We organise private tours and individual excursions around Istanbul for English-speaking guests in comfortable cars with a driver. Instead of a ready-made template route, you choose what you want to see: the main sights of the Old City, filming locations of your favourite Turkish TV series, photogenic Instagram spots or modern shopping malls and outlets. The car — a Mercedes-Benz Vito, Sprinter or Vito Maybach — adapts to your pace and wishes. The price starts from $160 per car, not per person. Online WhatsApp support is always available during your tour, and a licensed guide can be added on request.
What you can include in your route: a sightseeing tour of Istanbul and the main sights of the Old City — Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Basilica Cistern, the Grand Bazaar; the Bosphorus and the Asian side — Maiden’s Tower, Çamlıca Mosque, Beylerbeyi, Kuzguncuk; a tour of Turkish TV series filming locations (“Yalı Çapkını” (Golden Boy), “Çukur” (The Pit), “Sen Çal Kapımı” and others); Instagram spots and the best viewpoints for beautiful photos — Balat, Fener, the Camondo Stairs, Pierre Loti Hill; a shopping tour of malls and outlets — İstinyePark, Zorlu Center, Istanbul Cevahir, Venezia Mega Outlet. A one-day or multi-day tour of Istanbul — you plan the route.
