Best Tour Ever! - I booked this tour last minute and we were so lucky to get Seyhan as our guide. It was just my husband and me, Seyhan and the driver (forgot his name, sorry). We were never rushed, and were able to ask questions or linger in an interesting area. He is a very knowledgeable guide, well versed in history, and obviously loves his country. Seyhan took lots of pictures of us, then sent them to our phones, so we didn’t have to keep passing cameras back and forth. After a thorough tour of Ephesus, he took us to a restaurant for a delicious local lunch, that I had no idea was included. Then to a a fascinating store with wonderful gourmet foods, herbs, oils, supplements, Turkish Delight, baklava, and more. And then to a rug factory that had the most beautiful rugs I had ever seen. It was the best tour we had in our 28 day vacation!

Great experience with our guide Emel, who knows the Ephese site well. Nice experience with our guide Emel, she wa - The Ephesus site is a must-see site with a guide who knows the site well. Do not do this in high temperatures as the site is not very shaded.
