Poor tour description- not as advertised
Janice_M, Oct 2022
This tour was not as advertised. My Hotel was listed for a pick-up, they called the hotel and emailed my confirmation. But no transport arrived. I had to activate travel pass to call number, sent a taxi, which I then had to pay for. The Virgin Mary’s house was an additional 275 TL, which should have been included. The ride back to the hotel, was a drop off in the middle of toeing for me to find my own way. I am seeking reimbursement of $15 for the House of VM and $6 for the taxi ride. Please refund $21.00
They do not respect the Cultural Heritage, Loosing Time
Aranita_B, Aug 2021
It was horror. I bought a Ticket for the Cultural Tour (not shopping). program with 5 Stops Basilica of Saint John with sant John Grave; 2. The Virgin Mary Hause ; Bibliotheque of Celscius ; The Temple of Artemis and Ancient City of Ephesus. But there were three other stops at the llokum shop, gold shop and Turkish bazaar. We start the tour at 6.40. and arrived at the Destination Ephesus at 12 o'clock at 40 degrees Celsius under the sun a very difficult moment to vizit a arceologic city. We lose 5 hours in Turkish Shopping. I think in Turkey, Viatour and Local Operators are cheating with toursits. They do not respect the Cultural Heritage. meby persons working as tour guides are paid with commissions they receive in turkish llokum deligh factoryes and shops, and textiles????? Shame for not respecting the Miracles of Antiquity. That is why in Turkey there are many visitors from Eastern Countries and few tourists from Western Countries
Wonderful experience
Teodora_H, Jul 2021
If you want to see one of the UNESCO heritage sites I strongly recommend this tour. The English language guides are very knowledgeable and very nice , you feel very welcomed. It’s a long drive but all worth it .

Excellent Tour Guide

Very organized day from pick-up to drop-off. Lunch provided was excellent, our tour guide was exceptional!! This was the second time this year that I had taken this same tour. Learned more this time around with different insightful historic facts than last time because our tour guide was enthusiastic about teaching...very much appreciated!
