Frequently asked questions
What can we include in a private shore excursion?
You decide the itinerary with your guide. The most popular combinations are Ephesus + House of the Virgin Mary, Ephesus + Şirince village, or Ephesus + Şirince with a long lunch. Anything within your port time is possible.
Is the private tour price per person or per group?
The price is for the private vehicle, driver and guide — not per person — so it becomes more economical the more of your family or group join. The exact quote depends on your itinerary and group size.
Is a private tour worth it over a group shore excursion?
If you value flexibility — lingering at the Library of Celsus, skipping the shopping stop, adding Şirince — or you travel with children or anyone with limited mobility, the private format removes every compromise of a group schedule.
Do private tours also guarantee return to the ship?
Yes — the itinerary is planned around your ship’s schedule, and having your own vehicle means the timing is even more controllable than in a group.
