We would definitely recommend this private tour
I would definitely recommend this tour!
We had a terrific day our tour was flawlessly performed from start to finish.
I was very glad we choose private tour to ephesus. Thanks
our guide yesim efficiently guided us through the crowds making sure that our small group of 8 arrived before the larger buses thus allowing us to get the full experience. our lunch at the carpet school was both tasty and enlightening none of us actually understood the process of collecting silk or the painstaking job of making those beautiful works of art. We wish that we were there to purchase but not this time.
la verdad creo que lo mejor que he hecho a sido tomar este tour privado de dia completo por efeso aparte vimos la casa de la virgen maria la basilica de san juan el templo de artemisa y tambien comimos muy pero muy bien la comida realmente es maravillosa creo que habre subido un par de kilos mientras estaba en turquia 🙂 el guia que nos recibio al salir del crusero era muy bueno y divertido se llamaba ALÄ° se ve que es una buena persona y tambien bastante conocida en todos los lugares que entramos lo conocian y lo saludaban bien cordialmente el tiempo que pasamos con el fue muy grato,, no puedo dejar pasar tambien que es muy profesional cada lugar de efeso casa esquina de la casa de la virgen maria o de el templo de artemisa fue todo muy bien explicado tan bien que no sentimos la necesidad de preguntar algo recomiendo sin duda alguna a mi guia y a la agencia…
Our tour guide was right on time picking us up directly at the port. My husband and I were part of a total party of 8, perfect for us to enjoy Ephesus without a bus load of people. This is definitely the way to see Ephesus.
Thank you very much – we had a great time!
