Opportunity of a lifetime - Our tour guide Yesra was fantastic. Not only was she welcoming snd kind but so knowledgeable. Yesra made the history and people come alive with her descriptions of life in Ephesus. She kept us going so we saw most of he city and gave us a bit of free time to explore and take photos. This was a very professional tour and we learned a lot. The group was small as we went in a mini bus and this afforded an excellent tour.
