Our guide Onder did a great job! He met us on time, got us in a comfortable van and provided an interesting narrative of the history of the area using a map. Our driver did a great job too-very friendly and helpful. Once on site and after we purchased tickets, Onder again gave compelling information on the sights we were seeing at Ephesus, which is worth the effort to see. I had no idea about how well preserved this archeological treasure is! The way to see Ephesus is with a small group-the small van could maneuver to the entrance easily, requiring less walking just to get to the entrance. After we walked through the grounds and exit, there was the van again amongst a sea of buses-and out we drove!
Once back in Kusadasi, I asked Onder to recommend a restaurant close to the cruise port. He not only recommended one, he walked us there, spoke to the staff about what time we needed leave, helped us order and departed!
We had a great lunch sampling local fare with an amazing view and walked out on time to reboard our ship. I highly recommend Onder and this tour-well done Onder!
