Highlights

Let's experience the unique historical and touristic texture of Istanbul, which was occupied by the Greeks,the Romans and the Ottoman Turks.
Flexibility in the tour is a very important concept for the guests who are on holiday The schedule should be programmed based on the interests of the travelers.Therefore we shape our itinerary conferring with our guests and presenting them with various options in which we can visit main highlights as well as other less known sites either in the center or off the beaten tracks.
The main goal is to provide our guests with wide range of options in order to find the right thing evaluating their limited time in our beautiful country.
With the private guide you will not have to wait for the very long ticket office queues which is very important as you do not waste any time and energy at the entrances of the museums. At the end of the day, guest satisfaction means a lot to us and we are definitely to ensure this.
