unforgettable day. thanks
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.
導遊到郵輪碼頭接了我們,并安排了有趣又充满知识的介绍。我可以说如果我們沒有参加這趟伊弗一游,我们的土耳其之旅就不会这么值得回味了。
highly recommend..
Excellent. Pick up on time. Selcuk our guide, very knowledgeable. Fabulous lunch. Well done.
Love it ! Ephesus is simply beautiful. We had no trouble understanding our guide. Lunch wasn’t fantastic but everything else is good!
We Just Wanted To Let You Know We Had A Wonderful Time. Ephesus Was Amazing !
I booked a private tour for 8 people for a one day cruise stop in November, at the port of izmir my booking was done through email.
The tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Terrace houses was incredible. A fabulous day! Thank you.
We booked a private tour of Ephesus from our cruise ship. The tour guide and that air conditioned van made a huge difference.
These are the most spectacular ruins that we saw when visiting Turkey. If you visit the country and have limited time, these are the ruins that you should visit. There is a lot to see at these ruins and you should allow several hours. We thought that the entrance was awesome, however there were much better sights as we walked through the place.
