"Awesome!!! Our guide Hesna was fantastic. We were given plenty of time in Sirince and were treated to Turkish coffee and Turkish delights. We were given plenty of time at Ephesus. After leaving the ruins we went to the carpet market. The rugs were beautiful. We were back to meet our ship in plenty of time so not feel rushed. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Amazing!!!"
