The tour group company made it very easy to find and meet up with our driver and tour guide. The van was very comfortable and clean; and perfectly sized for our small group. The tour guide, Ozlem, was super friendly and willing to accommodate any special need or adjustment to the routine tour. She was also extremely knowledgeable about Ephesus and the history surrounding the area and region. Ozlem did a great job. The description of the tour on Viator suggested entering each historic site was optional. However, we found that there was little choice when visiting. More importantly, a visit without entering the sites would be pointless. We'd highly recommend the tour company and / or Viator simplify the description and price to be fully inclusive of the transport, the tour guide and all entrance fees at each site.

Perfekter Ausflug nach Ephesus

Heike_K, Dec 2023
Sehr schöne Führung in Ephesus. Wir haben von Serhat sehr viel gelernt. Er hat sich auch sehr gut um unsere 89jährige Mutter, die schlecht laufen kann, bemüht. Wir können diesen Ausflug nur empfehlen und würden jederzeit wieder buchen.
