A guide makes a difference where there is a lot of history - My wife didn't really want to go to Ephesus, but when she arrived she was amazed. The city (3rd in history) is wonderful and is inspired by several modern things, such as the Nike logo......... in short, it is a place to visit and never forget. A Guide makes the difference

Solo trip - The tour was great and insightful. I encountered an issue and the guides were readily available to help. Needless to say they were friendly and so were the people on the tour. Although I was travelling alone it didn’t feel like it.

Fabulous half day trip to Ephesus - We were collected personally by Year at our hotel. Very professional with an open and friendly style, she was considerate, one of our party was struggling with a back pain. Our coach did have problems but she immediately resolved this by arranging a replacement within 5 minutes. I have been to Ephesus before but learned some facts from her that I hadn't discovered previously. All in all she was a first class guide and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone. Also she had a great sense of humour as one of our party is a bit if a joker. Amazing trip !!

Check alternative - An accurate description of the day. would be helpful. The multiple stops were just a. waste of time. Breakfast was not included, but we. had to stop to provide business to a local establishment. Then the visit to the Jewelry factory where anxious sales people were ready for us to spend $1000's. The 'included lunch' - canteen, was another tour stop where we had to wait for other tour busses to vacate.....so stopped at a candy factory! The Ephesus. guide was OK - but it was all 'hurry up and wait' around other tour groups. Then learned much wasn't covered - suggest the private audio tour. where one can get all information, plus walk at ones own pace.
