    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.

    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.
