Several factors made this all day tour of Ephesus well worth the money. knowledgable guide, delicious lunch, and plenty of time to enjoy the sights. I recommend this tour.
We had a marvellous time. all the things and surprises they are really too amazing.
We had a wonderful time and everything was a great.
una de las cosas que mas me gusto del tour privado fue que las van son realmente muy confortables y son de lujo ademas el guia que tuvimos fue muy bueno ya que hablaba espanol y se veia que conocia muy bien el lugar tenia mucho conocimiento de la historia se su pais que no nos quedo ninguna duda sobre lo que vimos… eso fue lo que corresponde a la comodidad y de el tour fue efeso y la casa de la virgen maria dentro de efeso estan las casas terrazas se ve que eran casas de lujo me gusto bastante, efeso es una antigua ciudad que la verdad me parece que esta en muy buen estado lo bueno es que siguen las excavciones espero que cuando vuelva a ir .. cosa que hare lo mas pronto posible es que vere mas cosas ya desenterradas de las ruinas…

Travelled to turkey last week and decided to book a private tour for my family, it was excelled. Brilliant sites and ruins, tour guide spoke brilliant English and was a lot of fun.
We spent the day in Ephesus with our guide Irem. She was excellent! She went with us in to the sites and explained what we were seeing. Turkey is absolutely beautiful and a place I would love to visit again. We toured the ruins in Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary, and the church of St. John. We could have done without the carpet shop and leather factory, but overall the day was perfect. Our lunch was very good and was included in the price of the tour. I would definitely recommend this for those of you with a one day stop in Turkey on a cruise ship.
a very enjoyable half day,would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
My husband and I booked a private tour of Ephesus while we were in port for one day. We didn’t really like the tours offered by our cruise ship, so we opted for a customized tour. It only cost us about $20 more. Highly recommend.
