About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- photai70 contributionsBe prepared to be wowed.My husband and I just returned from an 18 day private car tour along the western and southern coast, central regions and Istanbul. We are still in awe trying to process all that we've seen. It was a phenomenal trip from start to finish. Ertunga and Maria were helpful in setting up an itinerary which took into consideration a hiking request, as well as a visit to a small village that my daughter had recommended. They were very patient with us as we had to sort out potential flight issues before our arrival. We were fortunate to have Volkan as our guide. We truly believe that he is the gold standard guide: warm, respectful, attentive, intelligent, and knowledgeable, especially in the historical department! And it was an added bonus to have him, a musician, select music for us during the ride, and to have his artistic input in taking photos and videos of us during the trip. Sebo, our driver, was careful and skillful and we appreciated the extra side trip to the shopping mall so that I could purchase hiking shoes which I forgot to pack. The itinerary was perfect with the right mix of rural and urban, sea and mountains, history and culture. All of the hotels were carefully chosen and we loved the variety in each place. We were not expecting to have such a newfound love for Turkey and its people, and it is through our experiences with this wonderful travel company that has allowed this to occur. Thank you so much for giving us this beautiful experience.Written 9 October 2024
- bichngoct1440 contributionsThe magical tour of Turkey.We took the 14-days private toor with Ertunga. The experience was magical. We took almost 2000 videos & pictures and yet could not completely capture the beauty nor the history-rich of Turkey. Our tour guide and his staff was patient, calm, awesome, knowledgeable and we were well accommodated. The drive from Istanbul to Cappadocia was safe and comfortable. The food was delicious, and all visited ancient churches, ruins were beyond my imagination. Videos on the Internet can’t replace the views and the inspiration of being in person of each site. Thank you Ertunga and Felicity Tour. I would give the tour 6 Stars over the 5-Stars rating . Strongly recommend this tour, and you will want to come back again.Written 9 October 2024
- RTSMST0 contributions7 Churches of Revelation !!We had a wonderful historic and biblical tour of the seven churches of Revelation(chapter 2 & 3) in Turkiye with our tour guide Mr.Ozgur and our driver Mr.Ali. The private tour was well organised by Mr.Ertunga from Felicity Travels. It was an interesting, informative and learning experience travelling to these seven churches from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Visiting these churches in person and visually witnessing the scriptures being revealed by Christ to the apostle John was very real and overwhelming ! Ozgur gave us a lot of interesting historic and archaeological facts about these places and it was a privilege and joy to read the scripture passages together in these churches. It gave us a more meaningful biblical experience ! Thanks to Ozgur for giving us an interesting cultural journey through this part of Turkiye and we tasted some authentic Turkish cuisine: few of our favourites to mention, fresh hot Gozlemme with Ayran, Bulgur, SomeoriTang....! We enjoyed the accommodation and arrangements during this trip. Thanks to Mr.Ali for safely driving us around during our travel. We highly recommend Felicity Travels for an interesting touristic experience and biblical tours in Turkiye !Written 6 October 2024
- jenian1490 contributionsTerrific family fun in TurkeyFantastic experience. The tour was custom designed by Ertunga to fit our family needs. We saw everything we wanted to in our time frame, catering to our 3 university aged children & 14 yo. The guides were amazing. The booking process smooth & hassle free. All went according to plan & we learned so much & had so much fun. Highly recommend Turkey Private Tours by Ertunga Ecir & the team for all your travel in Turkey. It was simply the best!Written 5 October 2024
- QuynhT170 contributions10 ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ✨ stars private tourWe travelled as family and friends ( party of 8) with Felicity Travels. The ease of booking the itinerary to the minute details in accommodating the daily excursions we requested prior to the trip was great. Maria would answer our questions even at midnight in her time zone. Last minute changes were not an issue. Communication was very clear. Ertunga was our guide. No words to describe how entertaining and knowledgeable he was about Ancient History and all the little fun facts about all the sites we visited. He intuitively or most probably knew by experience exactly what the group was looking for in terms of visits. He managed to get a WOW! Every single day we spent with him. The hotels were top notch especially the Cave hotel in Cappadocia which made us feel like kings and queens. Ertunga understood how food and culture are crucial to making this trip outstanding for all of us. All the food was great and full of variety from elegant restaurants to local hole in the wall to freshly cooked homemade style by the locals. Unforgettable trip. Thank you Ertunga and Maria and our driver Veggie. 💖Written 4 October 2024
- 238earlw0 contributionsA wonderful guided tour of Izmir, Ephesus, and the local cultureMy wife and I were travelling with another couple. We were picked up by our guide (I'm sorry I can't remember her name) at the Izmir cruise port, and carried by her and driver all day in a comfortable private van until we said we had seen enough. She was warm and friendly, well educated on all subjects, and her English was excellent. We toured Ephesus in its entirety, and stopped at a village store to sample some authentic Turkish Delight and Baklava. We had a trip to the house of Virgin Mary then had lunch at a local open air restaurant where we were welcomed by the friendly staff clearly happy we stopped in. Our last stop was a tour of a facility where authentic Turkish rugs are made by hand.Written 3 October 2024

- O1094VCct0 contributionsWonderful experience in TurkeyWe thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Türkiye! Ertunga and Maria were extremely professional and kind. They took care of all of the details of our travel, including domestic flights, ground transportation, itinerary, lodging, and lunches. We learned so much from our guides, and they were very knowledgeable and attentive. If you want to explore the rich Biblical history of Türkiye, especially the seven churches, we would highly recommend Ertunga and his team.Written 28 September 2024
- Ramesh R0 contributionsMemorable TurkeyExcellent experience from start to finish. It was very easy to book the trip. Quick response to all our queries. The Hotels were excellent.

The Mercedes vans we travelled in were clean and comfortable. Our drivers were excellent and friendly. Overall a great and memorable trip. Highly recommend Felicity Travel.Written 26 September 2024
- Storyteller734960 contributionsAmazing Adventure in Turkey with Felicity TravelMy husband and I had an amazing 3-week adventure in Türkiye!! Thank you to Ertunga and Maria for organizing and tailoring our trip throughout Türkiye based on our interests (history, scenery, etc), for their quick responses to any questions/inquiries, and for the affordable price of the trip. The itinerary hit all the highlights and included sites we were thrilled to explore, but didn't know about them beforehand. The hotels were unique; most had amazing views. Transportation was top notch (shout out and thanks to our competent and always-smiling driver, Halil!) . We absolutely enjoyed our personal guide, Özgür: he was extremely personable, professional, knowledgeable, proficient in English, and fun to be with! He went above and beyond to show us places and provide us with experiences in addition to our itinerary list (sometimes rearranging site visits for a richer experience) and made the whole trip very pleasant. He was always concerned for our well-being and that we enjoyed each day. We highly recommend Felicity Travel company to anyone considering a private tour to Türkiye.Written 22 September 2024
- Camper256897766300 contributionsExtraordinary Trip to TurkeyWe have just returned from a 13-day private tour of Turkey Arranged by Ertunga and Mari Ecir, owners of FELICITY TRAVEL. Our tour guide was Mustafa and the driver was Vecdi. First let us tell you that the service from start to finish was superior. Ertunga spent a lot of initial upfront time with us customizing the itinerary to meet all of our requests. Once we landed Mari welcomed us to Istanbul and told us our guide’s name and what time he would meet us the next day to start our tour. The next day when we would start our tour at 9:30. We were in the lobby at 9:15 and our guide Mustafa was all ready there waiting. Mustafa was incredible. His historical explanations and background stories made the trip come to life. He took us to all the best lunch places where locals ate and this gave us a unique perspective of the local culture and customs. We can only say he made the trip great. Also, our trip included a tremendous amount of driving based on our itinerary so we want to extend a special thanks to our driver Vecdi. He did a great job keeping us safe all through the trip. With all that said if you do not use FELICITY TRAVEL for your next trip you are missing out on an experience of a life time. Thank you again, The Cerra FamilyWritten 21 September 2024
- lacartel10 contributionsWonderful timeWe had a 5 day private tour of the Aegean coast with Mesut as our guide and Savas as our driver. It was a wonderful time, far beyond our expectations. We have visited Troy, Assos, Pergamon, Ephesus, Priene, Miletos, Didym, Aphrodisias, Hierapolis. Mesut had our trip planned efficiently and with good balance, so we had plenty of time to relax in Kusadasi between the ruin visits. Also his knowledge and storytelling skill was amazing so that both history enthusiast like my self and my wife, who is not a history lover enjoyed and learned much about the region and every site. The food choices were perfect, every tea time after meal was lovely. We also had chance to familiarize ourselves with backgammon. Thanks to Savas we felt very safe on the road, also very efficient. So, this was by far the best private tour experience we had. Thank you Mesut and Savas, hope we will meet again soon.Written 20 September 2024

Our tour guide was the owner. He was already waiting for us at the port upon our cruise’s arrival. The van was new, clean, and air conditioned. It was a private tour for our family of 5 that we got tailored to our interests. Our guide was knowledgeable, polite, friendly, and took as much time as we wanted at each stop. He knew the routes that other tours were taking and we were able to avoid/beat all of the crowds. Plus, he took us to eat authentic food. We had a great time and this was easily one of the best tours we did on our trip. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to see Ephesus. Much cheaper than trips from the cruise ship and includes much more! Don’t even think twice about it!

We just returned from an amazing 8 day trip to Turkiye. Ertunga and Maria did a perfect job in planning this for us. They were very thoughtful and the trip went without a glitch. Marie went out of her way to even check us into our domestic flights. The lunches that were planned and included were amazing. While we were happy with all of our guides and drivers - special mention to Yelcin and Yelcin who were with us for 3 days in Izmir! We highly recommend them. We were travelling from the US.

We were guided by on a private tour to Ephesus, House of Virgin Mary and Pamukkale.
Mr. Ertunga is a superb guide who is very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. We were traveling in a group with kids and he was extremely friendly and patient with the kids as well.
He was extremely helpful to us in planning our trips in Goreme as well.
I highly recommend Mr. Ertunga to everyone who is travelling to Kusadasi and Ephesus. He is by far the best guide we had in Turkey.
