Hi Caron, thank you so much for your lovely comments! Yes, it does take quite a while to produce each edition. About 2 weeks on average, per video... but I enjoy the creative process!
Ephesus is amazing. We were there in March and it wasn't too busy. I imagine it being very different in the height of summer. Enjoyed the ancient toilet talk 🤣
@@ritzytravelguide I just went last month and although VERY HOT, it was an experience of a lifetime! Additionally, it happened during the ascension of the Virgin Mary celebrations when I was there which made it extra special!!!
Brilliant video as always 🎉 Bill i mean this as a total compliment have you ever thought about doing voice audio for Audio Books you would be perfect for it, your speech is very clear and easy to listen too 🎉
Hi there, thank you so much for your compliments! I wonder what audio books I might be suited to?! Perhaps an agent will swoop in and offer me something!
@@ritzytravelguide awh I'm no expert but I definitely think there is a genre just wanting 🙂 I always listen to the samples before purchasing my audio book and you would be surprised how many times I have passed on a book because of the persons voice just not appealing to me, I use the audio books to relax so the persons voice is very importantand I do believe that is also a reason I really enjoy you and your families videos because you are all very well spoken and very easy to listen too 🙂 Have a great day
Bill I am new to your channel and a new cruiser. I am enjoying your videos very much and have subscribed. Good luck with your work. My wife and I want to do a Med cruise and I’ve seen Ephesus is on many itineraries so this video is very timely and well done. Btw, your MSC video encouraged me to cancel a cruise with them that I had booked. That’s not for me.
@@ritzytravelguide lol your videos were very fair. what turned me off were the number of people on board and the nightly deck parties. Reduced staffing to reduce prices doesn’t work for me either.
Hi, the excursion was a whole day, and included Ephesus and House of Virgin Mary. It was approx $60 per person Here is the provider we used: gyg.me/lfovJRBh
Wow - you’ve got to actually be there in person to get the feel of the enormity MEN built all that. How many died doing so. History is wonderful Turkish people are very friendly I worked for an 🇺🇸hydraulics company and their office based in Birmingham we dealt with the EU and Turkey companies needing hydraulics for their machines like JCB based in Ismir and Bursa I used to be sent lots of dried fruits 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴❤️❤️👍 👍
Hello Bill , very informative content. We will be going to a Mediterranean Cruise in October with RCL… we saw at GET YOUR GUIDE private tour that it doesn’t include entry tickets . Could you give us an idea of how many places in this tour package needs an entry ticket and more or less with the tour that you did , how much was the total package for you and your wife? Thanks
Hi, our tour was approximately $50 person. It was a private your, with us only, in a minibus, collection from the Port of Kuşadası. It included entry tickets to Ephesus, and the house of the Virgin Mary, and lunch. We were very glad to have booked a guide, otherwise Ephesus would be very difficult to appreciate.
Shocking that after 6 minutes of talking about Ephesus you failed to mention that it was a Greek city built by the ancient Greeks ages before the Romans arrived (and a full millennium before the Turks occupied it). Other than that, a good video. Just subbed.
Bill, great video. Would you recommend an tour group agency to book with? I've got access to Royal Cari. excursions, AAA Royal Cari and Viatour. Any of these better than the next or can you recommend another?
Hi Diana, we booked a small tour company with GetyourGuide. Private tour, well priced. Very happy with them. Here is the link for the company we used: gyg.me/lfovJRBh
Wonderful video. Love the format and gradings at the end. Thank you Bill.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for your respectful treatment of Ephesus and of the house of the Virgin Mary.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video
@@ritzytravelguide Sir. Stay classy. Regards.
ive been to these places... i miss them so much
It is a fascinating place!
Türkiyeye gelen insanların ayrıldıktan sonra buraları özlediği doğrudur...😊
Cracking effort Bill, outstanding editing
Thank you so much!
I loved your video. It’s so informative! My family and I will be going here on cruise at the end of January, also on the Infinity! Can’t wait!
Wishing you an amazing time. Ephesus is an absolute delight!
This is no average holiday vlog. The CGI tour through old Ephesus is very awesome.
Thanks so much for watching. Ephesus is incredible
Could you provide the contact of the guide
@sandylee4814 Hi there, here is the link for that particular guide and tour. We can really recommend it:

Great video Bill. I know they take a lot of pre- and post-production, but would love to see more, more often!
Hi Caron, thank you so much for your lovely comments! Yes, it does take quite a while to produce each edition. About 2 weeks on average, per video... but I enjoy the creative process!
Nice to see a grown up Cruise channel , good video guys.
Many thanks indeed!
Ephesus is amazing. We were there in March and it wasn't too busy. I imagine it being very different in the height of summer. Enjoyed the ancient toilet talk 🤣
Thanks so much! Yes Ephesus is stunning. Toilet talk is always interesting 😁
Amazing place, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see Ephesus this summer.
You'll have a fascinating time!
As always, you did a fabulous job on this excursion.
Thank you so much. It's a gorgeous part of the world to visit
I so agree with your wife on being the best site to see on a 10 day cruise! Love it.
Ephesus is such an inspiration to visit
Congratulations 👍 for this video‼️
Thank you!
Looking forward more .. especially after watching your video…
Loved this. Great vid👏👏
Thank you so much!
It was amazing when I went!!!
It really is!

@dr.ikeavina3761 I can just imagine how special that was!

Maybe I could do bedtime books!
@@ritzytravelguide lol there is a huge market for it to be fair 😴
Love the simulations.
Thanks so much for watching!
The Bible is really true, especially in the Book of Acts, it' really incredible and amazing. I wish I could visit this place.
Maybe one day!
Great video Bill. We are there in October, would you recommend the private tour and who did you use? Thanks
Hi there, yes I would thoroughly recommend the private tour we used. Umut, the guide, did a great job.

Welcome to the Channel, thank you so much! After reading that reference to them, MSC will be chasing me with a fly swat!!

🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴❤️❤️👍 👍
Your guide looked Indian to me...
Correct me if I am wrong
Btw.... amazing video
No, he was Turkish, and excellent
@@ritzytravelguide Thank you
Planning to visit next month ..
Off season.,..so I guess less crowds..
Did you use and agency to book your private tour? Or someone like Viatour/Shoreexcursioners? Or through the cruise line?
This is the private tour we booked. The guide was excellent, and the price very reasonable:

Thanks for filling in the gaps, that's appreciated
So appropriate to sit on the sh*tter to talk politics. Then share a used loofa..about sums up the state of our government today.
Be crative? I guess bcre8tive was taken. or bcre8tiv, or bcre8tuv, you know, something creative!
