Thank you very much for the Mystery Tours
感謝导游夜薰小姐,你的知識是最令人印象深刻, 伊弗所一日游绝对值的.對於任何讀到這一點並正在計劃前往土耳其的人,参加這家公司所安排的旅遊绝对没错。一路上,我們从不需要赶行程或迫於壓力購買任何東西。我们甚至還見到一個時裝秀呢。謝謝
Ephesus – the city established in 10 BC is a must visit for anyone having an interest in history. What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
The site is surprisingly easy to access from Selcuk (5 km) or Kusadasi (15 km)
Be sure to take ample sun protection and water on the tour since one cannot get anything in the middle of the ruins,
Regards to Yesim and many thanks for a super day.
I would definitely recommend this tour!
We booked a private tour of Ephesus from our cruise ship. The tour guide and that air conditioned van made a huge difference.
Our tour guide was lovely – she spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. Thanks
our ephesus tour was one of the highlights
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.
