The tour of Ephesus was great and because it was small group we only had 3 people that basically made it like a private tour. My only complaint is that we were taken to a ceramic shop for a local family. The work was nice and all, but I dont like that people put this on tours. I dont really want to be sold to. Overall the tour was good, it would have been 5/5 if they did not take us to the store.

Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. It was a very hot day, 100 degrees, and it would have been nice if the driver had bottled waters for us on the tour. The other tours we booked through Project Expedition all provided us with bottled water. Also, the van was a bit dirty and smelled terribly of cigarette smoke.
