My Review
The Ephesus tour was fantastic, and we were done by noon. That would have been fine. However, we were then taken to a ceramic place where we had a demonstration of how traditional ceramics were made, and then we were taken to the store, where we felt compelled to buy something. After that, our lunch was at a carpet-making store. Apparently lunch was offered by the store. Then we were put in a room with closed doors and submitted to an hour and a half long presentation of carpets, and once again felt compelled to buy. We did not buy anything. The problem is that we were sold a full-day tour of Ephesus with a typical lunch, not a shopping trip for half a day.

Very nice. I wish the places weren't so crowded, but that is definitely not your fault. The tour was great!
