    • Pickup and drop-off are at the Kusadasi cruise port.
    • If your ship is delayed, the tour timing is adjusted and your guide waits for you.
    • Entry to Ephesus is with a skip-the-line ticket, so you avoid the ticket queue.
    • Ephesus has long walks on uneven marble and stone streets, so wear comfortable shoes.
    • Bring a hat, sunscreen, and water, as there is very little shade at Ephesus.

    The private tour gave us flexibility, which was great. However, I would have preferred to have a bit more time at the Grand Theatre. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm glad I went.
