Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We all love a old little beautiful village, ephesus and virgin marys house was absolutely fabulous.
Este era un atractivo casi se me pasa, pero mi vuelo lo recomendó. Estoy tan contento de haber ido! La visita de las ruinas fue bastante espectacular y amplio, con una re-promulgación de los gladiadores al final de la excursión. Las ruinas fueron de cerca, no acordonada y la verdad es que se podían tocar!!! Yo estaba especialmente enamorado de la biblioteca ruinas no en todas partes se pueden tocar aca incluso nos piden que toquemos las ruinas por que dicen que se siente y entiende diferente, tambien quiero aprovechar de dar las gracias a todos que trabajaron para hacer este tour privado inolvidable. Tambien quiero recomendar este tour por que realmente aparte de ser comodo es muy economico ademas tambien existe la opcion de hacerlo a la manera que uno quiere puede cambiar las horas de entrada y salida a los museos o cambiarlas por la hora de almuerzo, no hay que olvidar que la comida turca es muy rica yo ya la habia probado antes pero no tanta variedad alla en turquia fue un descontrol 🙂 creo que subi mucho de peso pero la verad lo vale a concho, ademas de eso despues de la excurcion compre un libro de cocina turca y en castellano para seguir haciendolo en mi casa. como dije al principio gracias a todas las personas que hicieron posible esta magica visita a efeso….
We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thanks
I would recommend a private guided tour even though there are signs with explanations all along the way.
