From Kusadasi: Full Day Private or Small Group Ephesus Tour

The tour itself was an excellent experience. Our guide was exceptional, providing detailed answers to all our questions and even taking us to places beyond the standard itinerary. His performance deserved full marks. However, there were some organizational issues. Despite booking for 8:30 AM, we received last minute notification that the group was preparing to leave only 45 minutes before departure. Limited internet access in Türkiye nearly meant we missed the start of the tour, forcing my wife and I to rush unexpectedly. Furthermore, the transition from visiting important historical sites like Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary directly to commercial stops was somewhat disrespectful of the solemn nature of the previous sites and somewhat jarring.

The tour ad's claim of fast track entry proved false. The guide also took an unplanned break from his high pressure carpet and ceramic sales demonstration. This misleading approach seemed completely dishonest and exploitative.
