We chose a private tour because we are elderly and didn’t want an early start for our tour of Ephesus. We also felt that a private tour could be tailor-made to our needs and shortened if necessary. We indeed did have a later start at 10. The guide was early, friendly and experienced, so it was a good start. We soon found that our guide had her script and was going to stick to it regardless of what we already knew or in what we were interested. She continued in transmit mode throughout the tour. I specifically said that I was keen on the Biblical context of Ephesus and particularly interested in the Theatre and the Agora. While we were guided in the Theatre, we were left to our own devices (with instructions) for the Library and the Agora - disappointing!
