ASKED QUESTIONS
1- Why should I choose a private Ephesus
tour?
Answer:
We recommend you to visit Ephesus and the
neighboring sights such as House of Virgin
Mary, St. John Basilica, Temple of Artemis
in a private tour, as you should be aware of
the following disadvantages of the group
tours:
- group tours are made with at least 25-30
people, often more like 40 - 45 persons
- you will waste your time and should be
very patient, as the guests are collected
from different places for the tour
- usually every group consists of people
with different nationalities, speaking
different languages and asking a lot of
questions which may prevent the
communication with the guide and make the
tour slow
- Group tours are made usually with the
English speaking guide. Taking a private
tour, you may order English, German,
Italian, Spanish, Russian, French or Greek
speaking guide.
2- What does the price of the tour
include?

3- What means "professional licensed
guide"?
Answer:
Taking tour with the professional licensed
guide is very important. Guides in Turkey
are studying for 4 years to get the license
and pass special exams in language skills.
If you read 1 book about Turkey, they read a
lot of them, besides consider their
experience in this field.

during the tour?

spend money extra only if you would like to
buy a small souvenir for your family
somewhere during the tour.

8- What kind of meals are given for a
lunch during the tour?

Lunch is given in the restaurants with the
garden outside of the city offering open

10- Is there any public transport going
to Ephesus?
Answer:
Yes, there are minibuses called dolmush
going to Ephesus. As a matter of fact they
will drop you off at the main road and then
you will have to walk about 15 minutes;
after visiting Ephesus you will exit the
city at the upper gate of Ephesus, where you
can take only a taxi to your hotel or at
least till the dolmus station. We do not
recommend you to use the public transport if
you are short of time.
11-Is it possible to take a taxi till
Ephesus?
Answer:
Of course. There are taxi station
practically at every corner in Kusadasi.
Remember that the taxi fees till Ephesus
will costs to you as well as the tour with
the agency. Besides you will have to pay
extra for entrance fees to the sights, for
lunch, and of course you will have to walk
on your own without any tour guide!
12- Is it possible to do some shopping
after the tour?
Answer:
If you have more free time and would like to
do some shopping, feel free to discuss it
with your tour guide, as Turkey is known
with its carpets, ceramics, leather and
textile. The guide can bring you to some of
the shopping centers recommended by our
agency where you surely will get high
quality, best service and price. If you will
not find something you are looking for, you
can make an order and we can also arrange
the delivery of the bought item to you.
If you do not want to make any shopping,
just tell your tour guide about it and
he/she will bring you back to your
hotel/port when the tour is over.
