We went to Turkey starting in Istanbul, then Gallipoli, Izmir, Ephesus, Pergammon, Troy, Aphrodisias, Pammukale and Cappadocia. We arranged the whole trip with Ertunga. He made suggestions and we together adjusted the itinerary. We were collected at the airport and taken to our hotel. At all times Ertunga was extremely punctual, very knowledgeable and flexible. In a country like Turkey where the language is “impossible” it is invaluable to have a local guide you. He got us great guides in Istanbul and Cappadocia who took us to local restaurants to eat the Turkish food, they invariably knew where to take “that photo”. His drivers were lovely fellows, very grateful for google translate! We took hundreds of photos saw amazing mosques, Roman and Greek ruins, bazaars and learned much history first hand about this fascinating part of the world. We would strongly recommend Ertunga and his team to independent travellers who want the personal tour experience.
