The trip was very well organized and our guide was excellent. We didn’t have to wait in long lines even though the ephesus was crowded. Our guide was very knowlegable and the little mini-headsets made the tour most enjoyable.
This was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide Gokhan was sensational. He provided great wit and information. Ephesus is a enchanting place to visit and will blow you mind. Lunch was really nice at the restaurant too. A real must!
Our tour guide Selcuk did a great job of taking us through Ephesus and describing the site. It was definitely much better than doing a large group tour. The bus met us at the port when our ship docked and they got us back in plenty of time to catch the ship prior to departure. Definitely worth the money to get the private tour.
Ephesus was a great place to visit whe have a wonderful day.
The tour of the ruins was quite spectacular and extensive, with a re-enactment of the gladiators at the end of the tour. The ruins were up-close, not roped off, and you could actually touch them! I was especially enamored with the library ruins.
聖約翰大教堂是一座位于以弗所得宏偉的教堂,后人相信是建在聖約翰的墓地上。个人认为学建筑的一定会对这教堂感兴趣。
We did not find the visit an intrusion, but rather an experience that we all enjoyed, and it was not very long. We had booked a deluxe half day tour, but we were all tired, but felt that the day had been well worth it, Ephesus was fantastic,
WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS
