We really enjoyed the trip. Thank you very much
It was a great day with so much to see in such a beautiful city
Ephesus tours was fantastic. they picked us up at the ship and we began a day of absolute perfection. we had toured Ephesus before on a prior cruise and used the tour from the cruise line. This time around wanted a more personal feel to our tour. There were specific places we wanted to visit and places we wanted to go back too.
I would go back and do the same tour all over again. the amount of history, customs and real life experiences we recieved made it a very special day.
Chegamos no Brasil, a verdade a Turquia foi um destino muito distante para nós, nesta viagem, visitamos a antiga cidade de Éfeso e a casa da Virgem Maria, para que nós não temos muito tempo, mas posso garantir-vos que vamos voltar e com toda a família Da próxima vez que ir a Éfeso, creio que vamos ter uma excursão de dia inteiro pra conhecer mais lugares que acho que com apenas uma vez que não é possível conhecer toda a cultura do lugar, nem compreender as coisas que foram feitas em Éfeso
Obrigado por tudo o que nos foi oferecido como uma agência de viagens e obrigado por nos dar um bom guia….
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!
This is a realy great tour,. the car was new and very clean, the guide well spoken and knowledgeable.
Olá, gostaria de dizer que foi tudo muito bom, tivemos um maravilhoso guia explicou-nos tudo como deve ser é que ele é uma pessoa que conhece o lugar, o carro era muito bom a comida era muito boa, o que eu gostei mais foi a casa da Virgem Maria Éfeso, eu gostei muito da biblioteca de Celso e o Coliseu, posso dizer que foi sem pensar que foi a melhor tour privado que eu vi na minha vida
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.
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable.
We cannot recommend this tour enough. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
