Ozgur, our tour guide for the 4 days, was so knowledgeable and able to explain the historical, archaeological, cultural and biblical aspects of all we visited.

5.00We visited 7 churches/ruins, lots of histories, religions, wars, earthquakes all blended in this tour. Lots of information, the remains and the renovations are amazing. We also had a chance to experience hot air balloon, over the Pamukkale hot springs. 3 of the hotels had hot/thermal springs and Turkish bath, what a treat. Our tour guide Ozgur is a historian and a Christian, explained all the details and refers to the biblical verses.

5.00We were coming to Istanbul for a destination wedding and decided to extend our trip and visit the 7 churches. We have really enjoyed our trip. Both Volkan our guide and the driver were extremely kind and helpful. The drive was very scenic. The hotels were very comfortable, the food delicious and the whole trip has been an enjoyable experience. I would certainly recommend Felicity travels to my friends and anyone else who is interested in visiting this area. It is worth every penny! 👍
7 churches Journey - Endless Memories !

5.00Our private 7 Churches Tour from Felicity Travel was unforgettable and a deeply meaningful experience. Special thanks to our tour guide Oscar, who shared his deep knowledge of church history with passion and clarity. I was also blessed by his personal testimony and the genuine warmth, humour, and care he showed to everyone in the group, from taking our pictures, reminding us of toilet breaks, and recommending the best local food. He was even kind enough to adjust the schedule when my friends wanted to go paragliding, and he used his local contacts to help arrange it, making the trip even more memorable. Huge thanks to our driver Tylan for keeping us safe and comfortable throughout. I’m also looking forward to the delicious figs he shared with us during the trip— such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommended Felicity Travels to anyone seeking a meaningful and inspiring journey.

Great 7 church tour

5.00We are a group of 6, and we truly enjoyed this private tour with our guide, Özgür (Oscar as what we call him) and Taylan as our driver. Thank you Felicity Travel for customising this 7 Churches tour for us to maximise our time here in Turkey. The transportation is clean, and comfortable, and we felt safe in the drive from one place to another. We appreciate the figs prepared by Mr. Taylan - he has this gentleness, calming and welcoming smile always. The hotels we stayed are strategic for our next day tour; the rooms are big; the food is abundant and all good. Our guide, Özgür is knowledgeable about the 7 churches in the bible; and shares his honest thoughts, his testimonies. He’s very patient with us in answering questions. He tells the history in a very interesting way (visual and verbal) that is not boring. Thanks Özgür for keeping up with 6 angels who takes long in taking photos (and thanks for taking good photos of us); and thanks for bringing us to local turkish food (which we love); and for reminding us to go to WC always before the long drive. We truly appreciate these simple thoughts/ and care for us. We will surely recommend this tour with Felicity Travel to our friends.
