Private Biblical Ephesus tour accompanied by a professional guide
Overview of your Kusadasi tour
Ephesus played a decisive role in the spread of Christian faith throughout the Roman Empire. Two important Councils of the early Church were held at Ephesus in 431 and 449 CE. The remains of the Basilica of St. John on Ayasuluk Hill and those of the Church of Mary in Ephesus are testament of the city's importance to Christianity. The house of Mother Mary was bestowed the title of an official place of Catholic pilgrimage in the 1800s after years of debates. Three popes visited the site; Pope Paul VI(1967), Pope John Paul II(1979) and Pope Benedict XVI (2006). Book this private Ephesus tour with a knowledgeable English-speaking guide to explore Ephesus and the other major sites of interest!

Uzay went above and beyond in making our tour amazing! The fact that I am handicapped and have limited mobility did not stop him from helping me see the sight of Ephesus on my mobility scooter. He is very knowledgeable, has a wonderful personality and tailored the tour to meet our needs! I would recommend him to anyone!

Uzay met all our expectations. He was very accommodating of changes to the timing and itinerary and gave us full decision-making control over what we wanted to do/ see/ experience from the start. Uzay knows his stuff, loves his city and can communicate in a way that is easy to understand and enjoyable to listen to. As a bonus, he knows this guy in Ephesus who can, for a small fee, follow you around and take amazing photos of you and your surroundings, so you don't need to think about taking your own sel

What an amazing city Ephesus is!! It is so full of history and archeological sites. Uzay was extremely knowledgeable of every aspect of the city. He explained everything in depth as we walked through the ancient ruins. He took us to the platform just outside the ancient theater where the Apostle Paul preached to the Ephesians. He also took us to the House of the Virgin Mary where you could feel an overwhelming sacredness of this holy shrine. Uzay, thank you for such a wonderful experience in Ephesus!
