A great day on the Ephesus tour

We had a great day on our tour. Our guide Ender was wonderful. He speaks excellent English and was very knowledgeable about all of our sites visited. Also he was flexible in arranging our day to what interested us the most. He offered some great suggestions and gave us time for pictures at all the sites. We visited St John’s tomb, House of Mary and Ephesus. We also had a great lunch and a visit to a ceramics shop. We would highly recommend a tour with this company and specifically with Ender.
