Shore Excursions · SHORE EXCURSIONS WITH A GUARANTEED RETURN
Independent operators who put the return in writing take on the risk the ship’s excursion desk normally holds. These are the ones that do, what the guarantee actually covers, and how much slack each leaves before all-aboard.

Our tour guide Nil made the experience extra special with her in depth knowledge of the history of Ephesus and Turkey in general. She made the day about us and worked around what we wanted to do and see. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Kudasi for the day.”

“Dicle and Ihan were the best team to tour us around Ephesus and the surrounding area. We learned so much from Dicle about the ancient ruins of Ephesus as well as the Turkish culture. We are so inspired by her that we are planning a trip back to explore other parts of Turkey. She really opened our eyes of the beauty and the culture we can experience in Turkey! Ihan was a great driver and made us comfortable in his van. All in all a very memorable experience for us!”
