I initially book a tour but because of the strife in various locations in Turkey I cancelled the reservation prior to us leaving for the cruise. Then 1 day just as the ship was scheduled to depart our previous port in Greece, I made a call an rebooked a shore excursion and it was not the same as the initial booking, but that was A-OK the guide we had was absolutely PHENOMENAL and what was special about this tour was we had a DRIVER and a GUIDE, so the guide was free to really guide and not have to concentrate on driving an only commentate. Our guide Ilker was absolutely hands down the BEST guide we have ever had, I would recommend him to anyone who travels to Ephesus/Kusadasi, Turkey. The tour included lunch and the lunch location was so very special, since we had the car, driver and guide for the day we did something that was not included on this particular tour. I wanted to visit the Virgin Mary site, so we did visit and we had to pay that day for the visit, but something no other guide we've ever had paid the entrance fee upfront and then said to us give it back to me at the end of the tour - SPECIAL!!!
