Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
My husband and I booked a halfday private tour. This tour company was extremely professional right from the beginning, with excellent information and service. We would highly recommend this company.
En el momento en que llegamos a Éfeso, habíamos visitado algunas ruinas magníficas por Turquía. Pero habíamos visto nada en la escala de Éfeso. Uno puede imaginarse la vitalidad de la ciudad, la gente realizando sus actividades cotidianas, los niños jugando en las calles.
Esta ciudad era tan vistoso: las esculturas, fuentes, estatuas. La biblioteca es el punto culminante, dominando las ruinas. Por desgracia, el teatro estaba rodeado de alambre, que tardó lejos de la historia. Las letrinas fueron una vista para contemplar.
Caminamos por estas ruinas durante unas horas, y nos alegramos de no haber estado en un grupo grande , ya que parecían ir y venir sin mayor detalle como te lo da el tour privado que contratamos nosotros
We all had a great time, plenty to see and do. What a wonderful day, thank you so much.

What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
Those with air sick, please prepare yourself before going on this Microlight tour !
On the whole Ephesus is a fantastic place to visit but my tour was disappointing due to a rushed timeline and missing attraction.
We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tour.
We were very pleased with our tour to Ephesus and the Terrace Houses for sure, include this in your tour!! We were concerned because we requested it only about 5 days before we left for our cruise. They responded very quickly and we confirmed the reservation. We also appreciated that we were able to pay after the trip, so we did not have to worry about paying then no one showing up.
efeso la casa de la virgen maria fue todo maravilloso la verdad la antigua ciudad de efeso era realmente magica es magnifica la biblioteca es sorprendente es muy grande las casas terrazas fueron mis favoritas no entiendo como en esos tiempos tenian tanta imaginacion para hacer las cosas imaginence que en mi casa ni si quiera hay terrazas 🙂 hacemos un edificio y se nos cae en tres minutos y la biblioteca lleva anos y cientos de temblores y aun sigue intacta 🙂 la verdad si comenzara a explicar realmente que vi y que impresiones me lleve terminaria manana es magica la casa de la virgen maria es un lugar para descanzar el alma un lugar notable esta ubicada a un par de kilometros de efeso solamente pero esta dentro del bosque todo muy tranquilo verde nos encontramos una misa con un padre de la region como les dije todo fue muy espiritual y nos tomamos nuestro tiempo para rezar y reflexionar y el guia tuvo una pasciencia muy grande con nosotros no nos apresuro para nada era como si nosotros fueramos los duenos del tour 🙂 …. no me queda nada mas que decir que el tour privado de efeso por el dia completo queda 100 :% recomendado muchas gracias por ese maravilloso dia que nos entregaron…..
