A great day at Ephesus! - We booked a trip to Ephesus for the day as we were staying in Kusadasi and it was brilliant. The trip also included the house of Virgin Mary and temple of Artemis. We also got to visit a Turkish Delight factory and a traditional Turkish pottery. The whole day was brilliant from beginning to end and well worth the money. We had an English tour guide, Ceyda, who was great and very knowledgeable and told us all about the sites as we walked around. We were collected from our hotel by the bus and dropped off at the end of the day. I recommend booking if you are looking to visit Ephesus as it was a great day

Opportunity of a lifetime - Our tour guide Yesra was fantastic. Not only was she welcoming snd kind but so knowledgeable. Yesra made the history and people come alive with her descriptions of life in Ephesus. She kept us going so we saw most of he city and gave us a bit of free time to explore and take photos. This was a very professional tour and we learned a lot. The group was small as we went in a mini bus and this afforded an excellent tour.
