      TravelerWritten February 2026

      And I see that it says that the Bosphorus Cruise has an extra fee in day one, but in day two the Bosphorus Cruise Tour has no extra fee. So, what's the difference?

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten February 2026

      airport transfers arrival and departure is included in package

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten February 2026

      in our tours we have bosphorus cruise In itinerary but tickets are not included same as we have topkapi palace and entrance tickets not included.
      that means there is no difference if they dont want to pay for cruise tickets they will have free time While others joining the cruise.

      In day one we dont have bosphorus cruise in our itinerary by the way

      Helen

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      I note that no entrance fees to museums are covered. Is it financially wise to purchase a museum pass?

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten January 2026

      yes we can arrange transfer to the requested point

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten January 2026

      total entrance fees are 197 euros
      museum pass turkey is 160 euros

      museum pass cannot be use in hagia sophia and house of virgin mary and for bosphorus cruise tickets ( 40 euros total for this 3 sites)

      so the places that you can use museum pass is total 157 euros
      if you pay separately instead of museum pass you will save 3 euros

      for this program museum pass is not profitable

    Asked on January 23rd, 2026

    For a trip of 4 adults on this tour, my clients want 2 rooms for accommodation, two people per room, as they are two couples. They want either queen or king-size beds. But I'm not quite sure how to select this from your accommodation options. Should I select "4 people" under "STANDARD PACKAGE HOTELS DOUBLE ROOM Private French bed or twin bed rooms available"? Because I dont see the option for two separate rooms. Does this option include king-size beds? Or how do I select it?

    Accommodation
    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten January 2026

      king size beds are available after you completed booking please send a request to us on booking conversation page that the rooms will be king bed we can make these arrangements

      you should select only standard package hotels double room.
