      Please let me know: 1. what time the tour end? 2. What time will the group reach the airport? 3. I want to do the full day tour on day 3, so i dont want to be dropped off early to the airport.

    • Guide of EphesusOperator•Written February 2025

      Kathy

      Traveler•Written February 2025

      I want to know if this is the cost: Double Room @ USD 330 Solo adult travelers are matched with a fellow guest of the same gender. 2. my flight to kayseri will be at 6:35 pm in the evening. Will i be able to reach the airport by 4 pm without missing anything on day 3 for sure? I am very worried about connections because I am a solo traveller and this is my first solo holiday.

    • Guide of EphesusOperator•Written February 2025

      we are not matching solo travelers with anyone else. we arrange single room for solo travelers so you should choose and book single room which is costs 495 us dollars 2. for 6:35 flight you should be at the airport at 5 pm and this is really enough time to complete the last day's tour
