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.
