This is an absolute must, you must have seen and blissful with smaller cool group - We had a great day with our Guide Güray and our group of 19 people. Because of the small group we could also understand Güray well, he also had a clear and loud voice and gave us good and fascinating explanations about the area. He also took his time for everything, we were over 3 hours in the old city of Ephes where normally only 2 hours is spent. We were also given plenty of time to take pictures. Also during the ride we got a lot of info. Sirinci was also great fun walk. also the carpet weaving was Top experience, they try to sell afterwards but not intrusive. The great thing about this tour is that everything is included, transport, tickets, lunch (which was also very tasty by the way)... only the drinks you pay for yourself, but at normal prices. This tour is highly recommended, also drive comfortable mercedes van with air conditioning and careful experienced driver. Often you see cheaper prices but there are no tickets or lunch included... thx to Güray

We began at Mary’s home near the ruins, followed by a tour of the ruins and terrace souses, then on to Artimus Temple. A great tour! The best part is Gul’s extensive command of history, fluent English and great personality!
