Great tour of the Ephesus sites.

The tour was great, very informative. Our guide was friendly and very considerate to our need for shade. He shared lots of interesting information about the sites and surrounding idea. He timed our visit to the House of the Virgin Mary to perfection to avoid the crowds! The transport was comfortable and air conditioned. The day could not have been better!
