This was a life-changing experience. Standing in Ephesus where Paul once preached was so powerful. Cappadocia's beauty was the perfect way to end an incredible tour. I highly recommend this trip.

Cappadocia was stunning, and the biblical sites were worth visiting. However, I expected more time to explore the locations, as some places were a bit rushed. Overall, the tour was insightful and fulfilling.
