Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
I am very happy with the choice to take the small group to Ephesus. It was comfortable. A wonderful trip, great ride, nice people. Beware that even on a rainy day (as it was) the crowds are incredible and there are many large tour groups. But a sight to see in any weather. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your recommendation.
We cannot recommend this tour enough. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
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.
Our turkish guide, koksal, is a native of ephesus who speaks English and japanese he was outgoing, friendly, interested in his guests, and extremely knowledgeable of the history of ephesus. excellent
Our tour guide was waiting for us when our ship docked at kusudasi. We rode in a mercedes minivan for a 30 minute drive to Ephesus we spent a good amount of time at ephesus and house of terraces and I can tell you, a private tour is the way to go.
thank you so much for an amazing tripnks
