Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
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.
We were travelling on a cruise ship with 3 couples and booked a private tour our tour guide seemed to get us to each place before the big crowds arrived thanks.
our day trip to ephesus was excellant. We had friends from America with us and they were very impressed with the whole experience. Would recomend to teke the the private tour. Money well spent.
The guide was very flexible being a private vehicle they would stop anywhere we asked them to. It was amazing experience with these great people.
This is a realy great tour,. the car was new and very clean, the guide well spoken and knowledgeable.
I would definitely recommend this tour!
The best of all the tours we did. The AC van, guide, driver, and lunch excellent.
This was the perfect tour to see all of Ephesus in a limited amount of time.
I’ve been to Ephesus before but have only done the half day tour so really wanted to spend the day there and see more. The tour was well-organised and really nice as we were in a small group which allowed us to ask lots of questions to our guide. I think if you go to Ephesus do the deluxe full day tour so you can see the Terrace Houses and House of Virgin Mary which is fascinating!
We did a private tour of Ephesus, The Terrace Houses and Sirince Vilalge and it was an amazing day and the views in Sirince were great. We really enjoyed Ephesus and the terrace houses. The private tour was by far one of the best we have ever had, and was comparable to the larger ship tours.
