Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Our day went perfectly, our guide was open and flexible to letting us tour at our own pace and we always seemed at least two steps ahead of the large tour groups..
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.
our guide and we enjoyed the entire day very knowledgeable and made our tour special she is able to get you ahead of the bus loads of people coming to the sites saw alot of the countryside we otherwise would not have seen in a very comfortable setting the lunch outdoors was good and a nice way to experience this part of turkey
We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tour.
We will definitely be back to Turkey! Thank you very much we really had a great time.
a very enjoyable half day,would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
Nous avons eu la chance de visiter cet endroit avec un guide passionné et qui a su tenir en haleine petits et grands avec anecdotes et faits historiques.
Le lieu est superbe, et même si bondé, notre plaisir n’en a pas été gâché. Nous avons été fascinés par la beauté et la magie du lieu. La visite se fait dans le sens de la descente et l’apothéose en est la bibliothèque de Celsius admirablement bien conservée. L’amphithéâtre qui pouvait accueillir jusqu’à 24 000 personnes est à couper le souffle également. Le plus rapidement possible nous en ephèse de nouveau très beau le tour privé et les guides les je recommande sont très bons dans son travail
