I sent emails asking for prices and options to create a private tour for our shore excursion. I was able to take a standard tour and customize it and it was less than half the price of the group tour shore excursion offered by our cruise. We met our private guide and driver as soon as we got off the ship. We first started with a drive out to the Virgin Mary’s House. Along the drive, we learned some interesting facts about the region and Turkey in general. Then, we reached Mary’s house and toured the site very interesting. Then it was off to Ephesus where we had a leisurely and informative tour through the amazing ruins. Make sure to get the added tour of the terrace houses. This is the most well preserved ancient ruins ever discovered.
Then it was off to St John’s Basilica and the Temple of Artimis to finish the tour. The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this private tour the price was very reasonable.
Our tour guide Selcuk did a great job of taking us through Ephesus and describing the site. It was definitely much better than doing a large group tour. The bus met us at the port when our ship docked and they got us back in plenty of time to catch the ship prior to departure. Definitely worth the money to get the private tour.
We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tour.
We really felt that this tour was well worth the money, and would highly recommend Koksal as a guide.
our guide was excellent. Turkish lunch very good. I would book another tour with you. thanks
Emrah was fantastic. We had a wonderful trip and his commentary to and from Ephesus was fantastic.
Thought it was a guided tour but all ok for independent tour guide gave good instructions was excellent to have pick up and drop off recommended
It was a great tour planned to accommodate a hot day. Great value for money. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for the great day
Chegamos no Brasil, a verdade a Turquia foi um destino muito distante para nós, nesta viagem, visitamos a antiga cidade de Éfeso e a casa da Virgem Maria, para que nós não temos muito tempo, mas posso garantir-vos que vamos voltar e com toda a família Da próxima vez que ir a Éfeso, creio que vamos ter uma excursão de dia inteiro pra conhecer mais lugares que acho que com apenas uma vez que não é possível conhecer toda a cultura do lugar, nem compreender as coisas que foram feitas em Éfeso
Obrigado por tudo o que nos foi oferecido como uma agência de viagens e obrigado por nos dar um bom guia….
