Great cruise excursion option - This is a great option for a cruise excursion that is a much better price point that provided by your cruise line. Shortly after booking, I was contacted on WhatsApp to confirm my booking and ensure that I booked the right time, place, and date. The meeting point for the excursion was simple enough, with a picture provided and right outside the port. I was surprised that it was a small group for our tour, just 6 people. So it was very intimate and more comfortable. Our guide was knowledgeable, really nice, and accommodating. They made sure we were comfortable, safe, and had a good time. Our guide provided little 'evil eyes' as a keepsake and ribbon for the Virgin Mary house wishing wall. Lunch was very good. It was a simple menu, so basically no choices. We waited at the lunch/carpet making demonstration place for the House of the Virgin Mary to be less busy before making our way there. We finished the tour by visiting a ceramic workshop. As many have noticed as said, the carpet and ceramics are neat but do feel like a sales pitch.

Ephesus with The House of Mary - Orcun was an awesome guide. Knowledgeable and so patient! He never made us feel rushed even though we were late to the tour. Ephesus was amazing, and the House of Mary background from Orcun helped. I highly recommend this tour.

Excelent tour with very considerate team - It's a great tour with amazing sites.. but be prepared for a long walk in high temperatures. Lunch was excellent. Our private tour guide "Rosie" not her actual name was delightful, knowledgeable and very considerate to me disabled partner. As was our lovely driver Mouzo (sp?) You helped her get in and out of the fantastic minivan.
