Travelled to turkey last week and decided to book a private tour for my family, it was excelled. Brilliant sites and ruins, tour guide spoke brilliant English and was a lot of fun.
the ruins of the ancient city of ephesus are a mustsee for people visiting turkey they are difficult to get to so it’s best to go by private tour.
thank you so much for an amazing trip
well worth to visit, the terrace houses are interestin. loved ephesus itself.
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.
We had a very nice lunch there as part of the tour a super experience I highly recommend this tour
On the whole Ephesus is a fantastic place to visit but my tour was disappointing due to a rushed timeline and missing attraction.
My family and I visited Ephesus for the second time in two years, and we had a wonderful experience… Our guide Remzy was knowledgeable, accommodating, and did everything in his power to insure that we had a thoroughly enjoyable trip. While this was our second time to Ephesus, we learned so much more by being with him and listening to his explanation of the history of the area. To add further to our delight, he took us to a local Turkish restaurant for a traditional lunch that was delicious and very inexpensive. Overall, I would have to rate our experience as very satisfied and think that any group would be fortunate to have this tour. Additionally, we were met by a new and comfortable van with lots of space and a driver who was excellent.
La vérité que le tour privé de demi-journée était quelque peu fait pour mon vito la maison de la Vierge Marie et ephèse a été merveilleux
