It was a great day with so much to see in such a beautiful city
I would highly recommend great experience to anyone, and I am pleased to say that I had a great time
WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS
Highly recommended I loved
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.
This was an attraction I almost passed on, but my flight attendant recommended it. I am so glad I went! The tour of the ruins was quite spectacular and extensive, with a re-enactment of the gladiators at the end of the tour. The ruins were up-close, not roped off, and you could actually touch them!!! I was especially enamored with the library ruins.
We had a half day tour of the ruins of Ephesus. We had a great time. Thanks
Ephesus – the city established in 10 BC is a must visit for anyone having an interest in history. What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
The site is surprisingly easy to access from Selcuk (5 km) or Kusadasi (15 km)
Be sure to take ample sun protection and water on the tour since one cannot get anything in the middle of the ruins,
These guys were great. My wife drug me kicking and screaming to do this. The whole operation was top notch. Instructors were top notch, made you feel comfortable and loads of fun to be around..Skydiving is recommended.
We had a Mercedes van and were very comfortable. I highly recommend this tour…
