beat the crowds or choose an afternoon tour for softer light and fewer people.

Cruise passengers: Don’t worry! Private tours are carefully timed to ensure you return to your ship with time to spare.

  • Families with kids who need a flexible pace
