    Not what's stated on website

    Jonathan_N, Mar 2026
    Not what they tell you on the description of the tour! It was stated 4/5 hrs with lunch! Ended up 3hrs and NO MENTION of lunch?

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hello Mr Jonathan Neville. First of all you thank you for your messagge. All reviews even they are negative wellcome for us but when you are writing reviews you should be fair why You booked a biblical ephesus tour which is is stated as 5 hours You visited house of virgin mary and temple of artemis, the next point was ephesus when you heard from our guide ephesus entrance is 40 euros you did not want to enter ancient city plus same for basilica of st john 6 euros you did not want to pay. These 2 points visiting time is about 3 hours after the house of virgin mary you wanted to return back to the port and we dropped you back. If you say the tour duration is not as mentioned this not fair . you should say we did not want to enter the sites with fees and than we wanted a refund because of our tour ended at 10:30 am we could not have lunch. And the company rejected our refund request due to tour is ended by our request. This could be fair enough. But instead of telling the truth you are saying the tour is not as listed. Anyway your reviews will show to our potential customers that all reviews are real. Thank you for tour effort.

    Great Bible place tour!
