Ephesus is amazing, and this tour with Turco Travel made it even better. Selçuk was a great guide who made sure we saw all the important sites without feeling rushed. The lunch was also excellent!

The ruins of Ephesus were incredible, but I didn't enjoy the shopping stops. Less shopping and more historical exploration would've made it perfect.
