Great day in Ephesus

Published on Oct, 2024

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide's name was Vedat. He was extremely kind and knowledgeable. It was just my wife and me so he tailored the tour to our interests. I would highly recommend this tour and just doing a guided tour of Ephesus overall. It is a fascinating place and having a guide that can tell you all about it is extra helpful.
