I sent you an email in February 2015 about the Christian sites and Ephesus shore excursion from Kusadasi for October 15, 2015 for a group of 8-10 passengers off the MS Zuiderdam. Eileen had already booked one van tour and recommended I start this second group from Cruise critic bloggers. . .
I have 8-10 passengers prior to our final payment so I would like to firm up this reservation pending the final payment to the cruise company in late July 2015. Then I will be confident of my numbers.

Please forward the full day's itinerary with inclusions and exclusions on the cost for the van.
I do not wish to miss Ephesus.

Thank you MaryLiz Roth

I was sent your request for info. I used this company for a one day tour out of Kusadasi in October 2015 off HAL Zuiderdam . WE took the "Christian Ephesus" tour which was outstanding and far beyond our expectations. It included everything we needed including a pleasant relaxed lunch, all of the ancient Ephesus, House of Mary and Basilica of St John. Our guide was beyond wonderful. He knew his history for both the ruins and the Christian church as a muslim scholar. The cost for our group of 10 was very reasonable ( less than 20 Euroos per person plus gratuity) Here is their description in 2015:
Fullday (7 hours) Tour of Ephesus - Christian Ephesus
Meet with your guide in front of the Kusadasi port passenger terminal. Drive to the country. Your first stop on this fascinating tour is at the HOUSE OF VIRGIN MARY. Then, you will continue on to visit ancient EPHESUS, one of the most magnificent and best-preserved ancient sites in the world. See the Odeion, the Market Basilica, Curetes Street, Bath,Celsus Library, Marble Street and the Great Theater with a seating capacity of 25,000 people. Afterwards visit the BASILICA OF ST. JOHNand see the TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS, one of the wonders of the ancient world. En-route to Kusadasi enjoy the scenery or shopping opportunity



Cost of the referenced tour for 8-10 people: 170 Euro

Inflation over 5 years and costs of Turkey's battered economy might double the costs but what a good company they proved to be for us.
Good luck
