Excellent tour with a highly experience tour guide. Fatima is extremely knowledgeable and most importantly genuine as a person. She's helpful and goes out of her way to make sure that everyone learned the history of Ephasus and Turkey. Lunch was awesome and Ephasus is beautiful. I'm glad I choose this company, they made my experience wonderful. Thank you Fatima! To add on, the carpet tour is worth going. You learned something about Turkish carpet art. If you said no, they do not bother you or pressure you into buying.Donesi1970
