5 Day Turkey Tour (Istanbul-Ephesus-Pamukkale)

My family and I visited turkey at the end of 2010..we were very impressed with our tour guides Mr Nizam Adsiz as as well as Mrs Aylin Sekban.. Both spoke good english and we managed to develop a friendship with both of them which made the tours more enjoyable. Will definitely be going back to Turkey.

We have just arrived from Turkey, we had an splendid adventure from Efesus to Capadoccia, visiting wonderful cities and archeological sites. Pamukkale, Afrodisias, Sagalassos….Konya, everything was wonderful Ertunga, Blüent and Mustafa made our journey fantastic.

Ertunga is a great guide, super friendly, very big knowledge of the area and very pleasant to be around. He arrived with a driver and a Mercedes van, good space for the 3 of us. He made the tour as we went along, so we did see exactly what we wanted, and as our son is only 4 years old, we did have to speed up some places. All made possible by Ertunga, though I am sure he could tell much more in each place, since his knowledge seems extreme. Be sure to book with Ertunga.

Amazing guide with a lot of patience and a wealth of information about every sight we visited. Would definately recommend him highly for a smaller or a larger group.

Turkey wouldn’t be the same without Ertunga…he treated us just like family and was the best private tour I could ever have !!!

Everything went as planned and we did not had any inconvenience. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and transportation vans were in excellent condition. Maria at Felicity Travel and her staff are very professional. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Turkey. Excellent work!!!

We enjoyed this trip very much! The tour was well planned and transfer arrangements went smoothly. The guides were all very knowledgeable and made the entire experience so much more meaningful with rich historical context. The itinerary covered all the places we wanted to visit and did not feel rushed. Communication with the tour agency Felicity was clear and responsive. Would highly recommend this this tour to anyone visiting Turkey.

We (a group of 5 friends from Boston) are just back from a 12-day private tour of Turkey organized by Ertunga Ecir. We loved the tour and really appreciate all the work that Ertunga put in organizing the tour and making sure that everything went perfect. We highly recommended Ertunga's services to everybody who wants to have a well organized private tour of this fascinating country.

We have done ca. 4500 km from Adana to Trabzon. Every day was discovery - biblical places, Urartian civilisation, modern museums, nimrod mountain.. we had excellent guide Asil, professional driver Khalil and all people who have met us so friendly. Can recommend to everyone, who is interested in history, archeology.

We went to Turkey starting in Istanbul, then Gallipoli, Izmir, Ephesus, Pergammon, Troy, Aphrodisias, Pammukale and Cappadocia. We arranged the whole trip with Ertunga. He made suggestions and we together adjusted the itinerary. We were collected at the airport and taken to our hotel. At all times Ertunga was extremely punctual, very knowledgeable and flexible. In a country like Turkey where the language is “impossible” it is invaluable to have a local guide you. He got us great guides in Istanbul and Cappadocia who took us to local restaurants to eat the Turkish food, they invariably knew where to take “that photo”. His drivers were lovely fellows, very grateful for google translate! We took hundreds of photos saw amazing mosques, Roman and Greek ruins, bazaars and learned much history first hand about this fascinating part of the world. We would strongly recommend Ertunga and his team to independent travellers who want the personal tour experience.

Tour was excellent. Our driver, Edogan and our guide Umut were top notch. Very helpful, accomodating and always ready to please us. Food was very good, and many times we went to try high quality home made food, not touristic restaurants. On our way to Cappadoccia, while buying juices and crafts from a lady (Aysha) at the entrance of a Ronan accueduct, she invited us to visit her house and garden and we had a great time. I think the tour could add some visits like his that allows visitors to interact and better understand the local culture.
