We will definitely be back to Turkey! Thank you very much we really had a great time.
A must see when in Turkey. We’ll definitely recommend this to our friends. thanks
The tour was very reasonably priced compared to those offered by our cruise ship. We really appreciated the personal touch only afforded by a small group tour. I would strongly suggest that anyone traveling to Ephesus. You won’t be disappointed.
We would definitely recommend this private tour
Travelled to turkey last week and decided to book a private tour for my family, it was excelled. Brilliant sites and ruins, tour guide spoke brilliant English and was a lot of fun.
Great!
Doing a tour with only 8 people was wonderful. Ephesus is gorgeous.
cando tomamos el tour en el puerto de esmirna la verdad no me esperaba tanta atencion nos trataron muy bien el guia y el chofer ademas me di cuenta que todo el mundo alla en turquia es asi compre una botella de agua y te invitan a tomar un te o unas delicias turca que a todo esto realmente son delicias hay miles de sabores…. el guia hablaba muy bien espanol y hasta nos botaba bromas en espanol el chofer no creo que entendiese pero estuvo con una sonrisa todas las horas que estuvimos con el ademas que se preocupaba que el coche estuviese bien temperado nos ayudaba a subir y a bajar ya que somos personas de una edad mas avanzada… en efeso creo que nos demoramos mas de lo que demoran las personas pero como dije somos viejos y apesar de todo el guia fue muy pasiente con nosotros y le agradesere simpre lo que hizo por nosotros en esas pocas horas me fui muy contenta del tour y que bueno que contratamos ese tour privado de efeso y la casa de la virgen maria ademas tambien nos llevo a el templo de artemision o artemisa que estaba tambien a un par de minutos de efeso casi al llegar a pueblo de selcuk luego fuimos a un restourante muy tipico de la region la comida muy buena le pidio a el director del restorante que nos dieran comidas sin sal y cosas asi la atencion fue muy buena en todas partes espero que contraten el mismo tour privado y veran que lo disfrutaran son muy buenos en lo que hacen en mi pais tambien hay turismo pero creo que no estamos tan preparados para resivir a los turistas de esa manera creo que somos mas incapaces de eso pero aca se ganan el dinero con mucho sacrificio y como dije les recomiendo encarecidamente este tour privado de dia completo o de medio dia nosotros con mi marido hicimos los dos en dos epocas diferentes del anho tanto en invierno como en verano la verdad la mejor fue en verano ya que todo esta muy verdecito…. si nada mas que agregar ademas de agradecer todo lo que hicieron por nosotros me despido a la distancia con gran abrazo y un saludo a todos los que hicieron de estas vacaciones inolvidables…
Highly recommend for his expertise and a positive can do attitude. The shops are generally too small to allow a wheelchair inside, but some goods are displayed outside.
