    Picked me up from my hotel, went to meet tour guide in a bus. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We went to multiple sites, ate lunch, wine tasting. Only downside was that it was too windy to go ziplining and there were a few “stop here and get a sales pitch” areas, but these are minor complaints. The trip was fun, safe, educational and cheaper than taking a taxi to one location let alone all the places we visited. Highly recommended.

    I really enjoyed my outing to Ephesus. The driver was on time picking me up at my hotel. Nisam, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. He was super friendly and made plenty of good jokes:). A super lunch was served, and we were shown beautiful carpets and pottery and introduced to the craftsmen and their process.
