Awesome tour with a wonderful guide - I booked this the day before. Lutfi was my guide for this private tour of Ephesus. He contacted me very promptly and picked me up at the hotel with the driver. He asked me which places I wanted to see and we went to Ancient ruins in Ephesus and to the House of Mary. Both places were amazing. Lutfi was very helpful and quite knowledgeable about the history and the customs. He let me take my time at all the places and was able to answer all my questions.
I would highly recommend Lutfi and this tour!
