I would definitely recommend this tour!
lunch was great, ephesus was a great place to visit we had a wonderful day.
we had a great trip thank you very much
We did a private tour of Ephesus, The Terrace Houses and Sirince Vilalge and it was an amazing day and the views in Sirince were great. We really enjoyed Ephesus and the terrace houses. The private tour was by far one of the best we have ever had, and was comparable to the larger ship tours.
We were travelling on a cruise ship with 3 couples and booked a private tour our tour guide seemed to get us to each place before the big crowds arrived thanks.
Sea un tour de medio dia o de dia completo creanme que realmente es una de las experiencias mas maravillos que puede vivir un ser humano, la historia, cultura,emocion y la sensacion que da el estar en ese lugar realmente es unica… la verdad yo les recomiendo un tour privado porque??? es mi segunda vez en turquia la primera fue con un grupo de 40 personas no fue malo pero a mi y mi mujer nos gustan las cosas un poco exlusivas por eso tomamos un tour privado y la verdad vimos las diferencias de negro a blanco es una atencion muy esmerada la que entrega tu guia conductor y la calidad de los coches que realmente a cada persona que conosco le recomiendo tomar un tour privado para visitar efeso….
Terrace Houses was great,
Travelled to turkey last week and decided to book a private tour for my family, it was excelled. Brilliant sites and ruins, tour guide spoke brilliant English and was a lot of fun.
My husband and I booked a private tour of Ephesus while we were in port for one day. We didn’t really like the tours offered by our cruise ship, so we opted for a customized tour. It only cost us about $20 more. Highly recommend.
