I had a wonderful time at Ephesus. Seher was an excellent guide who gave meaningful explanations and answered all of our questions. We had a bus exclusively for our tour, so we were able to leave our belongings on board throughout the day. We had lunch at a carpet factory, and it was delicious. During the tour, we visited the Public Agora, the ruins of the Temple of Artemis, Ephesus National Park, and the House of the Virgin Mary. Yusuf was our driver, and he kindly provided water bottles and sparkling juice for everyone. Our group included a six-year-old child and a seventy-three-year-old man, and the tour was comfortable and enjoyable for all of us. I highly recommend this experience!
Thank you very much for choosing us. It was a pleasure for us to host you in Kusadasi.
