Incredible time is Ephesus while on cruise - Our tour was amazing. Gul was our tour guide and she was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. Shared so much historical, cultural and biblical information during our 6-7 hour tour. She also took us to a few experiences like leather factory, delight making center and a heirloom weaving place. Overall great experience and value.

Fabulous and easy going - This tour has been amazing. Our guide was able to adjust and recommend times to visit sites within our time limit. I was highly suggest to start your tour at 8AM just to help beat crowds and be able to balance out where to go due to the tourists. Please request Gul as your guide.
