How many people are in this group and are there any children?

The group size is around 8 - 14 pax on these tours and there might be child but at the moment there is no child on this departure

This is described as a "private group tour." I am confused. Would this be a private tour, with just my friend and me (2 or 3 people), or would we be part of a larger group?

This tour will be operated on small group basis. Not Private. The given rates are for group basis. But if you like, we can quote it on private basis as well

Is Ephesus part of this tour? If not - is it possible to do? We have a spare night available if needed as we plan to fly in on the 12th of July and fly out on the 20th of July.

So this is the price per person as a private group of two? Also, how does the cost change for 5 star hotels?
