Visiting Ephesus is essential for a trip to Turkey, but this particular one-day tour was significantly overpriced for what you get. The guide was good, friendly and knowledgeable but kept us moving at a brisk pace. We wanted more time. The meal was adequate. Transport from airport to hotel/return was significantly delayed. Bottom line, there were some good aspects of the trip but overpriced.
Thank you for your feedback. Just want to add that only issue you said had only you coming back to Istanbul Airport and transfer took a little time. Everyone knows that vehicles gets called after you meeting with staff outside arrivals exit gates. All the vehicles not allowed yo stay inside long period and have to wait outside nearby. Except this other transfer services were very accurate. We are deeply sorry it was out of your expectations.
Great experience and very pleasant guide with full knowledge about history. We had a wonderful full day out and visited all the ancient sites. We were happy to see everything we wanted to see.
From beginning to the end, this trip was excellent. We really enjoyed the ancient city and archaeological site that we experienced. Thanks to our tour operator arranging this with excellent manner and took care of us ensuring our safety all times. Our tour guide made our day very memorable with his excellent English and sense of humour.
I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. Very well organised from start to end. Great tour guide and gave us lots of information about Ephesus and surrounding areas. The guide was very knowledgeable and took his time to fully explain things.
