We had an excellent tour with Deniz. We were able to start early and she was right there when we came off our ship at 7:30am. The driver was very good and the van we were in was the most luxurious one we have had - very nice and comfortable. Originally, we didn’t think we would have time for the The House of Mary but since we started early, this was our first stop which was a bonus. During the drive, Deniz gave us the history of the house which was very detailed and concise. The visit was wonderful, very peaceful and meaningful. We then went to to Ephesus where Deniz knew everything. We were able to get the full history of the various empires and she brought to life the ruins. The Terrace Houses were incredible and a must see. I highly recommend not trying to do Ephesus on your own as there is a lot of information that you can only get if you do all the research yourself which would take a long time and even then, you will not be sure what you are always looking at. Deniz took us to an old local restaurant where we had lunch. The food was delicious. My group was very impressed with Deniz and also she is a very nice person, very happy and positive. You will have a great tour with her.
