After arriving in Kusadasi with Viking Cruises, I opted for a private tour of Ephesus instead of the included ship excursion, and I have no regrets! The personalized experience was worth every penny. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the history, allowing us to explore the ancient ruins at our own pace. We skipped the long lines, which meant we could fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking sites like the Library of Celsus and the amphitheater. Booking a private tour truly enhanced my visit to Ephesus!
