Our tour guide was very educated and knowledgeable. I would definitely use his services again. The House of the Virgin Mary was a very spiritual experience. Ephesus ruins was very educational
Highlight of our trip to Turkey!

Great communication, prompt replies to any questions I had regarding tour.
Tour guide was helpful, clear, informative and easy to get on with.
Was great having our own private guide who also gave us time on our own to explore.
Lunch was delicious and relaxed.
The day was very long, and we would have liked an earlier flight back to istanbul. But overall a fantastic day! And will recommend to fellow travellers.
Very interesting

If you are a history buff, this tour is for you. It’s so wonderful to learn all about the story behind all those Ephesus ruins. The tour guide (Selda) is so knowledgeable explaining all the details about the subjects.
