  • Ertunga's Tour: An Unforgettable Journey Beyond All Expectations

    D1871WAdeang,,May 24, 2025

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    5.00

    We are a 8-peole group and enjoyed an extraordinary journey, thanks to our kind, seasoned and remarkably knowledgeable tour guide, Ertunga Ecir. He masterfully arranged visits to the best historical sites, religious places, and natural wonders, ensuring a well-paced and enriching experience. Ertunga's deep understanding of religion, history, and culture, particularly the Greek and Roman transition, the shift from Paganism to Christianity, and Turkish history, was truly impressive. Beyond the sights, he was consistently flexible and accommodating, and made sure we savored genuine Turkish cuisine by taking us to fantastic local restaurants. With delicious food and unique, thoughtfully arranged accommodations. This trip would not be so successful without Mari's seamless coordination and Victor's skillful and reliable driving. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone eager to explore these pivotal historical periods, gain a better understanding of Turkey's rich past and enjoy Turkey's unique nature beauty.

    Turkey was surprising on every level. This is thanks to Felicity Travel! Their organisation of the tour; the variety and flexibility of the experiences we had from, hiking the beautiful Ihlara Valley, to the many amazing historical sites such as Ephesus to the unbelievable Goreme Valley cave churches; the comfortable travel they offered; the 4 star accommodation; outstanding genuine Turkish restaurants all were outstanding. But none of this would have mattered had we not had our amazing guide....Tuna. His easy manner made him very easy to connect with. Because it was a private tour we could and did talk to him often even while traveling. We felt got the real Turkish experience. Erschev was our driver was a lovely, very happy chap. See the photo below. I have told many people about our Turkish experience. At least one set of friends want to do the same 12 Day Private Tour that we did, next year. So I can happily recommend Felicity Travel to others because of the amazing Turkish experience we had.

    Ertunga and Mari were so great and detailed with all the accommodations. Everything was so well planned out that the 12 day private tour was so stress free and relaxful. We had very high rated accommodations from hotels to restaurants. Ertunga, tour guide, even drove to the airport in bad traffic to get my lost luggage at airport and brought it back to my hotel. Greatly appreciated. That just showed how they tried to provide the best service and went out of their way to make everything better if you run into any troubles. Also, the Turkish people including Ertunga and Mari are very nice and honest. I felt very safe walking around Turkey even at night. I found that Turkey is even safer than France or Italy because there are no gypsies begging for money. The Turkish people take pride and care in themselves and their families which is why you don’t see any homeless people. So overall, I had a wonderful time with Ertunga’s tour and would highly recommend all my friends and family members.

    We 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. 💖

  • Extraordinary Trip to Turkey

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    We 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 Family

  • Turkey exceeded all our expectations

    We took a two-week tour of Turkey with Felicity Travel in May 2024. Ertunga and his wife Maria organized a wonderful trip for 5 of us. They took care of every detail, choosing interesting sites to see, and incorporated outdoor adventures we wanted to include such as boat rides, swimming, and hiking and … a sunrise hot-air balloon ride! The hotels and meals were all incredible. Vicdi was a very good driver and spoiled us, stopping at vegetable stands to buy cherries, apricots, and the most delicious strawberries we ever tasted. The van was comfortable and had a map displayed which was very helpful. Cold water and wi-fi were always available. Every detail was covered and we learned so much from Ertunga about the long history of the region. I highly recommend touring Turkey with Felicity Travel. It is a marvelous way to see Turkey and you’ll get to experience all this wonderful country has to offer. Ertunga was the ultimate host – always making sure things were ok. Plus he’s a really nice guy!

    Let me start by saying, Ertunga and his team at Felicity Travels are simply the best! From the time, I first contacted him (two months before our travel), I found Ertunga to be a great combination of professional excellence with personal touch. Throughout the planning process and even during the trip, Ertunga was responsive and patient in answering questions, adapting scheduling requests, and addressing queries. Everyone on his team (2 different drivers, 2 guides – Nilay and Ugur plus Ertunga himself) went out of their way to make sure we had a stress-free and blissful vacation. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and eager to share the history of the amazing places we were seeing. The drivers were on-time, every time. The transportation was very comfortable, was stocked with water and soft drinks and even had Wi-Fi! Thank you Ertunga and team for making our short trip to Turkey so memorable! I would recommend Felicity Travel & Ertunga, unhesitatingly, to any of my family or friends.

  • 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.

  • Unforgettable custom, private tour experience to enjoy Turkey traveling

    C17MTdennisw,,Sep 19, 2023

    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.
