Crystal Cruises passengers enjoying a private concert in Ephesus arranged with our local Transbalkan Travel partners:
“It was an amazing night. The concert is located at Ephesus, Kusadasi, Turkey. It was during the Crystal Cruise trip where I take this excursion. Having a private concert (only to a limited seat) in this very historic place, makes this night SUPER amazing. special thanks to crystal cruise who makes this all possible.”

Private Cruise Ship Shore Excursions in Greece & Turkey
The cruise regular shore excursion are generally a good introduction to the city, most of the seasoned cruise travelers prefer to go sightseeing with a private guide.
The difference between ship organized and private tours is best described as “package versus tailor-made.” Some people may feel all right joining a large tour group whereas sometimes it is difficult to hear the guide and the group moves only as fast as its slowest participant.
Others may not get their questions answered at all as there may be twenty other people in the group trying to do the same.
In contrast, a small tour group with tailor-made program is way more enjoyable and ensures personal attention for everyone. You will spend as much time as you want.
Therefore, if you want to maximize your limited time, the private escorted tour tailored to your unique wishes and interests is an ideal solution.
All our private shore excursions tours are carefully designed to give you the best possible experience. Our knowledgeable, friendly and qualified tour guide and driver will ensure that your visit ashore is truly memorable. When you tour with us in Turkey as part of a private shore excursion, your tour guide will get you into sites without waiting in lines that is especially valuable given the limited time you have to spend in Turkey.
