Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Best tour ever! So much to see and our guide was the absolute best very well spoken and she was an archeologist she really knew her facts.
Our day went perfectly, our guide was open and flexible to letting us tour at our own pace and we always seemed at least two steps ahead of the large tour groups..
Outstanding! this seemed like an expensive side trip but it was worth every cent. Highly Recommended.
estoy aca para recomendar de todo corazon el tour privado que entrega esta empresa realmente es un privilegio tener todo un equipo a tu disposicion un buen guia que realmente sabe tu idioma un coche de lujo y el tour muy bien organizado… como dije es un tour que recomiendo de todo corazon.
It was a great day with so much to see in such a beautiful, clean city!
Our guide was a great guide full of historical knowledge as well as answering questions about the land and people.
I especially liked the little village Sirence that we visited. The people were so friendly and the village gave us the opportunity to purchase gifts to take home that were handmade.
It is really worth seeing. Restroom facilities at the entry are limited and very crowded. There are also restrooms near the exit and they are not crowded.
We loved our personal guided small group trip to Ephesus Turkey. Lunch was included with this pkg and was very good. Thanks
Thank you very much – we had a great time!
our guide and we enjoyed the entire day very knowledgeable and made our tour special she is able to get you ahead of the bus loads of people coming to the sites saw alot of the countryside we otherwise would not have seen in a very comfortable setting the lunch outdoors was good and a nice way to experience this part of turkey
We would not have enjoyed Turkey as much as we did if we had not taken this tour. The tour picked us up at the cruise terminal. We knew the sites we were going visit but our tour guide suggested the order to visit that would suit us best.
