Outstanding tour with a very knowledgeable guide. A bit challenging for my wife who has some unsteady gait on uneven surfaces, but manageable. Our guide was excellent and made accommodations for her and another woman with similar gait issues. I highly recommend this excursion!

This was a Do Not Miss tour. Our guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Lunch was full of flavor. I even liked the eggplant dish, which I never like. Keep in mind there is a lot of walking, over uneven or slippery areas and steps, so caution to those that have walking issues. Carpet demonstration at the end was interesting. They are beautiful but expensive. $900 for the smallest. Once you asked the price, beware, they get kind of aggressive, but not rude.

Fantastic tour. Our guide, Efe, was so knowledgeable and personable. He did a great job of giving us some flexibility in the tour when members of our group needed a break after the intense heat in Ephesus that day.
