The best tour we've ever taken! Ephesus was breathtaking, and the guide's knowledge was impressive. The Basilica of St. John was a highlight. The Turkish lunch was tasty. This experience was perfectly planned and offered excellent value.

The Ephesus ruins are impressive, and the guide shared great information. However, the tour felt a bit commercial, and the lunch options were not the best. Still, it was a good way to see the highlights.
