Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We did a private tour of Ephesus, The Terrace Houses and Sirince Vilalge and it was an amazing day and the views in Sirince were great. We really enjoyed Ephesus and the terrace houses. The private tour was by far one of the best we have ever had, and was comparable to the larger ship tours.
The guide was very flexible being a private vehicle they would stop anywhere we asked them to. It was amazing experience with these great people.
Outstanding! this seemed like an expensive side trip but it was worth every cent. Highly Recommended.
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.
Turkey Ephesus is an amazing must see destination!. I was glad I went with a guide as she knew a wealth of information that couldn’t be found just by walking around by ourselves. Thanks
Este era un atractivo casi se me pasa, pero mi vuelo lo recomendó. Estoy tan contento de haber ido! La visita de las ruinas fue bastante espectacular y amplio, con una re-promulgación de los gladiadores al final de la excursión. Las ruinas fueron de cerca, no acordonada y la verdad es que se podían tocar!!! Yo estaba especialmente enamorado de la biblioteca ruinas no en todas partes se pueden tocar aca incluso nos piden que toquemos las ruinas por que dicen que se siente y entiende diferente, tambien quiero aprovechar de dar las gracias a todos que trabajaron para hacer este tour privado inolvidable. Tambien quiero recomendar este tour por que realmente aparte de ser comodo es muy economico ademas tambien existe la opcion de hacerlo a la manera que uno quiere puede cambiar las horas de entrada y salida a los museos o cambiarlas por la hora de almuerzo, no hay que olvidar que la comida turca es muy rica yo ya la habia probado antes pero no tanta variedad alla en turquia fue un descontrol 🙂 creo que subi mucho de peso pero la verad lo vale a concho, ademas de eso despues de la excurcion compre un libro de cocina turca y en castellano para seguir haciendolo en mi casa. como dije al principio gracias a todas las personas que hicieron posible esta magica visita a efeso….
A fabulous day! Thank you
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
excellent tour..
les dejo un pequeno dato que espero les sirva de algo; las personas que viajan a otros paises y a turquia creen que un tour privado es mucho mas caro e incluso el doble mas caro que lo normal pero les informo que eso es un error un tour privado es mucho mas barato… yo coji este tour privado de dia completo y creanme que me salio mucho menos de lo que cuesta viajar con 50 personas…. disfruten de este tour vale la pena
