I would recommend a private guided tour even though there are signs with explanations all along the way.
We will definitely be back to Turkey! Thank you very much we really had a great time.
The guide was very flexible being a private vehicle they would stop anywhere we asked them to. It was amazing experience with these great people.
We were travelling on a cruise ship with 3 couples and booked a private tour. Our tour guide Yesim was great! She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had. Even though it was very crowded in Ephesus, Yesim seemed to get us to each place before the big crowds arrived! We would definitely recommend this company and tour guide, and Turkey of course!
Fuimos en diciembre que supuestamente es uno de los meses de temporada baja debido al clima frío, y era bastante bloody frío con luz llovizna, pero porque estaba justo después de Navidad, el lugar estaba bastante lleno. No me puedo imaginar lo que es durante la temporada alta. Pero si tienes paciencia suficiente, es posible que puedes conseguir fotos de un lugar quieres simplemente por ti mismo.Si tienes paciencia, puede tomar un gran cuadro o dos de la hermosa Celsus Biblioteca dentro de esta antigua ciudad gratis, o casi gratis, de otros viajeros o turistas, pero tienes que ser paciente. Quizás esto es imposible durante la temporada de verano jaja …
Tras la Celsus Biblioteca, podrá caminar a lo largo de la calle de mármol y encontrará algún tipo de construcción/sitio de extracción a la derecha. parece prohibido entrar, obviamente, por razones de seguridad, pero he visto un par de turistas entrar a escondidas y tomar el camino bastante empinada esta estructura prohibida y estoy seguro la vista desde allí es bastante increíble. Si intenta valiente, que no oír desde aquí …
Fui con mis parientes aquí y, como algunos de ellos no son muy aficionados a la historia y están más interesados en los espectaculares paisajes naturales, Éfeso es algo interesante, pero no está tan bien como otras atracciones en Turquía para ellos. la verdad vale a cien porciento todo centavo pagado
Excellent tour and yesim was a wonderful guide!
Mi esposa y yo hicimos una excursión en Éfeso y fue una experiencia excelente. Nos recibieron en el puerto del cruceros de Izmir deniz y el conductor. deniz habla un castellano perfecto y es muy amable y profesional. La furgoneta era espacioso muy limpio y cómodo. Los paquetes de información que tenían eran grandes y varios pequeños souvenirs se incluyeron. Nosotros elegimos visitar las principales ruinas de Éfeso y el Templo de Artemisa. Fue todo muy increíble
I also wrote about the remarkable Slope Houses in my review of Ephesus. Visitors should definitely pay the extra fee to visit them as it's an extraordinary opportunity to see an archeological site in action from such great vantage points. You can actually wander through the multi-level site and observe archeologists at work on beautiful mosaic floors.
The best of all the tours we did. The AC van, guide, driver, and lunch excellent.
