GREAT GUIDE!!!!

5.00The guide Ali was really great! He was very well informed and explained to us a lot about Ephesus. He was patient and gave us extra time where it was possible. He even offered to take pictures for us as a family and even hopped in for a couple himself. He was truly a great guy. He made the experience truly great and made us all feel comfortable. It was truly an honor having him as a guide. We also went in January so there was no lines! Now apart from that the only thing we did not like was that lunch was served in a rug making place. And we had a rug tour right after which we did not find too interesting as we were not interested in buying. Besides that the lunch was really good.
Superb

5.00Wear comfortable shoes. It was actually nice coming in December - not hot or crowded. The weather was beautiful. We were able to take lots of picture without having a crowd of people in our photos.
