Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
our ephesus tour was one of the highlights
In Izmir, we were picked up right at the cruise ship at the appointed time and boarded a large van for just the four of us. You can book the tour on-line ahead of time, and you can pick and choose the sights you want to see. Overall, more reasonable than the ship tours, and a lot more flexibility, this tour company is great.
Highly recommend for his expertise and a positive can do attitude. The shops are generally too small to allow a wheelchair inside, but some goods are displayed outside.
在导游的精彩的介绍中，我和家人觉得仿佛我们回到了2千年前的古希腊和古罗曼时代。诺大的剧场，公共澡堂，还有藏书万卷的图书馆。真是不虚此行！
I’ve been to Ephesus before but have only done the half day tour so really wanted to spend the day there and see more. The tour was well-organised and really nice as we were in a small group which allowed us to ask lots of questions to our guide. I think if you go to Ephesus do the deluxe full day tour so you can see the Terrace Houses and House of Virgin Mary which is fascinating!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thanks
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!
We greatly enjoyed our half day tour I definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
The van was comfortable, the driver was careful and always timely with pick ups. It was a wonderful experience.
Exellent, the guide, gave us (smal group of 6 persons) very detailed information about the ephesus. We couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience and would highly recommend both the tour and Selcuk to anyone visiting Ephesus.
