The English guide was very nice and knowledgeable. While we waited for the flat tire to be repaired she provided great context of Turkish history and how it was relevant to the Ephesus. The shop stops of the itinerary had to be removed to make up for lost time and I couldn’t ask to see the restored Roman Terrace Houses (I’m an architect so I was very interested in that) that are in an enclosed area to protect them from the elements, since they would’ve taken too much time that we were running against already. The flat tire also meant that, although we left Bodrum early to beat the crowd and the traffic, we ended up at Ephesus at the same time as many other tours. I really liked the archeological site and the interactive experience at the end was very nice. Pack a good hat and a fan if you can and wear lots of sunscreen.
This trip does not include what the Viator listing says it does. It’s says it includes the Mary House, Temple of Artemis, Basilica of St John and museum.
That’s not correct. It’s the House of Mary (extra fee) or the other stuff. I was cheated out of 1/3 of my trip.
I paid a little bit more for this trip to see everything compared to others.
I complained during the trip and was tiold to contact the tour operator. It’s not like I can go see the rest of the sites promised
Despite the long day it was a fantastic trip and absolutely worth it! We had a great group of people and an excellent guide who kept the energy up and shared so much interesting history. Ephesus itself was incredible — truly a must-see. The stop at Lake Bafa was lovely too.Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to make the most out of a day trip from Bodrum!
A very long day but worth it if you want to see Ephesus! They also arranged a fantastic English speaking tour guide onsite and honestly, with the lack of signage, that’s the best thing to do. It is extremely hot in June and no shade so bring water, umbrella, sunscreen accordingly. Stones are slippery to walk on so have good shoes. The jewelry store stops on the way there were a waste of time. Would’ve preferred to do less tourist shopping and have a shorter day.
