Exceded my expectations - I expected only a ephesus tour, but got a tour of the whole area I saw the remains of the Temple of Artemis which was nearby and I didn’t know it was there, the restaurant was the best one so far, and the guide Ardem helped us a lot and explained everything totally recommended
