Enriching, enjoyable and a real Turkish Delight! - Our visit to Istanbul was our first, a brief dip so to speak, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. From early planning of an itinerary and all logistics, right through to the end of our trip we are very well looked after by Ibrahim and his team of experienced team of professionals. The communications prior to arrival about where to meet at the airport to the end of the trip were terrific. Ibrahim was always in touch and very clear with his information, pick up and drops offs all perfectly executed and timely. The hotels well located and comfortable. Lots of charm and character, breakfasts delicious. Our guides were so knowledgable on history, culture, and the local how to’s and where to’s, we were able to make the most of our time on the ground. No question remained unanswered! Thank you so much Onur and Apo, we so enjoyed your company and your stories. We’ve learned and seen so much thanks to you both. We will certainly be back to Instanbul and will use Turkland services again. Highly recommend their services to anyone who would like to get the most of their visit to this wonderful part of the world, there is so much to see and enjoy here. Let them help you to make the most of your trip, they sure did for ours.

Dream tour of Istanbul - We have just had the most amazing 3 days in Istanbul. Thank you so much. Our guide Onur was the best. He quickly worked out what suited our tastes and adjusted the tour to fit. He took us to all the little out of the way places of interest that only a true local would know of. From the very outset this company conducted themselves very professionally. Communications were great, thank you Ibrahim and Onur, and the tours were of a standard that others struggle to attain. Thank you again everyone for an incredible holiday experience

Hire this man! - Ibrahim and Turkland Travel gave us a super trip. Everything was planned to a 'T'. He and his ground crew were always on time, provided great commentary, and were knowledgeable and accommodating. Our hotels, drivers, guides, and side trips made our trip one to remember. I've traveled through many countries and always without a guide. Turkey is a challenge, but Ibrahim paved the way and we never had the least bit of trouble. I can't recommend Ibrahim more. Hire him! You won't regret it.

A Day to Remember - This was our second trip to Istanbul. We wanted to explore beyond the main attractions. Onur (our marvellous guide) listened to what we wanted and delivered a wonderful walking / culinary tour of both the Asia and Europe sides. In one day we used the ferry, funicular rail and metro to enhance our exploring experience. I day locked into our memories.

EXCELLENT TRAVEL EXPERIENCE, PROFESSIONAL KNOOWLEDGEABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY - My husband and I planned to spend our vacations in Istambul. It was our first time in Turkey, and we were very excited to explore the city. We contacted Ibrahim and asked him to organize a three-day plan for us with a private guide in Spanish/Italian. From the beginning Ibrahim was very helpful and we received his proposal which included the most important locations to be visited: the Beylerbeyi and Topkapi Palaces; Hippodrome Square, German Fountain; the most famous mosques - Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophie Mosque, Suleymanye Mosque. We also visited the amazing Basilica Cistern; the Spice Market and the Grand Bazaar; we walked around the historic areas of Istambul, Fener and Balat Districts, St. Stephen Church (Iron Church). Our guide, Tuna, was excellent!! He was very professional and explained every detail of each of the locations we visited. He made as avoid very long lines because he knew when and at what timer to visit each place. We also visited the Asian side of Istambul which offers a unique perspective on the city and its history. We also booked a night yacht cruise at the Bosphorus which included a delicious dinner and a great show! I highly recommend Ibrahim and Tuna for your trip to Istambul. They both did their best to make this trip memorable! Thank you. Patricia
