“We had a wonderful time. Our guide, Memo, was amazing! He was very attentive and super informative, and to be honest he made the whole thing worth it by giving it so much depth. We even had time to go to some cool Turkish delights store and leather store (where we watched a fashion show!). How cool is that! This is my 3rd time in Turkey and Kusadasi, but my first time at Ephesus and at Mother Mary’s house. Thanks Memo for making it so memorable! Get it? Haha. Anyways.. I highly recommend him and the organization and I hope to come back soon and learn some more cool things!”
