Mi esposa y yo hicimos una excursión en Éfeso y fue una experiencia excelente. Nos recibieron en el puerto del cruceros de Izmir deniz y el conductor. deniz habla un castellano perfecto y es muy amable y profesional. La furgoneta era espacioso muy limpio y cómodo. Los paquetes de información que tenían eran grandes y varios pequeños souvenirs se incluyeron. Nosotros elegimos visitar las principales ruinas de Éfeso y el Templo de Artemisa. Fue todo muy increíble
Thank you very much for your recommendation.
