Ephesus was a great place to visit whe have a wonderful day.
I sent emails asking for prices and options to create a private tour for our shore excursion. I was able to take a standard tour and customize it and it was less than half the price of the group tour shore excursion offered by our cruise. We met our private guide and driver as soon as we got off the ship. We first started with a drive out to the Virgin Mary’s House. Along the drive, we learned some interesting facts about the region and Turkey in general. Then, we reached Mary’s house and toured the site very interesting. Then it was off to Ephesus where we had a leisurely and informative tour through the amazing ruins. Make sure to get the added tour of the terrace houses. This is the most well preserved ancient ruins ever discovered.
Then it was off to St John’s Basilica and the Temple of Artimis to finish the tour. The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this private tour the price was very reasonable.
We had a wonderful time and thank you so much for everything.
The guides were all professional, knowledgeable and personable.
We all love a old little beautiful village, ephesus and virgin marys house was absolutely fabulous.
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…
