“Bill was our tour guide and he was incredible! He has a PhD in Archeology and grew up in Ephesus - he was an absolute wizard with so much information and also such interesting color commentary throughout our tour. We had a great meal and very comfortable car service for the trip. We didnt mind that there were 'salesy' pitches at the market and carpet co-op but I realize that might not be for everyone. We enjoyed the experience and learning more about the culture and country. We did not do the Turkish bath.”
