5 days Private Tour of Western Turkey (Troy-Pergamon-Ephesus-Didyma-Pamukkale)

We had a 5 day private tour of the Aegean coast with Mesut as our guide and Savas as our driver. It was a wonderful time, far beyond our expectations. We have visited Troy, Assos, Pergamon, Ephesus, Priene, Miletos, Didym, Aphrodisias, Hierapolis. Mesut had our trip planned efficiently and with good balance, so we had plenty of time to relax in Kusadasi between the ruin visits. Also his knowledge and storytelling skill was amazing so that both history enthusiast like my self and my wife, who is not a history lover enjoyed and learned much about the region and every site. The food choices were perfect, every tea time after meal was lovely. We also had chance to familiarize ourselves with backgammon. Thanks to Savas we felt very safe on the road, also very efficient. So, this was by far the best private tour experience we had. Thank you Mesut and Savas, hope we will meet again soon.

Ertunga was amazing tour guide from day one to our drop off. He was quick to respond to pretravel questions. It was a delight and the parting of good friends. A few bonus details we appreciated were excellent lunch stops along the way, in which he spared no expense. When it came to afternoon coffee stops he happily abliged to finding us the perfect stop, most obviously and important was his acute understanding of the seven churches in Revelations from Revelation 1-3. Ertunga's intersting story telling as we strolled though the historical sites was excellent. Lastly both his perfect english and handling of the New Testament scriptures definitely made this historical tour come alive.

From London, we booked this private tour with Ertunga who was also our tour guide through out the 7 days we spent in different parts of Turkey. From Istanbul to Cappadocia to Kusadasi. We stayed in Istanbul for 2 nights & Kusadasi for 4 nights from where we visited the 7 Biblical churches. All the way through this trip Ertunga has been very very helpful & accommodative. His local & history knowledge to explain the sites is very good. Especially during the CV-19 situation , Ertunga took care of hand sanitizers, masks & other health & safety aspects very professionally. Food - we went to many different restaurants with amazing variety of food. Hotels & Transport was very very comfortable. Anyone visiting Turkey , I highly recommend Ertunga to get the feel of traditional & historical side of Turkey.
