Sample Itinerary
A typical route — fully flexible. You decide what to see and how long to stay; your guide adapts to you and your ship's schedule.
Pickup at Kusadasi Cruise Port
Your private guide meets you right at the port the moment you step off the ship — no queues, no searching. Straight to your luxury minivan and on your way.
Ephesus Ancient City
The heart of the tour — one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman cities in the world. Walk the marble streets to the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre and the Odeon, with your private guide bringing it all to life.
Guaranteed On-Time Return to Port
We bring you back to your ship with plenty of time to spare before departure — every time. That is our promise to cruise guests.
- The package has two separate tours: one from Kusadasi Cruise Port and one from Istanbul Galataport.
- Tour times follow your ship's schedule, and your guide will wait if your ship is delayed.
- Both tours involve a fair amount of walking, so wear comfortable shoes.
- Dress modestly for the mosques: cover shoulders and knees, and women should bring a headscarf.
- Shoes are removed before entering a mosque, so wear a pair that slips off easily.

Everything was well planned, and the guides were very informative. The only minor issue was the crowd at major sites, which made it difficult to take photos. Otherwise, we had a fantastic time.

Thank you, Turco Travel, for a great experience. Our guide Mehmet made history come alive.

A truly unforgettable experience! We learned so much about Turkish history and culture. The Grand Bazaar was a fun way to end the day.
