Day trip to Ephesus - A worthy trip if you're into religious history and sentiment Props to Eren for being punctual, knowledgeable and very accommodating on this trip. You MUST go into the Museum Got a pretty good deal from Peron Tour and love that we were able to show off getting better deals than other guests who booked elsewhere.

My Day Trip to the House of Virgin Mary and Ephesus - It was an informative tour of the House of Virgin Mary and Ephesus. I knew nothing about both these places but Eren, our guide, was on hand to tell us the background story behind these two sites. The House of Virgin Mary is a quiet, peaceful place and Ephesus was monumental and both sites are highly recommended!

1-day tour to Ephesus. - Everything was well organized, accompanied by our guide EREN, we shared a group with 4 girls from Bombay and it was pleasant. Eren has made the tour enjoyable and explained everything well. Perhaps I would have stayed longer in Epheso and skipped the visit to the Turkish specialties. But good rating as a guide. I recommend this agency.

Good experience. Wanted more guidance. - Good trip. Eren was nice. Wish we had more of a history guide. Didn't really guide us much but let us have a lot of free time. Took an hour to pick up others at only 3 hotels in town before we left. Not upset we went but could have been better.
