Outstanding, Reliable and Professional Guide - True Blue Tours should be renamed Truly Brilliant Tours. It was our 1st time to Turkey and we had little time to plan as it was a last minute trip. Even though it was on short notice, True Blue had made everything seamless and worry free. From the pick up at the airport upon arrival to city tour in Istanbul, to Ephesus and Pamukkale and back to Istanbul, we were so well taken care of. The guides were always on time, knowledgeable and very friendly. Special mention to Nizam, our guide in Ephesus, whose knowledge was excellent and whose humor had made otherwise-boring history so fun and enjoyable. Thank you to Eyup and Yorkie, our contact points in Istanbul and Manila respectively, for being so accommodating and taking care of us so well. When your trip depends solely on tour guides, make sure you get one like True Blue Tours.

So glad we arranged for a private tour of Istanbul! - We had a great few days in Istanbul - Serkan was great company and an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, fun to spend the day with and was very flexible with plans. My husband needed medical help and he was able to make arrangements for us to get to a hospital and get treated in no time. He definitely made sure that we had what we needed in order to enjoy our stay. From when we arrived until we left Istanbul, Serkan ( also Dodo and the rest of the True Blue Tour Team) was available for anything every step of the way. Thank you so much guys!

Highly Recommended! - Turkey is a beautiful country and our trip was further complemented by the excellent and personalized service of True Blue. They took care of my family to the detail - from prompt pick up time, arrange our domestic boarding passes, selection of hotels and even giving my wife a surprise birthday gift!

Awesome experience. Well done. - It was our first time to meet Yilmaz Ozluk, owner of True Blue Travel Agency and from the get go it was wonderful. Great guide, certainly knowledgable, great sense of humor and he brought us to places which were not tourist traps. We asked for great local food and he gladly delivered. It was our first time in Istanbul and it will not be the last, all because of our experience with Yilmaz and his lady colleague (sorry i forgot her name).

Best Tour Ever - Turkey has easily become one of my most favorite places because of Eyup and everyone at True Blue. They planned the best tour anyone can ever put together. The trip was perfect. We loved all the locations we were taken and all the restaurants we ate in. They took care of us like we were their family. So far the best tour I've had in my life. Rating: 5 out of 5 baklava Shout-out to the best tour guide over, Serkan! He did an amazing job as our tour guide. I was surprised with all the information he had in his head about all the places we visited! He was very friendly, warm and most of all patient. It felt like he was a friend I haven't seen in a while than a guy doing his job. Rating: 5 out of 5 baklava

Best Tour Company - Our visit to Turkey September 2019 was an excellent trip. Our tour company True Blue stayed true to their promises of a good holiday. Our tour guide was very informative and went that extra mile to make sure my friends and i were comfortable and having a good time. The driver was always careful on the road. The hotel selection were great. This is the best organised tour i have been to. Well done to Mr Yilmaz and staff of True Blue.
