“A great and memorable tour to Ephesus - My wife and I booked our excursion to Ephesus online and almost immediately received all necessary information needed to effect our meeting with our guide and transport. We disembarked our cruise ship and were promptly met at the cruise terminal by our guide who escorted us to a waiting people carrier for the trip. We were the only two passengers other than our guide and our driver. Our guide spoke excellent English, was delightful, extremely knowledgeable and kept us fully informed about the area and, of course, Ephesus itself. We could not speak more highly of our guide and the competence of our driver. All together a very enjoyable trip.” (Reviewed at: 2025-02-07)
