Stop At: Ephesus Museum, Selcuk Turkey

Ephesus is an important place in Christian history as it is recognized as the final residence of Mother Mary.

They did spend their last years in Ephesus which was a very prosperous trading city

The House of the Virgin Mary is located 6 kms (3.7mi) from Ephesus and surrounded by pine and olive trees. It is made of stone and looks very small and humble. Outside the house is a "wishing wall" which pilgrims have used by tying their personal intentions on paper or fabric. A water source is also located nearby, believed to have miraculous powers of healing. The shrine was visited by several popes.

Our tour English language tour ended up being an English, Spanish, Turkish tour. It's not easy to say the same thing in 3 languages. We could over hear other guides in English giving much more in depth descriptions. We also did not go to the St John Basilica or Isa Bey Mosque which are supposed to be included in this package.

The tour was good and the tour guide was quite knowledgeable. However, there was a stopover at a leather factory that was not on the itinerary with the intent of getting us to buy some products. I could have done without that.

Excellent trip really interesting and informative guide Adam/ Ardem. It was just 2 of us on the tour with Adam. All very interesting and highly recommended - the only thing that detracted from the tour was the usual visit to a local crafts shop where the craft was demonstrated interesting but then felt a little pressured to buy as there was just two of us. Overall highly recommended.

Reliable company...did not cancel group tour even though my wife and I were the only ones booked. Would give our guide ADEM 10 stars if possible. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Tour was excellent . .
