    Unforgettable experience
    We had the pleasure of experiencing a private Biblical tour with Ertunga and our wonderful driver "Veggie!" Words can't describe our journey-from the amazing sites in Istanbul, to the Aegean coast, tracing the steps of St Paul through the seven churches, down to the Mediterranean and Antalya, to Konya and Cappadocia-everything was so well planned by Ertunga. The places we stayed were phenomenal, the food was amazing and most of all, the time we spent with Ertunga and Veggie was so impressionable. Ertunga is so knowledgable about the Christian movement in Turkey and we gained so much insight, not only from a religious perspective but the remarkable Turkish culture. We had so many wonderful conversations and really feel like we have two new, great friends. They are so kind and thoughtful-every day was a delight. we will never forget this life changing experience.

    8 days private tour for 4, Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya
    We had wonderful vacations with Ertunga's company. Everything was very well organized, we had a good time, loved the country and the guides who showed it to us. Maria and Erunga were overseeing the whole trip and were always available to help out when needed. We recommend it.

    Doesn't get better than this.
    This was a privately curated 21 day trip for just 2 people, starting and ending in Istanbul. After quite a bit of research into tour operators we contacted Ertunga and asked him to put together a 3 week tour for us. We weren't specific about where we wanted to go (except Cappadocia) as we were more than happy to go with what he recommended, we just wanted an authentic Turkish experience, exploring the history and culture of the country. We covered most of the western part of Turkiye. There were many emails back and forth over several months. We stipulated a private driver and dedicated private guide for the whole time. We tweeked the itinerary that first came through, as we looked at the places chosen and the distances needed to travel on any particular day. We dropped some and added others. Additionally we opted for some more 'up market' accommodations along the way. What we got was a stunning, cram packed, deep and rich experience full of history, great food and fun times over the course of the trip. This was all enhanced by our extraordinary, kind and caring driver Yalcin and our experienced and knowledgable guide Asil. They were our constant companions for the trip and we became great friends during the time. We traveled in luxury in a beautiful Mercedes van equiped with a small fridge for cool drinks and Yalcin saw to it that we had lollies every day! He was a careful and cautious driver. What Asil doesn't know about the history of Turkiye isn't worth knowing. He could answer every question we put to him and it is clear he takes pride in his work. Apart from his expert historical knowledge, he also knew all the places to take us for lunch every day, which was included in the package. We tasted every possible kind of Turkish food and it was delicious. As with every trip there are always a few things that don't go according to plan and the guys were there to help us with any matter that need a 'local' to sort out- ATM's keeping our bank cards for example!! They really went above and beyond in seeing we were looked after, even offering to drive us to, and pick us up from places where we had dinner at night. I would thoroughly recommend Ertunga and his team to anyone.

    Turkey Biblical Tour, Istanbul and Cappadocia
    14-day trip to Turkey with Felicity Travel and Ertunga Ecir as the tour guide: The tour company, Felicity Travel, hosted a 14-day trip to Turkey with the theme being the Seven Churches of Revelation. The trip was well-organized and professionally conducted. Ertunga Ecir, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the people, customs, history, and geography of Turkey. He gave informational lectures each day in the van and at each site that we visited. He went well beyond the “call of duty” to help with a medical issue that one of the travelers had. The accommodations were first-rate and nicely located, and the meals were either a sumptuous buffet or order from a menu. Travel was on a comfortable Mercedes touring van with our professional driver Vegi. WIFI was always available as we traveled. The whole trip greatly exceeded our expectations. Turkey is a wonderful country to visit with its beautiful landscape and amazing archaeological ruins. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in exploring Turkey’s culture, history, cuisine, and tradition. We give it a 5+ star rating!

    A Memorable, Worry-free Tour
    The sites visited were fascinating. The guide, Volcan, was knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs. The logistics were all cared for by the guide so that we had nothing to concern ourselves with except enjoying the trip. The driver and vehicle were excellent. We would very highly recommend Felicity Travel to anyone. They are people of integrity.

    Memorable Turkey fun filled trip
    Seven good friends since elementary/high school traveled from the US, Philippines, Portugal and Germany and met at Turkey for 10-days private tour arranged by Ertunga Ecir/Felicity Travel. Our travel arrangements were very organized from airport pick up/drop off, our daily tours, lunch, transfers, local flights from Istanbul to Kayseri to Izmir, Denizil and back to Istanbul. Our hotels accommodations were awesome. Maria was very responsive using Whatsup app no matter what time of the day. We were able to see Byzantine Hippodrome, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazar, Bosphorous private boat tour, Spice Market, Suleymeniye Mosque, Taksim Square while in Istanbul. Ride the Hot Air Balloon, visit the Goreme Open Air Museum, Monks Valley, Dervent Valley, Pigeon Valley and more at Cappadocia. Walk through the House of Virgin Mary, Ancient City, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. Visit Aphrodosias Ancient City, Pamukale and more. All our travel guides were professional, pleasant and fun to be with. All these were perfectly arranged by Ertunga and team for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Ertunga and team for your travel needs at Turkey!

    Five Stars and Above!
    Felicity Travel gave our group of six a 5-star-plus tour! We began with a 2-day walking tour of Istanbul, then traveled to the sites of the 7 churches in Revelation 2 & 3; ending at Cappadocia. Our guide Ertunga gave us a talk about the history, mythology & culture of each site, then read the specific Bible passages & explained how they relate to each one. His knowledge of history, Greek & Roman mythology and the Bible is outstanding. He made the Bible come alive and we learned so much, we felt like we received a college course every day! Cappadocia was a perfect place to end our trip. The Kayapki cave hotel was fabulous. The early morning balloon ride was amazing! Our guide and driver were wonderful. They took care of our every need, from hotels, to transportation, to delicious lunches & dinners, to small details like fresh fruit, snacks and drinks on the van. They both went above and beyond to help when one of our group fell and had to be taken to the hospital. They worked overtime to help with translation, rearranging our tour schedule the last 3 days and coordinating with the hospitals & travel insurance company. We enjoyed our trip immensely. It was outstanding & far above our expectations. We highly recommend Felicity Travel!

    Wonderful Experience in Turkey
    This tour group is highly recommended. They are very reliable, kind and will go beyond to help. My husband left his backpack in our hotel in Izmir. They took care of it for us. Sent it over to the airport and plane leaving for Istanbul. By the time we reached Istanbul from another airport. Their driver had the backpack of laptap and other important stuff in it. We will be forever grateful to all of them. Ertunga, Maria and our guide, Tuna. A country so rich of history and culture. They provided all the local cuisine lunches, I put on some weight, thanks to them. All the guides are knowledgeable, entertaining and kind. If there is more than 5 stars, I will give them 10 stars. I traveled all over the world for 30 years. They are by far the best tour company I have ever had.

    15 Wonderful days in Turkiye
    Thank you Ertunga and Felicity Travel for a great tour of Turkiye. From day one we could see it was going to be an amazing experience. Everything was so well planned. The hotels were all very nice. We never had to think about anything except sit back and enjoy ourselves. Our guide Umut was so knowledgeable. Everyplace we visited he knew the history behind it. It was amazing how he knew so much about every Roman or Greek ruins we visited. Even the history of the areas before the Romans / Greeks. He answered any questions we had. Our driver was very professional, and we always felt safe while travelling. Umut picked out so many good places for our lunches. Being a private tour Umut was able to adjust our tour so we could see everything we were supposed to while avoiding the crowds. Our 15 days in Turkiye were made unforgettable by Ertunga / Maria and Umut. Istanbul is a must-see city. Our first day was a walking tour of the city. The architecture of the buildings is amazing. The Mosques are unbelievably beautiful. Every day was a new experience. From Istanbul to our time along the Mediterranean we enjoyed every minute. Troy to Ephesus. Then to the centre of the country and up to Kapadokya for for a couple of days. The hot air balloon ride over the fairy chimneys is a must to do. I would recommend anybody traveling to Turkiye book through Felicity Travel. You will not receive a better trip from anyone else. I cannot say enough good things about Felicity Travel.

    Beautiful Turkey
    We had such a wonderful trip of Turkey thanks to Ertunga and his team! Transfers were arranged in a comfortable Mercedes van (we had 6 people in our group). We had a private tour guide at each of the places that we visited. Each of our guides was great! The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and took good care of us. Our whole itinerary was designed by Ertunga's tour company and they made all the bookings (domestic flights, hotels, tickets for attractions etc.). We had certain dietary requirements (vegetarian food) and they made sure those were taken care of everyday at every place. The vehicles used were very comfortable, had water at all times, charging port was also available & plenty of storage. The tour company and guides were flexible to accomodate adjustments to our itinerary as per our needs such as ending early when we were jet-lagged or switching lunch places if we asked for a certain kind of meal. There is a lot of walking required to see places in Turkey.. Istanbul esp. has mainly all walking tours. We had connected with this tour company on Whatsapp and they were very responsive to all our questions and needs throughout our trip. Some highlights of the trip : hot air balloon ride in Capadoccia was wonderful, exploring Istanbul by foot and taking the boat tour were very enjoyable, Pamukale was quite unique, the Hamam bath experience was nice too, underground city in Cappadoccia was very interesting. This tour company arranged all of these for us and more. All in all, we really enjoyed visiting Turkey through this tour company and highly recommend them!

    2-week tailor-made private tour from Istanbul to Antalya
    We picked Felicity Travel and Ertunga Ecir as our tour operator based on excellent reviews. During the planning phase, the company / Mr Ertunga responded without delay, positively and constructively, and amended and adjusted the itinerary and hotels as we requested. After 14 days of travel with Mr Ertunga as our guide (and an experienced and safe driver) we conclude that the tour turned out to be better than expected, with so many excellent sites under way giving us the highligths of Greek, Roman and Ottoman times, the Christian influence and Turkish history, both old and contemporary. The hotels were over all excellent, the majority being smaller boutique type establishments. We (4 people) had a comfortable and spacious mini-bus, and there was always cold water and a variety of soft drinks and snacks available free of charge. Mr Ertunga was a knowledgeable, service-minded and well-organized man.

    Private Turkey tour
    My husband and I just finished an incredibly well organized trip with Felicity travel. Maria set up our privateitinerary and hotels and was quickly responsive both before and during the trip. Our drivers and guides were always punctual . Our guides included Hakan in Istanbul, Volcan in the Aegean region and Nilay in Cappadokia. All were extremely knowledgeable about their regions and we learned in depth about the history and culture. We hope to be back with Felicity again!

    Unforgettable custom, private tour experience to enjoy Turkey traveling
    We recently embarked on a 14-day journey through the beautiful country of Turkey, thanks to our private tour guide Ertunga Ecir, owner of Felicity Travel, our experience was wonderful. Ertunga and his team are all very professional and responsible. Before the trip, we worked together efficiently to create a private custom itinerary that fits our style of vacation, including dates, accommodations, tourist attraction/activities, transportation methods etc. Once we started, we are happy to find everything was well organized and smoothly executed. As a guide, we definitely learned many interesting facts and stories about Turkey and enjoyed Ertunga's company. Both factors contribute to our pleasant travel experience! As a tour operator, we also appreciate Felicity Travel's passion to make clients happy as much as they can. For example, after a week in the trip, we craved for having some Asian food (which is quite rare in Turkey), and Ertunga were able to find two decent Chinese restaurants for us. That is nice. Turkey is a great country to visit, amazing people, culture, history and scenery. If you ever plan to visit, we highly recommend Ertunga @ Felicity Travel.

    Personalised private tour
    Booking a private tour in Cappadocia with Ertunga and his team was the best decision we made. He tailored the experience to our interests, and we got to visit the must-go spots, with a private tour guide around and her detailed explanations. The highlight was sipping Turkish coffee in the best viewpoint of Cappadocia while enjoying the companion with my other half. Truly an unforgettable experience!

Ertunga was God sent! We did a lot of research on tours and we picked him because he was very responsive and attentive to our needs. We were able to travel to all the sites safely and although we traveled in a Pandemic, Ertunga was always very good in making sure we enjoyed our tours. He is extremely knowledgeable and even my 10 month old daughter loved being around him that she cried when we finished the 5 day tour. Thank you Ertunga for taking care of us so well. To those afraid to do tours or travel to Turkey in a Pandemic, don't be afraid! Just use precaution and wear a Mask!

We had an amazing time in Turkey and our guide Ertunga was incredibly knowledgeable. We were able to see so much in the short time we had and enjoy each place without feeling rushed. Ertunga was by far the best host-tour guide and felt privileged to spend time with him. We had such a great time that we are planing a second trip this year!

I have been everywhere and we always hire private tours (for my wife and I). Never I have found such professionalism in a tour provider. 5 Days is not enough. We spent 2 days in istanbul, then we flu to Capapdocia, Izmer (Ephesus) and Hierapolis.

In every place we had an almost new Mercedes Van, Driver (very decent guys) and the tourist Guide (2 of them with 2 college degrees). Best hotels Istambul Ritz Carlton, Cappadocia Kayakapi and Kusadasi Charisma de Luxe. (google them)

FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY.
