My name is Ertunga and I was born in 1977 in Kusadası, where I still live. I graduated from the University of Philology, Department of English Language and Literature. I worked as an English Teacher for few years but I understood that it is not really what I wanted so I finished my short teaching career. Then I decided to study History and Archaeology and use my knowledge on this field. In 2001 I became professional tour guide, with the license issued by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Since then I have worked for many agencies as an independent guide and I have been meeting tourists from all over the world. During this fourteen years, I have also been organizing private tours, and working with ToursByLocals is perfect option for me. 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, archaeology, traveling and meeting different people and cultures, and the most important of everything, I love my country and want to help people see it's beauty and understand it's history and culture and at the same time, earning money from what I really enjoy doing; is a great feeling. I have guiding experience in all areas in Turkey, but my favorite tours are definitely those in the Aegean and Istanbul. If you woukd like to have a multy day tour in Turkey, you are allways wellcome to contact me to discuss your program. I am looking forward to meeting you in my country and showing you all its beauties! Tour Guiding License issued by The Ministry Of Culture & Tourism Of Turkey, license number: 09-005832. I am an owner of Felicity Travel (TÜRSAB licence no. 11471).

Overview of your Izmir tour

Every year we get more inquiries for Biblical Tours in Turkey as a lot of people have recently discovered the important role these lands played in the history of Christianity. Turkey is a great place for people interested in Biblical archaeology, and this particular tour is perfect for our Christian guests who want to visit the Seven Churches mentioned in Revelation and walk in the footsteps of John and Paul. I have been guiding in Biblical sites very often and I can say that my Christian guests are quite impressed when they have the chance to visit these places. They always say that this tour makes them understand the Revelation better. The best part of the tour is probably the feeling guests have when they imagine John and Paul walking in the same streets so many centuries ago - they always mention it as their main impression! I am specialized in Christian tours and enjoy returning to Biblical sites - every visit makes both guide and visitors understand the Bible better and exchange their views. . .

Your Izmir tour itinerary

-D1: After we meet in Izmir, we visit Smyrna, "the suffering church" home of the 2nd century Bishop Policarp (1 hours). 1. 5 hour driving to Pergamon, "the compromising church" where we spend 2 hours; Revelation describes the city as "where Satan's seat is", a reference to the altar of Zeus. After the tour return to Izmir, overnight stay. -D2: 1. 5 hour driving from Izmir to Thyatira where we spend 1 hour - "the adulterous church" that, as mentioned in the Revelation, tolerated the false prophets. Drive another 1 and half hour to Sardes, "the dead church" where we spend 1 and half hour. After 30 min driving we visit "the faithful church" of Philadelphia where we spend 30 minutes, then drive 2 hours to Laodicea, "the lukewarm church"; after the tour 3 hour transfer to Kusadasi, overnight stay. -D3: We will visit Ephesus ("the loveless church'') House of Virgin Mary and Basilica of John (about 6 hours); 1 hour transfer to Izmir airport.
