Nous avons eu la chance de visiter cet endroit avec un guide passionné et qui a su tenir en haleine petits et grands avec anecdotes et faits historiques.
Le lieu est superbe, et même si bondé, notre plaisir n’en a pas été gâché. Nous avons été fascinés par la beauté et la magie du lieu. La visite se fait dans le sens de la descente et l’apothéose en est la bibliothèque de Celsius admirablement bien conservée. L’amphithéâtre qui pouvait accueillir jusqu’à 24 000 personnes est à couper le souffle également. Le plus rapidement possible nous en ephèse de nouveau très beau le tour privé et les guides les je recommande sont très bons dans son travail
This is good value for money, we were picked up and dropped off to the port. Our mistake was only taking the half day tour. Ephesus only needs a minimum 4 hour.
We had a half day tour of the ruins of Ephesus. We had a great time. Thanks
This tour was less than the cruise tour. we had a fab..time. thx
Ephesus was a great place to visit whe have a wonderful day.
Ephesus was our favorite port of call. Our guide was extremely courteous, knowledgeable about everything from antiquities, to agriculture, and even funny the tour is much less expensive than the ship offerings and far superior in terms of attention.
The tour began at approximately 8:30 and we were told it would be approximately 5 hours. We did not arrive back to port until after 2:30, so it made for a very long day.
This was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide Gokhan was sensational. He provided great wit and information. Ephesus is a enchanting place to visit and will blow you mind. Lunch was really nice at the restaurant too. A real must!
The best of all the tours we did. The AC van, guide, driver, and lunch excellent.
This tour was very interesting and well presented. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable as well as good English speaking. I highly recommend this tour.
