A fantastic experience of Ephesus and related areawith a skilled guide - We had a fantastic day with our guide Alperen Ugur who was not only very knowledgeable but also really enthusiastic about the areas we went through centred on Ephesus. His passion was infectious and he also displayed immense skill and wisdom in how we navigated the day and dodged the busier areas, minute by minute. It was quite a long day but the energy and excitement was maintained by choice of venues and thoughtful sheherding of the group. Thank you very much - a top day!
