como dice el eslogan disfruta de la libertad de el tour privado… yo creo que lo dice por todas las posibilidades que te entregan en ella de dia completo puede ser de medio dia cualquiera de las dos realmente valen la pena hasta el ultimo centavo que se paga ya que la calidad de guias y los coches son de lujo el guia en el idioma que tu quieras por ejemplo en castellano fue muy bueno tenia muy pocos errores era muy divertido tambien simpatico el coche o van era de lujo nueva del anho y con aire acondicionado apesar del calor que hacia afuera dentro de la van estaba bastante fresco…. en efeso nos demoramos un par de horas ya que nos explicaron con muchos detalles el coliseo de efeso las casas terraza la biblioteca y luego fuimos a la casa de la virgen maria que es un lugar muy espiritual e incluso cuando entramos alli lei que decia que era un lugar considerado como lugar de peregrinacion… cuando terminamos de en esos dos lugares fuimos a la basilica de san juan tambien un lugar bastante bien conservado El templo de artemisa la verdad podria haber sido mejor pero bueno hay que entender que son ruinas 🙂 en general el pais esta muy bien conservado, una de las cosas que mas me agrado de todo fue que las personas son muy amables y amistosas y a pesar de todo las culturas del pais y de las personas no se han perdido del mucho no hubo presion en ningun lugar que entraramos sea grande o pequeno nos ofrecian beber el famos te turco o de manzana que a todo esto estuvo muy bueno, el almurzo ni que hablar 🙂 yo antes habia comido algo de cocina turca pero cuando fui nunca pense que seria mucho mas rica de la que habia comido en mi pais la verdad me fascino todo muy sabroso… bueno para terminar mi comentario quiero decir que si ven este tour privado en algun lugar no lo dude un minuto y cojalo ya que como les explique todo es de la mas alta calidad realmente vale la pena todo lo pagado 🙂

This tour was less than the cruise tour. we had a fab..time. thx
This was an attraction I almost passed on, but my flight attendant recommended it. I am so glad I went! 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.
Despite the very hot temperatures in July, this was the single best historical site I have ever explored!
Thank you very much for the Mystery Tours
