A private tour is defined as your family, friends, or other group of people you’ve assembled. We offer private tours only and don’t combine individuals or smaller parties into groups.
Please take the time to read and understand the conditions of private tour booking set out below prior to booking a trip with us. We strongly recommend that you also read the “Booking and cancelling” information relating to your tour prior to booking to ensure that you understand all the details about it. Thank you !
We are a boutique tour company that offers guests an unmatched level of personal attention. Our personalized service guarantees your private tour will be unique, enjoyable and trouble-free. Whether you are seeking “The Best of Istanbul” or off the beaten path, we will provide exactly what you’re looking for at your own pace !
The price is per your group or family for 1 to 4 people, not per person. There will be $20 additional charge per additional tour participant after 4 (excluding the museum tickets).
Our Private Tours are perfect for Families & Friends, Solo travellers, Group travellers, Discreet travelers, Executives, and Airport & cruise ship layovers.
We work around your schedule. Contact us to build a customized tour that focuses on your interests, preferences and whims or choose a suggested existing tour from our website.
Our full day tours have 6 hours maximum in Istanbul and 8 hours in Cappadocia and Ephesus.
We use express museum tickets during the tours. Fast Track Entry to the popular sights is a priceless benefit, particularly in the peak summer months.
We’re firm believers in the power of good, local food to connect you to the local culture. We will take you to typical restaurants that serve authentic food. Please remember kindly that the guide will be your guest at the lunch; as a company policy.
