Private tour guides-Istanbul, Athens May 2008

[Penzance]

Caribbeansun: How many people were in the van or bus on your Ephseus tour for $55 per person? As there seems to be a vast difference between $150 per and $55 per, I was wondering what the tour entailed. Could you give a brief description of the tour please? Thank you.

That's the price they quote on their web site for 2 people to go to Ephesus only.

 

When we did the tour there was just myself and my DW - we did pretty much everything you can do in Ephesus including the following:

 

Ephesus, The Terrace Houses, House of Virgin Mary, Temple of Artemis and St. John Basilica. The only thing I would suggest is that you NOT agree to go to a carpet shop afterwards unless you want to be sold a carpet.

Of the above I'd say Ephesus and the Terrace Houses are a must see, followed by the House of Virgin Mary - the Temple of Artemis is pretty much non-existent as the pillars have all been moved/stolen and the Basilica was okay but I think we were tired after spending almost 4 hours in Ephesus alone.

 

For all of that for the two of us including a van, driver and private guide for the day the total cost of $75 per person. If there is more than 2 of you the price comes down in increments per person.
