Good to have a guide when visiting historical scenic spot - It's good to have a day trip instead of going by yourself. We have a considerate and sincere guide Isik, beside sharing historical and educational background of the spots, she would share her point of view as well as some factual data behind. Ephesus is worth visiting. And the tour is great, we highly recommend it.
