Thank you very much for your recommendation.
We had a wonderful time and everything was a great.
Great private tour. Our guide Koksal was terrific and we were oicked up and dropped off at the port of Kusadasi. Definitely recommend.
highly recommend..
Though the economically-built cover makes the visit comfortable, it really distracts from the visual enjoyment of these beautifully-preserved ruins. One can imagine the life of well-off families living here in those times. Taking photos here is facilitated by the well-planned elevated walkways. Carrying a small digital camera makes it easier to take some photos one-handed in between the scaffolds.
Restored by the Austrian and Turkish governments, these homes were for the top tier wealthy individuals that lived in Ephesus. They had running water, and sewer systems, very advanced for that era.
We cannot recommend this tour enough. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
We booked a private tour of Ephesus from our cruise ship. The tour guide and that air conditioned van made a huge difference.
We had a marvellous time. all the things and surprises they are really too amazing.
