This was a great tour where we learned so much about the ruins. Our guide was very informative and well organized. It was nice not being in a huge crowd. The Turkish bath was a really cool experience and gave us a lot of insight into Turkish culture.
our tour guide was great and we enjoyed the tour overall. I understood beforehand that the museum visit was included for free, while the historical portion through Ephesus required a separate fee. However, there was no clear communication before or at the beginning of the tour that the historical site admission had to be paid in cash only. I expected to pay at the site itself, but it was never explained ahead of time that cards would not be accepted. At the final stop, we were informed that the historical portion cost €40 per person and that only cash could be used. My group and I were not prepared because we did not have enough euros (120) with us, only U.S. dollars, which thankfully the guide accepted. If we had not carried any cash at all, it would have created a serious problem. I believe this information needs to be communicated much more clearly before the tour begins, especially for travelers who rely mainly on cards while traveling internationally. Since we had already paid around $280 for the tour, the unexpected cash-only payment made the situation feel frustrating. Again, the guide herself was kind and helpful. My concern is specifically about the lack of clear communication regarding payment expectations and accepted payment methods.
Very good French guide who knew a lot about the history of Ephese, the making of Turkish carpets and who brought us to a restaurant that made us taste several specialties of the country
Excellent Francophone guide who knows his story very well. I highly recommend it. Besides, he's a history teacher.
