Ephesus is one of the most interesting of all the Greek cities on the Asia Minor Peninsula. We had a great tour. Thanks
We all love a old little beautiful village, ephesus and virgin marys house was absolutely fabulous.
Thought it was a guided tour but all ok for independent tour guide gave good instructions was excellent to have pick up and drop off recommended
We really enjoyed the trip. Thank you very much
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….
We had a very nice lunch there as part of the tour a super experience I highly recommend this tour
Our tour guide was waiting for us when our ship docked at kusudasi. We rode in a mercedes minivan for a 30 minute drive to Ephesus we spent a good amount of time at ephesus and house of terraces and I can tell you, a private tour is the way to go.
This ancient city has recently been excavated outside Izmir, Turkey. Very enlightening and really a must see when in Turkey. Wear comfortable shoes with a good grip as the roads can get very rough and slippery when wet. you will Need to use the bathrooms before you go in as it will take about two hours to see and there are no bathrooms once inside. The amphitheater and the grand library are amazing works are architecture which have withstood centuries and earthquakes and are still standing. great tour..highly recommended!!!
We had a wonderful time and everything was a great.
Ephesus was absolutely beautiful. My first time to Turkey and I’m so inlove with this beautiful city and all that it has to offer.
