We had a wonderful time and everything was a great.
Thanks so much for the great day, and we hope to see you again
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.
It is really worth seeing. Restroom facilities at the entry are limited and very crowded. There are also restrooms near the exit and they are not crowded.
My husband and I had arranged the tour in advance of our arrival by cruise ship. We made the arrangements via e-mail and all of our questions were responded to quickly and professionally. We were at the cruise terminal 25 minutes before our agreed upon time and Yesim our guide was already there.
It was a wonderful private tour, Yesim is good guide with a lot information, very charming and friendly, We will certainly recommend your company to our friends.
A great way to see Ephesus on a budget. Highly recommended.
The places we visted were Mary’s House, Esphesus ruins, a pottery shop and a leather goods shop. We also stopped for lunch at a beautiful outdoor cafe. The food and the hospitality was great.
