a wonderful guide and a driver
We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thanks
Thank you very much for the Mystery Tours
I was very glad we choose private tour to ephesus. Thanks
Yesim was interesting, informative and a wonderful guide. Our entire family enjoyed the day. Yesim made adjustments for our daughter’s unexpected injury and wheelchair. We could not have seen ephesus on our own because of logistics and in hindsight we are glad we booked the day trip. Our three teenagers had fun and we were glad to hear Yesim explanations.

I have never had a better tour guide than Selcuk Senkan. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS
The tour began at approximately 8:30 and we were told it would be approximately 5 hours. We did not arrive back to port until after 2:30, so it made for a very long day.
Ephesus foi uma das 12 cidades de Jonia (antiga região grega na costa oeste da Ásia Menor). Na antiguidade foi uma grande cidade (a segunda maior do Império Romano, por muitos anos), porto de partida para o comércio na região e conhecida por seus santuários sagrados. Foi uma das Sete Igrejas da Ásia citadas no livro do Apocalipse. O Evangelho de São João pode ter sido escrito na cidade, onde o cristianismo mais se difundiu. As escavações no local tiveram início em 1863 e, de lá para cá, têm revelado muitas construções antigas, incluindo templos, casas, edifícios públicos, igrejas e um magnífico teatro.
O atendimento dos funcionários é muito bom, especialmente na loja de suvenires – todos falam inglês fluente e são bastante atenciosos.
Os ônibus de turismo nos deixam próximos da entrada principal. Explorar Ephesus significa estar disposto a uma caminhada de pelo menos 2 horas, ruas abaixo. À medida em que descemos, mais surpresas temos, pois o melhor, está no final do passeio.
Vale a pena conhecer! Caminhar pela rua principal, ver as ruínas do Templo de Adriano, o grande Anfiteatro, a Biblioteca de Celso e outras construções que ainda estão sendo reveladas, é surpreendente! As escavações estão revelando, lentamente, como era a vida nesta cidade.
A visita é indescritível. Para quem gosta de História, é imperdível. eu goste de tudo voltaremos o mais rapido posible em esse ano… obrigado agencia obrigado guia fico tudo bem…
