The scenery was breathtaking, enjoyed every minute of it. The Microlight was very comfortable and the scenic flight was great value for money and great friendly and experienced pilot.
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
We started the day by visiting Ephesus and went into the back entrance, which was incredibly smart because it meant we were going against the crowds and that we had the wonderful amphitheater mostly to ourselves. Our price included all entrance fees, including into the Terrace Houses, which were definitely a highlight of the day and the House of Virgin Mary.
We enjoyed our day, learned a lot, and felt the price to be very fair. Many on our cruise ship simply took Royal Caribbean’s shore excursion and missed out on several of the things we saw…
would strongly recommend
Again perfect timing. Our guide gave us details along the way of various historical facts. Very friendly and courteous. Would recommend deluxe ephesus tour. Thanks
出发前,我們討論是参加預約旅遊或是来个自助陆游。参加了由導遊柯克薩爾所带领的伊弗所一游,证明預約遊覽是最好的決定。而且,午餐相当可口.
