Godze was a wonderful tour guide throughout all of the Biblical high points of Ephesus! She was very knowledgeable of each site, the Turkish history as well as the Biblical history to tie it all together. The lunch was amazing and came at just the right time. Godze had many suggestions, all which were very helpful. This was one of our favorite tours from our cruise. Truly amazing to see places in the Bible come to life.

Guide was kind, friendly, and made sure we saw all the sights we were interested in.

I chose this tour based on reviews and webpage info. While I had hoped for a more biblically based approach and insights, it was still a good tour. At one point I did feel like the tour was a "front" to a carpet and pottery sales company; however, there was no pressure to buy, but it took away from the specialness of the tour.

I would recommend the company to others. Just know you will need to have sufficient cash on hand to pay for the lunch (it was really good local food) and any attraction you choose to go into.

The dedicated Driver was also safe and courteous. Always on time and waiting with a cool vehicle when we returned.
