A fantastic shore excursion! We explored Ephesus at our own pace and avoided the large crowds. The guide was insightful, and the private vehicle made the journey comfortable. Everything was timed perfectly for our return to the cruise ship. Truly an unforgettable day.

Overall, it was a great tour. However, we felt that the time at the Temple of Artemis was a bit too short. The rest of the trip was fantastic, and the guide was very informative.
