Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Ephesus tours was fantastic. they picked us up at the ship and we began a day of absolute perfection. we had toured Ephesus before on a prior cruise and used the tour from the cruise line. This time around wanted a more personal feel to our tour. There were specific places we wanted to visit and places we wanted to go back too.
I would go back and do the same tour all over again. the amount of history, customs and real life experiences we recieved made it a very special day.
This is a realy great tour,. the car was new and very clean, the guide well spoken and knowledgeable.
great ephesus was very exciting our tour guide was very experienced
Great. Knowledgable guide. Would recommend a full day at Ephesus so that you aren’t rushed. I only saw the front of the Terrace houses on the half day ephesus tour.
Well organized, tour, we can really recommend this tour.
A private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
