We would not have enjoyed Turkey as much as we did if we had not taken this tour. The tour picked us up at the cruise terminal. We knew the sites we were going visit but our tour guide suggested the order to visit that would suit us best.
Our tour guide was waiting for us when our ship docked at kusudasi. We rode in a mercedes minivan for a 30 minute drive to Ephesus we spent a good amount of time at ephesus and house of terraces and I can tell you, a private tour is the way to go.
Em primeiro lugar, gostaria de dizer que foi o melhor passeio da minha vida eu conheci a cidade antiga de Éfeso a casa da Virgem Maria, a terraço casas de Éfeso a rua do agora o coliseu de Éfeso e também conheci uma pessoa maravilhosa que foi o meu guia em português. O que eu gostei mais foi a antiga cidade de Éfeso a verdade é muito impressionante, imagino como essas pessoas que viviam naquele tempo acho que havia muito mais sábio que agora e muito mais respeitável respectoral tour a verdade não há muito a dizer, pois foi sem dúvida muito bem preparado tudo. O carro de luxo da atenção que a profecionalismo condutor-guia bem preparado e bem informado sobre o local das refeições típicas meu deus foi tudo maravilhoso recomendo 100 % o tour privado de dia inteiro e meio dia só são menos coisas, mas a atenção é realmente o mesmo que de primeira qualidade
這些是我們在土耳其時看到的最壯觀的廢墟。如果您在土耳其的時間限制,艾弗所是絕對不可錯過的廢墟。谢谢我们参加的这家旅行社安排令人難忘的艾弗所一遊.
excellent tour..
We Just Wanted To Let You Know We Had A Wonderful Time. Ephesus Was Amazing !
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.
fue una experiencia buenisima la verdad el tour privado es algo que contratare a todas partes que viaje mi rpimera fue en efeso hise el tour completo y si que fue completo todo perfecto van con aire acondicionado guia en mi idioma y los mas importante comodidad creo que algun dia volvere…
Este era un atractivo casi se me pasa, pero mi vuelo lo recomendó. Estoy tan contento de haber ido! La visita de las ruinas fue bastante espectacular y amplio, con una re-promulgación de los gladiadores al final de la excursión. Las ruinas fueron de cerca, no acordonada y la verdad es que se podían tocar!!! Yo estaba especialmente enamorado de la biblioteca ruinas no en todas partes se pueden tocar aca incluso nos piden que toquemos las ruinas por que dicen que se siente y entiende diferente, tambien quiero aprovechar de dar las gracias a todos que trabajaron para hacer este tour privado inolvidable. Tambien quiero recomendar este tour por que realmente aparte de ser comodo es muy economico ademas tambien existe la opcion de hacerlo a la manera que uno quiere puede cambiar las horas de entrada y salida a los museos o cambiarlas por la hora de almuerzo, no hay que olvidar que la comida turca es muy rica yo ya la habia probado antes pero no tanta variedad alla en turquia fue un descontrol 🙂 creo que subi mucho de peso pero la verad lo vale a concho, ademas de eso despues de la excurcion compre un libro de cocina turca y en castellano para seguir haciendolo en mi casa. como dije al principio gracias a todas las personas que hicieron posible esta magica visita a efeso….
En el momento en que llegamos a Éfeso, habíamos visitado algunas ruinas magníficas por Turquía. Pero habíamos visto nada en la escala de Éfeso. Uno puede imaginarse la vitalidad de la ciudad, la gente realizando sus actividades cotidianas, los niños jugando en las calles.
Esta ciudad era tan vistoso: las esculturas, fuentes, estatuas. La biblioteca es el punto culminante, dominando las ruinas. Por desgracia, el teatro estaba rodeado de alambre, que tardó lejos de la historia. Las letrinas fueron una vista para contemplar.
Caminamos por estas ruinas durante unas horas, y nos alegramos de no haber estado en un grupo grande , ya que parecían ir y venir sin mayor detalle como te lo da el tour privado que contratamos nosotros
