Great - It was an extraordinary experience, to be able to see that there are still part of what were the five churches of the Bible's book of revelation.

Phyllis was our licensed guide and a... - <p>Phyllis was our licensed guide and a professional driver was provided. The vehicle was a very comfortable van. We were met at the cruise ship port on time. Phyllis was amazing, truly a gem! She had a very organized agenda planned that covered all of the amazing historical and cultural sites on our list. The House of Mary and the Cave where St John had his revelation were the highlights, truly awe inspiring experiences. Phyllis did a great job explaining things at all of the places we visited, she was very engaging and held our 13 year old sons interest the whole time. Ephesus was breathtaking and Phyllis was an expert about the area, including the library! We had a private tour of a carpet manufacturer, and a meal there that was delicious! We also had a private fashion show at a Leather Store, where my wife and son participated as models, amazing products at great prices, Phyllis even gave advice on negotiating prices. Well worth the price!! Don't be cheap on booking tours, you get what you pay for!!</p>
