Turkey Private Tours by Ertunga Ecir

About operator:

Our agency is a family business run by Ertunga and Maria Ecir, both professional, licensed travel guides. We are based in the Aegean part of Turkey, in the port town of Kusadasi, the gateway to the ancient Ephesus, but we organise and perform tours in all parts of Turkey. Most of our guests come to Turkey for multi day trips, to visit the highlight sights in our country. We enjoy our boutique style job, as organising tailor made Turkey travels has been our specialty for years. As we have experience as private guides, we do know what and how much is doable during your trip! Hidden gems, tourist traps, places off the beaten path, must-dos and places to avoid... Maria is usually the one in charge of correspondence by mails and mostly guides in the Aegean. Ertunga generally does multi day Turkey travels and replies your mails when he is free. We also have a team of travel guides that work with us, all very experienced, reliable and knowledgeable.
