Ephesus brings the past to life. This tour combines the ancient city with a visit to a typical ceramics factory for a glimpse into traditional pottery making. First up, you'll relive the glory days of the Roman Empire as you explore the monuments of Ephesus on a guided tour. Gökhan, one of our expert local guides, says "the archaeological site is so well-preserved that it's easy to imagine you are walking in the footsteps of the toga-clad crowds that gathered and chattered in the streets 2,000 years ago."Crammed with temples, relics and religious statues, you'll walk the marble streets as...

Trajet long et fastidieux, ramassage de petit groupe dans différents hôtels, changement de bus sur le bord de la voie rapide pas sécurisé, et au retour attente d'un autre bus en ********** pour récupérer des passagers qui été à la même visite à la même heures que nous. Organisation des déplacements un peu légère. Par contre une guide très intéressant et très gentil, c'est le point positif du voyage.

Our guide Esra was wonderful - very knowledgeable, well organised, excellent. The site itself is very impressive. The experience museum is fantastic. The only downside was the heat - which is noones fault! In hindsight, I would not recommend this tour for children - we took my daughter aged 6, and it was just too much for her. The heat, a lack of shade, the walking.

The time spent in Ephesus was interesting and the guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. The pottery demonstration was simply a sales opportunity and a waste of time.

Beau site à visiter si vous êtes de passage à Kusadasi. Le musée d’immersion est très intéressant, on s’y croit. Par contre, le Monsieur qui nous a vendu l’excursion nous avait dit que le repas était compris, de 8h30 à 14;30, on aurait pu proposer un repas au lieu de la boutique de poterie

à la fabrication de poterie les prix sont excessifs je me suis fait arnaquer de 209 euros . Je suis en turquie dans un magasin turque je pense que les prix qui sont indiqués sont en livré turque! et bien non les prix sont en euros. Quel surprise en regardant mon compte bancaire ! J’ai payé 45 fois le prix de ce que je pensais acheter. Il faudrait prévenir les touristes …

Het was een mooie excursie. Ik zal alleen aanraden om dit eerder in de ochtend te plannen, dan is het nog te doen met de temperatuur. Nu werd het na 1 uurtje al snel te heet, ondanks de maatregelen die wi getroffen hadden.

Veel te lange info in Duits voordat het in het Nederlands werd uitgelegd. 2 talig is echt niet handig. Verder is de excursie te lang, zonder drinken of lunch en de groep te groot. Wij zijn zelf met taxi van Efeze naar hotel gegaan. Zonde van het geld... Het was ook echt veel te druk in Efeze, waardoor gids moeilijk te verstaan was. Andere gidsen hadden een microfoon en gasten een oortje in. Dat is beter.

It was not made clear that the amphitheatre was not accessible and this is the highlight of a visit to Ephesus. The terrace houses were also not part of this visit. Disliked compulsory visit to pottery place. Their stuff was lovely but I hated being forced to go. Our guide Esra was repetitive, without telling us much interesting about what we were seeing. She also made no secret of being bored. For the extremely high price, this was very poor value for all the reasons above.

Great tour with an excellent guide Ezra. We went with our 7 year old son and it was just long enough for him in the heat. Ephesus is amazing, we didn't realise how big it was and the museum at the end bought it all to life. Didn't feel pressured to buy anything at the Pottery place.

The trip cost £700 for a group of 13 which included 6 children, one under 3 and the rest 10 and under. I feel that we paid a lot for a basic tour of Ephesus. The group for the guide was too big and it was also very busy which detracted from the experience. The pottery tour was unnecessary and we felt that it was just an excuse to try and get us to purchase very expensive pottery. In all this was very poor value for money.

To visit Ephesus is expensive but worth it! Not too much extra to do the tour compared to getting tickets ourselves. The pottery demonstration was quite impressive but an extra that we wouldn't have chosen to do.

Die Tour an sich war sehr schön, aber es fühlte sich an wie eine Verkaufsveranstaltung, es wurde gezeigt wie sie die Sachen herstellen- bemalen-brennen und dann durfte man durch mehrere Räume voll mit Keramik, um diese dann zu kaufen.

Die Tour durch Ephesus war an sich sehr schön. Statt der Topfervorführung, die in meinen Augen wirklich nicht interessant war und eher als Verkauf der Töpferwaren diente, hätte man bei der Ephesus Tour noch die „Terassen“ hinzumachen können. So dass man wirklich alles sieht. Diese waren leider nicht dabei. Man hätte diese zwar dort in der freien Zeit noch besuchen und ein extra Ticket holen können, dafür war die freie Zeit aber doch eher zu kurz und hätte nicht gereicht.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la visite de la cité d'Ephèse. Le guide francophone a su rendre l'expérience intéressante malgré la forte chaleur de juillet. La visite comprenait aussi l'exposition immersive. La fabrique de poterie a relativement peu d'intérêt.

Te veel stops voordat je aankomt in de Egeze, pp prijs is duur voor dat geld had ik makkelijk zelfstandig een taxi kunnen regelen en zelfstandig naar de Efeze kunnen gaan. De reisleiding was vtiendelijk wist veel te vertellen maast stond telkens ver van de plek waar zijn verhaal over ging. De Efeze op zich is eem aamrader maar niet via deze tour

Ook bijna 20 min te laat opgehaald

Het is een mooie stad, de excursie was wel duur. De gids zou Nederlandstalig zijn, dit bleek in de stad een gids te zijn die Nederlands en Duits sprak. Ik versta een beetje Duits en hoorde dat de gids in het Duits veel meer vertelde als in het Nederlands. Vervolgens gingen we er best snel doorheen zodat we nog een 3 kwartier bij de winkels moesten hangen. Bij de porseleinzaak was de gids zelfs alleen Duits en sprak niet eens Engels.
