Instead of taking the ships tour we booked a private tour and it was a great day.
Ephesus was a great place to visit whe have a wonderful day.
I highly recommend them, you will not regret it.
This was my favorite private tour of the trip, thank you
We had a very nice lunch there as part of the tour a super experience I highly recommend this tour
The van was comfortable, the driver was careful and always timely with pick ups. It was a wonderful experience.
Thank you Yesim for an incredible time. Your knowledge is most impressive. For anyone who reads this and is planning a trip to Turkey, you can not go wrong with using this company. We were never rushed or pressured into buying anything and even got to see a fashion show. This is something I never thought I would enjoy but it was pretty cool. When going to Ephesus do not miss out on the Terrace Houses they are most impressive and unbelievable. They are the homes of the very rich of the day with indoor hot and cold water, heated homes, indoor bathrooms and even a sauna with heated floors. The rug making tour was very cool, the lunch was awsome and got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Thanks
We did a private tour of Ephesus, The Terrace Houses and Sirince Vilalge and it was an amazing day and the views in Sirince were great. We really enjoyed Ephesus and the terrace houses. The private tour was by far one of the best we have ever had, and was comparable to the larger ship tours.
Great tour, excellent guide, fantastic would highly recommend
