Great House of Virgin Mary, Ephesus, and Temple of Artemis Tour - Emma, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, extremely flexible (rearranging order of attractions while checking ahead for crowds/queues, for example), and fun. The historical places came to life through her stories. The lunch was great, too: mostly vegetarian and totally delicious. Don't miss the museum/AV experience at Ephesus - one of the best such productions I've ever seen.
