Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We had a terrific day our tour was flawlessly performed from start to finish.
Ephesus tours was fantastic. they picked us up at the ship and we began a day of absolute perfection. we had toured Ephesus before on a prior cruise and used the tour from the cruise line. This time around wanted a more personal feel to our tour. There were specific places we wanted to visit and places we wanted to go back too.
I would go back and do the same tour all over again. the amount of history, customs and real life experiences we recieved made it a very special day.
Nuestro guía turístico nos ha llevado a Éfeso y la Casa de la Virgen María. Nuestro guía era muy conocedor y dispuestos a explicar la vida en Turquía. Disfrutamos de la comida y la vistas que hicimos en el lugar …
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.
This tour was less than the cruise tour. we had a fab..time. thx
The Virgin Mary’s home was interesting, but the tour of Ephesus was fascinating and very memorable. Fortunately our tour contact suggested we also visit the Terrace Homes, another great experience. Our guides were personable and gave us great insight into that period of time. We had a lunch of Turkish favorite dishes in a beautiful outdoor setting.
The places we visted were Mary’s House, Esphesus ruins, a pottery shop and a leather goods shop. We also stopped for lunch at a beautiful outdoor cafe. The food and the hospitality was great.
I cannot see how you can visit here without spending a full day via with a guide. A truly beautiful place worth the day. I love the ephesus is great.
There were 6 adults in our group. They picked us up at port they will bringing the wheelchair with. Very comfortable air conditioned vehicle. We had our own personal tour of Ephesus then a wonderful lunch. The site is difficult for wheelchairs due to the uneven marble road.
we had a great time at ephesus. lovely day 🙂
