      do we need to do every single 'tour' even if it's not considered 'optional'

    • Guide of EphesusOperator•Written September 2026

      yes you dont have to join all tours but the thing for example in ephesus day if we are visiting house of virgin mary there is no place to leave you and also for ephesus entrance and exit gates are different in this case if we leave you at exit gate we cannot re pick you from there. for that reason if you want to skip some places during the tours those days can be free day for you and you will miss all places in istanbul its okay but for ephesus pamukkale or cappadocia if any places requested to skip those days will be free day for you. we dont have an option to leave people in somewhere during the group visiting a site. due to safety reasons
