First Class Tour of Ephesus - Our Guise Zena is personable, very knowledgeable and patient with us taking our time to explore the site of Ephesus. She spoke of history and culture of her city. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our tour. We did this tour with the cruise line before but we would recommend using this operator instead. We would highly recommend them. Please note that it’s a 4 hours of walking on uneven marbles and stones, it would be challenging for some.
