Ephesus tour with Funda - This tour was excellent and our tour guide Funda was quite knowledgeable, and super friendly. She even took us on additional activity because we finished earlier than expected and had time. I highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky you will get Funda as your guide. The lunch was also very good. We came during the winter so had the opportunity to buy the entry tickets ourselves with credit card.

Best Tour Ever!! - Ali S. was personable, informative, and genuinely engaging — it felt like we’d been friends for years! We visited all the major sites, and Ali took amazing care of us throughout. He perfectly timed each stop to avoid large crowds, and we ended the day with a wonderful meal where he explained each dish in detail. We came away feeling like we truly understand so much more about this incredible country. As a bonus, Ali even added an extra stop where I got to try my hand at pottery under the guidance of a master — something not included in the original tour, but arranged so we could skip the long lines at Ephesus. His passion and knowledge really showed, and anyone considering this tour should not hesitate to book with him.

Great tour! - The small group made it easy to visit The House of Mary and the Ephesus site. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He timed our visits to avoid the crowds, picked us up promptly, and was fun to talk to.

I thought I'd find myself... - I thought I'd end up with some passengers from my boat this didn't happen , fortunately the guide (unfortunately I don't remember her first name a young woman) spoke French , so she was very kind she translated what she told me to the people in the group / You should know that the duration of the excursion is 7h and not 5h / The temple of Artemis we didn't get out of the car . But the guide was very professional and it is a very interesting excursion.
