1 Day Ephesus trip with Cayda

We did a full day tour to Virgin Mary's House, Ephesus, the history there is incredible. Amazing, then went to a leather factory, saw afashion show, stunning leather goods to buy, stopped off at a Turkish Deilight shop and tasted tea and Turkish delight. We then headed off to have buffet lunch, all inclusive, except for your beverages. Last stop was Artimis, our guide for the day was lovely Cayda, English very good and also explaong the history along the way helps so much.

Ephasis with a Master Guide!

The tour was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide , Honour, was quite brilliant. His knowledge of the history and many stories about Ephasis was, without question the best that I have encountered (in fact we told him that he should write a book ) This could either be included in the cost of the tour or as an add on. We certainly would have gladly paid extra for one! All in all , a delightful experience, in the presence of a master of Ephasis.

Awesome tour with Fatima and Hugo. Highly recommended

Fatima did an incredible job as our guide today. She was right on time and so knowledgeable about Ephesus and the surrounding areas. We went for a nice Turkish lunch and then a authentic rug producer and store. They showed us how they make silk and the rugs. Highly recommended

First rate!!

From the moment we exited the ship till the time the tour ended it was above and beyond our expectations. First rate and extremely professional. The guide had a driver and he was extremely knowledgeable. Lunch was amazing. This tour was the one I thought would be my least favorite and it was my most favorite. So happy we got to see Turkey.
