Done a day trip to ephesus, it really is amazing, and steeped in history. They are still uncovering ruins to this day. It gives you a real insight into time gone by.
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. I am sorry I do not remember her name, but she was so considerate to us and to the elderly woman traveling with us. The tour of Ephesus was delightful and unforgettable for us. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable. The driver was a gentleman. All in all, a wonderful tour and one I would not hesitate to take again and recommend to others.
