Review of: Ancient Rome Under Istanbul
Selcuk Ephesus Tour was an excellent way to go for older adults! We had a great tour guide who really took care of his customers.

The ruins were unimaginable...a walk into time long ago. The guide gave us historic information that made the ruins reflect the time and understanding of how they lived.

We stayed at the Selena Hotel which even offered breakfast in the morning and was totally affordable. People were friendly everywhere we went.…
