Exploring the ancient wonders during our private excursion was a highlight of our trip, with the ruins offering a glimpse into a remarkable past. We particularly appreciated the visit to the house connected to Virgin Mary; it felt serene and sacred, allowing us to reflect amidst the history. While the guide was knowledgeably informative, there were moments when we wished for more time to soak in some of the sites. Overall, it was a fulfilling day that exceeded our expectations, despite a few minor timing issues that left us a bit rushed at the end. We returned to our accommodations feeling enriched by the experience and eager to share our newfound insights.

Our day spent at Ephesus was nothing short of remarkable, especially standing beneath the grand façade of the Library of Celsus. We loved the private aspect of the tour, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the sights without the usual crowds, though the pace sometimes felt rushed during our visit to the Virgin Mary House. The guide was passionate and shared fascinating tales that brought the ancient ruins to life, making our exploration feel deeply personal and enriching.
