My name is Ertunga and I was born in 1977 in Kusadasi, where I still live. I graduated from the University of Philology, Department of English Language and Litarature. Since I grew up and have lived all my life in a touristic town, guiding has always been my dream. Very early I understood that it would be the most convenient job for my lifestyle, because I like history, archeology, traveling and meeting different people and cultures, but beyond everything I love my country and would like people to see it’s beauty and understand it’s history and culture. In 2001 I became a professional tourist guide, with the license issued by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Since then I have been guiding in all areas in Turkey and meeting tourists from all over the world.

Very professional and boutique service

We took a two-week tour of Anatolia (Asian part of Turkey) with Felicity Travel. Ertunga and Maria organized a wonderful trip; they took care of every detail, carefully choosing interesting sites to visit, selecting very nice hotels to stay at and booking lunch at fabulous local restaurants. Our driver, Vicdi, was very warm and caring,

EXCELLENT experience!

This tour was everything we hoped it would be and more. After visiting Israel in 2018 we were craving more Biblical history, and chose Turkey as our next destination. We found Ertunga online, and after much research we were convinced that his company would offer the best tour. We were right- he and his team

Fantastic tour that can be packed into just a few short days

I had a fantastic tour of the 7 Churches area with my guide Ozgur! The old cultures that are the setting of the Christian scriptures were very different from my modern western world, and it is hard to explain the volumes of information I learned from this tour. There are castles shaped like crowns, tepidariums

Excellent trip and excellent trip planner

We had a small group tour (3 couples from Atlanta, GA between 4/7 and 4/17). It was such a fantastic trip that I felt compelled to write this review. First we needed to find a good private tour operator. In October of 2022, I reviewed three different private tour operators and decided that Ertunga was
