Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We had a wonderful time and thank you so much for everything.
This was one of the best and most economical tours of our cruise and we certainly recommend that anyone visiting kusadasi consider this tour.
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable.
we had a great guide with good knowledge and fun.. library and theatre at ephesus was great.. and Virgin Mary House was impressive.. It is a not to be missed atraction in Turkey.thanks all…
Je n’ai jamais vu de site gréco-romain aussi bien conservé… C’est incroyable, on s’imagine parfaitement la ville telle qu’elle était à l’époque d’Auguste. La bibliothèque est une merveille, et l’amphitéâtre est époustouflant – il s’agit du plus grand au monde. Prenez un chapeau + crème solaire, car il y a peu de zones d’ombre!
Visited as part of our Adriatic & Aegean cruise. Docked in Kusadasi and this provided a short driving tour of the area around the Ephesus site.
Buy one of the books that descibes the site as a helpful resource. The site accepts only Turkish Lira or credit card payments. There is a museum in the adjacent community where many of the original artifacts are housed. The site can become crowded during the peak tourist season and is open air so if it is hot, you’ll be out in the sun the whole time.
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.
We would not have enjoyed Turkey as much as we did if we had not taken this tour. The tour picked us up at the cruise terminal. We knew the sites we were going visit but our tour guide suggested the order to visit that would suit us best.
the ruins of the ancient city of ephesus are a mustsee for people visiting turkey they are difficult to get to so it’s best to go by private tour.
