Private Tours of Ephesus and the House of Virgin Mary

Ephesus and House of Virgin Mary Tour

We offer private tours of Ephesus and the House of Virgin Mary with licensed tour guides from Kusadasi, Selcuk, Izmir, Alacati, and Cesme. All of our tours are conducted by licensed tour guides and chauffeured luxury vehicles. In addition to private tours with English-speaking tour guides, we also provide private tours with Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, French, and Italian-speaking licensed tour guides. There is a surcharge for non-English speaking tours.

Half-day Tour: Temple of Artemis, Ephesus, House of Mary
After meeting with your official tour guide, drive through the olive groves, peach orchards, and cotton fields. Arrive in Selcuk, where the House of Virgin Mary and the Roman city of Ephesus are located. Your first stop on this fascinating tour is the House of Virgin Mary, a Christian shrine in the vicinity of Ephesus. Some Christians and Muslims believe that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this stone house by St. John following the crucifixion of Jesus. Roman Catholics believe that she lived there until her assumption into heaven. Other denominations of Christians recognize this spot as her burial place.
Now continue to the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the most magnificent and best-preserved sites of Roman history in the world. Ephesus was once the capital of Asia Minor, and it is here that St. Paul spent three years teaching Christianity. Tour the ancient town, visiting the Fountain of Trajan, Temple of Hadrian, Celsus Library, the Marble Road, and the Roman theater that is mentioned in the Acts of Apostles Chapter 19.
* For travelers who do not want to visit the House of Virgin Mary. House of Virgin Mary visit can be substituted with Basilica of St. John or Archaeological Museum of Ephesus.

(At House of Virgin Mary, Holy Mass is held every day, from Monday to Saturday at 5:15 pm (November to March) and 6:15 pm (April to October). The Sunday Mass is held at 10:30 am. Our guests have the option to attend the Holy Mass.)

We will be coming to Kusadasi on the Carnival Pride on 15 September. We came several years ago and you gave us a wonderful tour. We are a party of 6 this time, and am wondering if you have availability for the 1/2 day Emphasis tour 2. I noticed we are there on a 20 percent off day. Can you let me know about availability and pricing?
