10 Days Private Tour of Turkey

This private tour was outstanding, I can't recommend it enough! We generally plan our own trips but felt that we would prefer to be guided for this trip to Turkey. We originally were looking at a group tour with another company and then decided to find a private tour. It was obviously more than we would usually spend on a trip, but was absolutely worth the price! They suggested a fantastic itinerary and were extremely flexible. There were a couple of stops I had read about that weren’t included and they easily incorporated them. Our guides were fantastic! They all had great local knowledge and were enjoyable to spend time with. Our sites and accommodations were well-planned and outstanding! The trip was managed practically flawlessly. I only mention the 1 flaw, ridiculously minor as it was, to point out the excellence of their service and care. We were staying in a hotel in Istanbul that was unbelievably difficult to reach by car. The morning we were being picked up, the driver was going to be 5 minutes late and they called to make sure we were aware of the delay!

Felicity Travels was absolutely wonderful to work with and made our family trip to Turkey truly memorable. Ertunga and his wife, Maria, were extremely responsive, professional, and attentive throughout the entire planning process. They understood our family’s needs and ensured that every detail, from transportation between cities to sightseeing arrangements was handled seamlessly. Every guide who worked with us was knowledgeable, personable, resourceful, and deeply familiar with the history, language, and culture of their region. In Istanbul, our guide, Ege, was exceptional. He thoroughly covered all the key sights, explaining their history and cultural significance in an engaging and humorous way. My 16-year-old son quickly found a friend in him, which made the experience even more enjoyable. When I became sick one day, Ege went out of his way to purchase medicine for me at his own expense. His kindness and thoughtfulness went far beyond what we expected, and we were incredibly grateful. In Cappadocia, our guide, Nihat, was equally knowledgeable and thorough. He recommended local activities that we thoroughly enjoyed and helped us experience the region in a meaningful and authentic way. Finally, Ertunga personally guided us through İzmir and Ephesus, bringing the area’s rich ancient history to life. His deep knowledge made the complex history easy to understand and appreciate. Maria expertly managed all of our logistics. Whenever I had a question or needed assistance, she responded quickly and was always helpful. Toward the end of our trip, I decided to add more activities in Ephesus, and she adjusted the arrangements immediately and without difficulty. All of our transportation and airport or hotel transfers were provided in comfortable luxury vehicles stocked with water and beverages. Every pickup and drop-off was smooth, punctual, and thoughtfully organized. Our entire Turkey trip was made more special because of Felicity Travels. Their professionalism, knowledge, warmth, flexibility, and genuine care allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every destination. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Turkey and would gladly work with them again.

Ertunga and Maria from Felicity Travel arranged for a private tour for my family of 4. As it was our first trip to Turkey I wanted a combination of both the biblical historical sites as well as typical highlights. Ertunga’s team was fantastic from beginning to end . All communication was extremely prompt and clear. Transfers were seamless in Mercedes vans. The itinerary was well paced and not exhausting. Lunch was even included every day . Ertunga took us through the 7 churches mentioned in the book of Revelations with great biblical knowledge . It really gave us a fresh perspective of the 7 churches . Cappadocia was spectacular and my kids especially enjoyed the hot air balloon experience which was magical . Our guides Nilay in Cappadocia and Mert in Istanbul were also excellent , extremely knowledgeable, friendly and personable . I’m really glad we chose this travel agency and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a personalised , high quality tour in Turkey .
