1- WHY private Ephesus Tours
A: Ephesus is the most
important ancient city in Asia Minor. Other
three impressive places i.e. the Basilica of
St John, The Temple of Artemis and the House
of Virgin Mary are in the borders of
Ephesus. If you happen to stop by Kusadasi,
we surely recommend you to visit Ephesus and
the neighboring wonders with private tours
that you probably may experience the
disadvantages of the group tours such as;
- group tours are made with
at least 25-30 people,
- all guests are collected
from different places, which makes you waste
time,
- having one guide for many
people, speaking different languages which
causes difficulty to understand the guide
and make people ask many questions, or
request the guide to slow down while
speaking. When you are ready to continue,
others prevent you to enjoy your tour,
- waiting for other guests in
the tour, to keep up with everybody while
walking or listening or taking pictures,
- group tours are made with
English speaking guide. However with private
tours, you may have English, German,
Italian, Spanish, Russian, French, Japanese
speaking guides.
Briefly, group tours make you
lose time within limited duration of yours.
2- What does the price
include?
A: The price includes
Certified Professional tour guide, private
de-luxe vehicle, all entrance fees,
delicious lunch, all drinks, Ephesus Book as
our gift.
3- What is the importance of
a "Certified Professional" guide?
A: A “Certified Professional”
guide, not only informs you about the
history, but also lets you know about the
daily happenings, local life style and
regional legends. A book could give you
enough information as well but do not forget
that a guide's knowledge is not limited with
only one book but many books as well as the
experience.
Besides there are not many
informative signs within Ephesus, which can
describe what you are looking at!
4- What sort of vehicle do
you provide?
A: Vehicles are luxurious and
air-conditioned, such as Mercedes Vito
and/or Sprinter.
5- Will I be paying anything
extra than stated on your website?
A: There are no extra
charges. The prices include the guide,
transportation, entrance fees, lunch and
drinks.
7- Which travel agency
arranges the tours?
A: The tours on our website
are held by a member of TURSAB, a
International incoming travel agency since
1994, Sisan Tours Travel Agency, with the
license number 2627.
8- What is the lunch like?
A: Lunch is given in a
peaceful and lovely green garden in summer,
in authentic restaurants in winter. There
are the starters, main dish and salad,
fruits or dessert and a drink. Please let us
know if you have special requirements such
as vegetarian food, diabetic food and etc.
10- Is there any public
transportation to Ephesus?
A: Yes, there are minibuses (dolmush)
to Ephesus. But they drop you off at the
main road and you have to walk to the lower
gate, which would take about 10-15 minutes
by fast walking. When you start the tour
from the lower gate you will have to walk
uphill which will cause fatigue and take a
taxi from the upper gate to the minibus
station or the bus stop. If you have limited
time during your visit, public
transportation is not recommended.
11-Is it possible to hire a
taxi to Ephesus?
A: Yes, It is. First of all,
it will cost not less than a private tour
with a guide and a private car and secondly,
to crown it all, you will have to pay all
the fees and are not guided in the city of
Ephesus. No lunch no nothing!!!!
12- We would like to do some
shopping, is it possible with your guidance?
A: Turkey is known as a cheap
and fertile country. Handy crafts of Turkey
are popular and very qualified. Most of you,
probably heard of the beauty of Turkish
tiles, carpets, ceramics, leather and
textile. There are carpet production
centers, leather, ceramics and gold around
Ephesus where you see how these items are
made. You may even order to have a golden
ring or a necklace made, or a leather jacket
designed or a carpet woven specially for
you. Places we recommend and take you are
guaranteed production centers for quality
and prices. Where you shop from is as
important as where you eat at! The places we
recommend, guarantee to pay your money back
if you can find the same item, with the same
quality for less price. If you do not wish
to do shopping, please let us or our guide
know about it.
13- I'd like to travel alone
at Ephesus, is it possible?
A: Yes it is, but we suggest
you to read the 8th, 9th and 10th questions.
