Marvellous visit to Ephesus

I’ve visited Ephesus a few times now, but I have to say that on this occasion having the enthusiastic and knowledgeable Nur as our guide for the day and the new virtual mmuseum experience on site, helped to bring alive the city’s long history.

Fabulous Ephesus trip

Had a great 12 hour day trip to Ephesus and can totally understand why it was one of the 7 wonders of the world. An unmissable experience at great value for money that has ticked off a bucket list item for me and was made all the more enjoyable by our brilliant guide Nur who explained the history so well. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who gets the opportunity.

Amazing day out ❤️

Amazing guide Nür Çoban was very fun making it enjoyable to be a part of and helpful with useful facts always happy to answer questions. Would definitely recommend as never felt rushed had plentyof time at each stop feeling peaceful and a calm atmosphere. Whole coach full never felt crowded anywhere we went and was time for everyone to explore. The virtual museum was fantastic and a great break from the heat. Food was great at lunch harder for picky eaters so bring snacks if you know your hard to please. Amazing value for money with everything but drinks included. Will absolutely be visiting again when we return.
