Private tour of Turkey - We visited Ephesus as part of a private 8-day Bible Lands tour organised by Ertunga Ecir. What a fabulous tour! It ran seamlessly, it was so comprehensive, our guide, Umut, was knowledgeable and personable and so attentive to us. The accommodation and meals were first rate and the value incredible. I could not fault this tour and would highly recommend this company for travel in Turkey. Ertunga was always available and quickly responded to any questions we had, both in the preparation of the tour and throughout it. We had the best time! It was stress-free and we learned so much.

Be prepared to be wowed. - My husband and I just returned from an 18 day private car tour along the western and southern coast, central regions and Istanbul. We are still in awe trying to process all that we've seen. It was a phenomenal trip from start to finish. Ertunga and Maria were helpful in setting up an itinerary which took into consideration a hiking request, as well as a visit to a small village that my daughter had recommended. They were very patient with us as we had to sort out potential flight issues before our arrival. We were fortunate to have Volkan as our guide. We truly believe that he is the gold standard guide: warm, respectful, attentive, intelligent, and knowledgeable, especially in the historical department! And it was an added bonus to have him, a musician, select music for us during the ride, and to have his artistic input in taking photos and videos of us during the trip. Sebo, our driver, was careful and skillful and we appreciated the extra side trip to the shopping mall so that I could purchase hiking shoes which I forgot to pack. The itinerary was perfect with the right mix of rural and urban, sea and mountains, history and culture. All of the hotels were carefully chosen and we loved the variety in each place. We were not expecting to have such a newfound love for Turkey and its people, and it is through our experiences with this wonderful travel company that has allowed this to occur. Thank you so much for giving us this beautiful experience.
