Highlights
Istanbul is one of the most fascinating metropolises in the world and the largest metropolis in Europe. Since the city is filled with around 30 million people (holiday season), you can sometimes lose your bearings. Our philosophy at German Trips is to offer our customers the best possible travel experience. For us, this includes above all high quality and excellent service. Unlike almost every travel guide, we will not take you on the European side, but we will show you the Asian side. We want our customers to feel completely comfortable and in good hands, regardless of whether they book a city trip, an active holiday or a round trip. That is why we attach great importance to personal advice and support for our customers. We listen carefully to understand your individual wishes and needs and can thus put together tailor-made trips. We are a team that speak perfect German because we were born and grew up in Germany.
