Ephesus is located on the west coast of Turkey. It was the capital of the Roman Empire in Asia and had an astonishing population of 500,000. Today, this ancient city is one of the top places to visit in Turkey and was also included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015. It is also a religious center that attracts millions of visitors every year. The House of the Mother Mary and many other temples make this region one of the most important gems of Turkey with its vast religious harmony. When you arrive at Kusadasi port, your private guide will be waiting to escort you to your luxury car, where you can relax while your excursion to Ephesus begins. Enter the magnificent city through the Magnesian Gate and then join your guide for a Roman-era walk through the ruins of ancient Ephesus, the capital of Asia Minor. The route will take you to the Odeon, the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan, and the Great Theater. Then you will visit the House of Mother Mary, where she spent the last days of her life. Next, we will visit the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It was completely rebuilt three times and was finally destroyed in 401 AD. We then drive back to the port of Kusadasi, where your tour ends

Istanbul Private Tours on a Segway

Istanbul private tours rarely feel this dynamic. This private tour on a Segway lets you explore Istanbul without the slow pace of a classic walking tour, yet you stay close enough to the streets to absorb real city energy.

You glide past Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and other iconic landmarks while your tour guide shares layered history and sharp local insights through an audio system. Unlike crowded boat tours, this Istanbul tour keeps you on land, weaving between courtyards and historic lanes.
