It was a great day with so much to see in such a beautiful, clean city!
Our guide was a great guide full of historical knowledge as well as answering questions about the land and people.
I especially liked the little village Sirence that we visited. The people were so friendly and the village gave us the opportunity to purchase gifts to take home that were handmade.
We booked a half day deluxe ephesus tour with this company which went off without a hitch, meeting all of our expectations our guide was the charming yesim whose english was very good she did her best to move us away from the crowds at various points at ephesus and gave clear explanations of the many wonderful exhibits there terrace houses and celsus library. We also went to the house of virgin Mary
All in all, a very enjoyable half day. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
I was very glad we choose private tour to ephesus. Thanks
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.
We had a very nice lunch there as part of the tour a super experience I highly recommend this tour

Thank you very much for your recommendation.
Although I love railway museums often our companions are less than enthralled. This though is different, truly magnificent number and variety of locomotives displayed in a garden / park environment. So much so that on our visit newly weds were having their photos taken there.
We had a terrific day our tour was flawlessly performed from start to finish.
