This tour is great value for money, our tour guide for Ephesus was amazing and very informative. Very engaging. The guide for the next day at Pamukale was lovely but not so informative. All the other tour guides were following their clients with information etc, however this guide provided information to the city and pools and then left us to it. I would have liked explanations at each site.. The overnight accomodation was excellent and all transfers were great.

It was a great experience!!! Our guide named OZ was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Walking through the ruins in Ephesus is like waking back in history. I really like our driver too he is good. The Pamukkale experience is a must in the warm travertine is once in a lifetime and you must do it. It’s hot and quite a walk and it’s amazing experience.. Also do not forget to swim in Cleopatra pool with 2000 year old column, Roman ruins in the water!
