I am just writing to say THANK YOU for organising a wonderful tour of Ephesus. We had a great cruise on P & O Oriana and the highlight must be the tour to Ephesus. The tour guide picked us on time and we had him exclusively with his driver. What a guy, full of interesting knowledge and so helpful. We got there early which was great as we had the place to ourselves which was very different when we left. There was only 2 people in the amp i-theatre which was great so it was magic standing there in 2015 and seeing things from centuries ago. We will certainly recommend your organisation to friends” – Barbara Turner (UK)
