It is really worth seeing. Restroom facilities at the entry are limited and very crowded. There are also restrooms near the exit and they are not crowded.
cando tomamos el tour en el puerto de esmirna la verdad no me esperaba tanta atencion nos trataron muy bien el guia y el chofer ademas me di cuenta que todo el mundo alla en turquia es asi compre una botella de agua y te invitan a tomar un te o unas delicias turca que a todo esto realmente son delicias hay miles de sabores…. el guia hablaba muy bien espanol y hasta nos botaba bromas en espanol el chofer no creo que entendiese pero estuvo con una sonrisa todas las horas que estuvimos con el ademas que se preocupaba que el coche estuviese bien temperado nos ayudaba a subir y a bajar ya que somos personas de una edad mas avanzada… en efeso creo que nos demoramos mas de lo que demoran las personas pero como dije somos viejos y apesar de todo el guia fue muy pasiente con nosotros y le agradesere simpre lo que hizo por nosotros en esas pocas horas me fui muy contenta del tour y que bueno que contratamos ese tour privado de efeso y la casa de la virgen maria ademas tambien nos llevo a el templo de artemision o artemisa que estaba tambien a un par de minutos de efeso casi al llegar a pueblo de selcuk luego fuimos a un restourante muy tipico de la region la comida muy buena le pidio a el director del restorante que nos dieran comidas sin sal y cosas asi la atencion fue muy buena en todas partes espero que contraten el mismo tour privado y veran que lo disfrutaran son muy buenos en lo que hacen en mi pais tambien hay turismo pero creo que no estamos tan preparados para resivir a los turistas de esa manera creo que somos mas incapaces de eso pero aca se ganan el dinero con mucho sacrificio y como dije les recomiendo encarecidamente este tour privado de dia completo o de medio dia nosotros con mi marido hicimos los dos en dos epocas diferentes del anho tanto en invierno como en verano la verdad la mejor fue en verano ya que todo esta muy verdecito…. si nada mas que agregar ademas de agradecer todo lo que hicieron por nosotros me despido a la distancia con gran abrazo y un saludo a todos los que hicieron de estas vacaciones inolvidables…
My husband and I had arranged the tour in advance of our arrival by cruise ship. We made the arrangements via e-mail and all of our questions were responded to quickly and professionally. We were at the cruise terminal 25 minutes before our agreed upon time and Yesim our guide was already there.
It was a wonderful private tour, Yesim is good guide with a lot information, very charming and friendly, We will certainly recommend your company to our friends.
A private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
Nous avons eu la chance de visiter cet endroit avec un guide passionné et qui a su tenir en haleine petits et grands avec anecdotes et faits historiques.
Le lieu est superbe, et même si bondé, notre plaisir n’en a pas été gâché. Nous avons été fascinés par la beauté et la magie du lieu. La visite se fait dans le sens de la descente et l’apothéose en est la bibliothèque de Celsius admirablement bien conservée. L’amphithéâtre qui pouvait accueillir jusqu’à 24 000 personnes est à couper le souffle également. Le plus rapidement possible nous en ephèse de nouveau très beau le tour privé et les guides les je recommande sont très bons dans son travail
our ephesus tour was one of the highlights
Thank you very much for your recommendation.
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.
Definitely worth the money to get the private tour.
This is good value for money, we were picked up and dropped off to the port. Our mistake was only taking the half day tour. Ephesus only needs a minimum 4 hour.
