Private 4 Days Turkey Tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia, Ephesus, Pamukkale - I worked in the tourism industry for many years and have always planned our trips so I was a little nervous to hand over the details to someone else. I couldn't have been more wrong. Guided Istanbul Tours was on top of everything! With our input they planned our itinerary, scheduled pick ups and drop offs, purchased fast track tickets to attractions and intercountry flights. Our tour guides Kemal, Unluer and Emre were incredibly knowledgeable, well educated in Turkish history, had great recommendations for restaurants and they were just fun to be with. Kemal was a star in Istanbul! The drivers made us feel safe, especially on the crazy roads of Istanbul. I say this as a New Yorker. Guided Istanbul Tours handled everything and allowed us to just relax and be on vacation. We loved Turkey and couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the diversity and beauty of the country

One of the best family vacation we’ve ever had organized by the best travel company we’ve worked with! - The tour arranged for us by Guided Istanbul Tours was top-notch. The itinerary maximized our time in Turkey which included stops in Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale. Our guides Merve, Hatice and Ceyla were very knowledgeable about the history and culture of each place that we visited. Every logistical detail was taken care of including airport transfers, private transport, venue tickets and domestic flights. All in all, a highly stress-free and relaxing family vacation for me and my family. I highly recommend Guided Istanbul Tours for anyone looking to travel to Turkey!

Book this company if in Istanbul or Ephesus!!!! - We did a 2 day private tour in Istanbul with this company and had a wonderful experience!!!
Our cruise ship cancelled the shore excursion we signed up for in Ephesus on short notice so we spoke to our guide in Istanbul (Ulke) to ask her what we should do there. She called her company and helped us arrange a private guide with a van & driver for the whole day! (And it cost less than 4 excursions by our cruise line!)
Our guide’s name in Ephesus wasTigen Oral. can I please give her 10 STARS?!?!? She was so helpful, smart and full of energy!
The 4 of us all agreed that this tour surpassed our expectations! So fun!
So all I can say is don’t hesitate to book with this company! They are honest, reliable and have great guides and drivers.
Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Excellent experience in this facinating country. - Well worth it to book a private tour. Makes the trip so much more informative an enjoyable in this country steeped in history.
Our guide Enver was very smart and friendly and it was nice to spend time with him touring the country. He is also a connoisseur of Turkish food and we ate at some great restaurants.

Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale - Great company to work with. Itinerary was well done, everything went well without any glitches. Transportation, airport pick up and guides were well spoken and knowledgeable. Yagmure, Alican and Ceyla were our guides and they were wonderful. Vans were clean and drivers are good with their driving. Great experience and highly recommended.

14 day trip to Turkey - Guided Istanbul tours did an amazing job with creating our iterinery and executing it. They accommodated all our input. The transfers from airport to hotel at all locations were seamless and prompt. The guides - Fatma in Istanbul and Efe in Capadoccia were outstanding. We spent 3 days with each of them - it is very obvious that they want you to learn about and experience the history, culture and cuisine of their country. All in all , a very memorable vacation . We would strongly recommend them.

Excellent Private Tour - Fantastic arrangement with perfect coordination across two cities, we enjoyed the private tour and very knowledgeable guides (Fatma and Efe). Very flexible and patient with kids, the driver and tour guides were always punctual. We would rehire them without doubt again when we visit Turkey.

Perfect guided tour through Turkey! - We had the best five day tour of Istanbul, Gallipoli, Troy, Pergamon and Ephesus. Our guide Volkan ensured that we saw everything on the itinerary and much more. He was a wizard of avoiding lines which is difficult at the main sights in Istanbul. His restaurant recommendation was our favorite of the entire trip and the wine tasting he suggested was fantastic. He arrived early each morning and was the most professional guide we’ve ever had. Highly knowledgeable and fun.

Two tours with two excellent guides. - We took two tours over two days with this company. Both tours were well planned and hassle free. We were picked up at our hotel and transported to the airport or tour site by professional drivers in clean vans.
Our first tour in Ephesus was amazing. Our tour guide (Cayla) was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The trip was well planned. My only complaint is it ended 3 hours before our flight home, which left idle time, but that is due more to flight schedules. The tour of the city of Ephesus was terrific.
The second tour in Istanbul was also very well done. Our guide (Pelin) was extremely nice and knowledgeable. She helped us to avoid the lines and answered all of our questions.
Both guides, both days, took us to great restaurants for lunch. They both ate with us we had great conversations.
I’d highly recommend tours from this company. We even had a person in our group cancel and they were able to refund part of the fees timely.
If you’re looking for a private tour in turkey, I’d recommend both of these guides. 5 stars.
