Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
well worth to visit, the terrace houses are interestin. loved ephesus itself.
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable.
The tour was very reasonably priced compared to those offered by our cruise ship. We really appreciated the personal touch only afforded by a small group tour. I would strongly suggest that anyone traveling to Ephesus. You won’t be disappointed.
Para mi lo mas importante en un viaje es la comodidad, en este tour privado lo encontre y a un nivel mucho mas alto de lo que me esperaba realmente el guia un amor de persona, la pasciencia que nos entrego fue maravillosa y nos explico todo y ademas en espanol ya saben que no en todos los paises se entrega este tipo de servicios pero aca si que la hay y en casi todos los idiomas. Espero sinceramente que algun dia vayan y veran que no se arrepentiran..
We booked a private tour of Ephesus from our cruise ship. The tour guide and that air conditioned van made a huge difference.
Our first ever micro lighting experience and what a place to do it.
We booked the 15min trip which was enough time to get a very different perspective of Ephesus.
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 generally book tours through the cruise line but are so glad we make the choice to do this private tour. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
I arranged a tour before going on a Mediterrian cruise. We did an amazing tour of Ephesus and Sirence village with the lovely and incredibly knowledgeable guide. Thank you for a memorable and informative day!
Ephesus tours was fantastic.
Driver was very friendly and knowledgable
