We were a small English tour group, and had an amazing experience discovering the ancient city of Ephesus. Our tour guide Alpi was great! He lead the way with short informative stories, integrating modern day life. He was a bit comical- making us laugh and appreciate the history part of this. We enjoyed all the stops including lunch. The ride was comfortable and flew by. Highly recommend and rate it 5 stars.
