Doing a tour with only 8 people was wonderful. Ephesus is gorgeous.
The most informative tour we did whilst away, having a small group with english speaking guides was great. Our Tour Guides Burcu she was wonderful. Would recommend small groups tours to anyone visit the ephesus.
I booked a private tour for 8 people for a one day cruise stop in November, at the port of izmir my booking was done through email.
The tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Terrace houses was incredible. A fabulous day! Thank you.
Visited as part of our Adriatic & Aegean cruise. Docked in Kusadasi and this provided a short driving tour of the area around the Ephesus site.
Buy one of the books that descibes the site as a helpful resource. The site accepts only Turkish Lira or credit card payments. There is a museum in the adjacent community where many of the original artifacts are housed. The site can become crowded during the peak tourist season and is open air so if it is hot, you’ll be out in the sun the whole time.
Great tour, excellent guide, fantastic would highly recommend
Terrace Houses they are most impressive and unbelievable. They are the homes of the very rich of the day with indoor hot and cold water, heated homes, indoor bathrooms and even a sauna with heated floors. The lunch was awsome and got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Thanks again
The group had a great time in Ephesus. In all, this was the most wonderful tour.
The driver was excellent.
Turkey Ephesus is an amazing must see destination!. I was glad I went with a guide as she knew a wealth of information that couldn’t be found just by walking around by ourselves. Thanks
Yesim was interesting, informative and a wonderful guide. Our entire family enjoyed the day. Yesim made adjustments for our daughter’s unexpected injury and wheelchair. We could not have seen ephesus on our own because of logistics and in hindsight we are glad we booked the day trip. Our three teenagers had fun and we were glad to hear Yesim explanations.
