Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
our guide was excellent. Turkish lunch very good. I would book another tour with you. thanks
Our tour guide was waiting for us when our ship docked at kusudasi. We rode in a mercedes minivan for a 30 minute drive to Ephesus we spent a good amount of time at ephesus and house of terraces and I can tell you, a private tour is the way to go.
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 wonderful time and everything was a great.
We will definitely be back to Turkey! Thank you very much we really had a great time.
My husband and I had arranged the tour in advance of our arrival by cruise ship. We made the arrangements via e-mail and all of our questions were responded to quickly and professionally. We were at the cruise terminal 25 minutes before our agreed upon time and Yesim our guide was already there.
It was a wonderful private tour, Yesim is good guide with a lot information, very charming and friendly, We will certainly recommend your company to our friends.
These are the most spectacular ruins that we saw when visiting Turkey. If you visit the country and have limited time, these are the ruins that you should visit. There is a lot to see at these ruins and you should allow several hours. We thought that the entrance was awesome, however there were much better sights as we walked through the place.
la isla de kusadasi es realmente maravillosa lo mejor de todo es que con el guia que tuvimos aparte de hacer la visita a efeso y la casa de la virgen maria tambien nos mostro el centro de la ciudad me gusto mucho todo lo recomiendo de todas formas
thank you so much for an amazing trip
What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
