I went on vacation this past September to Turkey with two other guys (all in our late 20’s and early 30s). We decided to make Istanbul the hub of our limited time in Turkey but we also wanted to see the ancient sites of Ephesus and Cappadocia as well. We decided it would be inefficient to try to see these sites on our own so we elected to go with a guided tour and found Tour of Istanbul Company. At first we were hesitant to use the online form on their website but quickly realized it was just a means to start email coordination with Ms. Banu Kurban. We basically laid out what we wanted: 1 day in Ephesus and 2 days in Cappadocia. Banu quickly replied, was very accommodating, and with a few email exchanges over a couple of days we had a full itinerary including hotel-airport transfer, plane tickets, meals, and sites to be visited. Highlight: the tour guides are phenomenal! If you’re going to Ephesus request Gül Demir as your guide. She is a lovely local girl, with a warm heart, and her love of Turkey shows when she describes the geography and history of Ephesus. She also taught us some Turkish phrases; it was a lot of fun. If you’re going to Cappadocia request Aykut Babadogan. He is very knowledgeable of the region and was funny; it was like hanging out with one of the guys. He was also attentive when one of the members of our group got sick. Overall, they are both wonderful human beings and when people in my country ask what Turkish people are like I will speak of them. Critique: The driver had trouble rounding up all the people that required shuttle service at the airport upon our return to Istanbul. So getting back to the hotel took longer than expected, but that sort of thing should be expected being in a busy airport with no cellphone service in a foreign country. However, the awesomeness of the trip overshadowed this issue. Tour of Istanbul is legit and reasonable priced. I highly recommend them! — Roxanne C., USA
During our trip to Turkey, we had planned to visit Cappadocia region, Ephesus, and Pamukkale. A friend in Istanbul had suggested to go through a travel company and recommend Tour of Istanbul. As time was short, I wrote to Chuck Militello with a brief plan of our proposed visit, and in 2 days we had agreed on a detailed plan which included air-transfers, airport pick-up & drop, hotel bookings, and daily sight-seeing tours. The entire program went smoothly. The airport pick-up guys waited patiently & politely despite two cases of late-night flight delays. The hotels suggested by Chuck were commendable, and the daily sight-seeing tours were planned & conducted very professionally. — L. Hemantn, Australia
With limited days outside of Istanbul, I randomly selected a tour company from "google". Mrs Banu from Tour of Istanbul responded almost immediately. I outlined what I was looking for and he gave me various options. I detailed our specific requirements and Mrs Banu immediately responded with the perfect package to offer us the best of Turkey in a limited time frame at an exceptionally good price. Their service was absolutely faultless, with drivers arriving promptly to collect us, and deliver us back to our hotel, even for very early pick up times for flights. The tours themselves were well organised, informative and well thought out. The meals that were included each day were typical Turkish fare and very enjoyable. We had four different guides on each of the four days of our tour but the two guides that really stood out for us as being extremely warm, friendly and very informative about were Nafia for our Ephesus tour day and Mostapha for our final day in Cappadochia including the underground city etc. We would love to return to Turkey one day and I would have absolutely no hesitation in contacting Tour of Istanbul team for all of our travel/tour requirements. Their all round service was absolutely outstanding. Exceptional Service! Highly recommended. —Lynne V. South Africa
We arranged a 5 day side trip for us from Istanbul and back. Everything went perfectly: the hotels were fantastic, guides and drivers were knowledgeable and professional and caring (special shout out to guide Nafia and driver Moustafa). I especially enjoyed woking with Volkan who co ordinated our trip and was always available to answer our questions, both from the US by emil and when we were actually in Turkey! We recommend this organization highly! — Claire W. USA
What to know
Here are some things to know before traveling for 10 days to Turkey:
1. Visa: Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa to enter Turkey. You can check the requirements and apply for a visa online or at the Turkish embassy or consulate in your country.
2. Currency: The local currency is the Turkish lira (TRY). You can exchange your currency at banks or exchange offices, or withdraw money from ATMs using your debit or credit card. It's a good idea to inform your bank before traveling to Turkey to avoid any issues with your card.
3. Weather: Turkey has a varied climate, so it's important to check the weather forecast before you travel. In general, the summer months (June to September) are hot and dry, while the winter months (December to February) are cold and wet.
4. Language: The official language of Turkey is Turkish, but many people speak English, especially in tourist areas.
5. Culture: Turkey is a Muslim country, so it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Dress modestly, especially when visiting mosques or religious sites, and remove your shoes before entering. It's also polite to greet people with "Merhaba" (hello) and "Tesekkür ederim" (thank you).
6. Safety: Turkey is generally a safe country for travelers, but it's important to take the usual precautions. Keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas, and be wary of scams and pickpockets. It's also a good idea to avoid demonstrations and political gatherings.
As a Turkish local tour operator, we provide you with unbeatable prices and personalized service, ensuring exceptional value for your booking and a seamless travel experience.
: We were more than satisfied with the care and time our tour guides provided in both Istanbul and Ephesus. They took us to all of the places we requested prior to our trip, even though our tour in Istanbul was longer than scheduled, our guide, Neri wanted to make sure we saw everything we had asked for. Neri (Istanbul) and Bartuk (Ephesus) were exceptional. Not only were they knowledgeable, but so friendly and accommodating. They took care in making sure we were comfortable and made sure we spent the time desired in each place we visited. -Overall, I would recommend TourofIstanbul to anyone who wants to truly spend time in each of these amazing places. Thank you for making our trip one of the most enjoyable of a lifetime. — Clarkieo T, USA
