Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Awesome! Again, this is something that must be seen! Hard to imagine this type and size of city existed almost 2 thousand years ago. Many stairs and steps so be advised….
I booked a private tour for 8 people for a one day cruise stop in November, at the port of izmir my booking was done through email.
The tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Terrace houses was incredible. A fabulous day! Thank you.
INCREDIBLE!! If you are in Epheses you MUST add this to your tour. Absolutely breathtaking.
In my opinion, this is the only way to see Ephesus. Would totally recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Ephesus. well worth the money
We spent a good amount of time at ancient ephesus and house of terraces and I can tell you, a private tour is the way to go. There were many group tours that would crowd around their guide to get a glimpse of what he/she was pointing out. With a private tour, you are able to set the pace with your guide and skip what you aren’t that interested in. We also visited the House of the St Mary, Temple of Artemis. It was a full day that did not disappoint and well worth the expense.
I would definitely recommend this tour!
Excellent. Pick up on time. Selcuk our guide, very knowledgeable. Fabulous lunch. Well done.
el tour privado de medio dia me vino como anillo al dedo ya que no tenia mucho por que tome un crusero desde mi pais a izmirna y fue toda una travesia me gusto mucho el coche era de lojo todo fue perfecto gracias a tods….
el tour privado de medio dia es ideal para las personas que no tienen mucho tiempo o por que el crusero es de medio dia en kusadasi pero la verdad es suficiente para ver efeso la casa de la virgen maria y ademas recorrer un poco el centro de la ciudad lo recomiendo de todo corazon ya que vale la pena y no es caro
Great private tour. It really made visiting ephesus easy.door to door service. I took the deluxe full day tour which was very informative. There’s a lot to see and I’m glad I had a full day and a great guide.
