More than a service - An Experience - The vacation to Turkey was unforgettable thanks to Guided Istanbul Tours, led by our guides: Unluer in Cappadocia, Pinar in Ephesus and Izmir, and Burak in Istanbul.
Unluer shared his passion for the region's unique landscapes, while Pinar took us through the ancient ruins of Ephesus and Izmir, bringing history to life and providing recommendations for local restaurants. Burak seamlessly blended the city's rich history with its modern culture, recommending local cafes and restaurants and providing insights into Istanbul's cultural evolution.
Guided Istanbul Tours stands out for their personalized attention and passion for Turkey, making it a must-visit for anyone visiting Turkey. The diverse range of unforgettable experiences, from Cappadocia's surreal landscapes to Ephesus' ancient ruins and Istanbul's vibrant streets, left us with beautiful memories and a deeper understanding of Turkey's rich culture and history.

Visiting history in paradise - We had an amazing time, and all our concerns were addressed thoughtfully, ensuring we visited all the historic and fun sites within our schedule.
Many thanks to Sumer for making our trip to Cappadocia truly unforgettable. His knowledge and ability to explain things clearly are truly commendable. Goreme open air museum, valley of monks and Devrent valley is must see along with Underground city of Ozkonak.
We’re also very grateful to Melahat for guiding us and making our time in Kusadasi so special. Her deep knowledge of Turkey—not just the places we visited—was impressive. She has a graceful and warm personality. Travertines are magical. Ephesus and Hierapolis reminds us how powerful were ancient civilizations. Overall, Turkey is a beautiful country and I will visit again.

Amazing guides in Istanbul and Ephesus - Wonderful knowledgeable guides that made our 2 days in Istanbul and single day in Ephesus AMAZING!
Ceren (Pronounced Jeren), was amazing during our 2 days in Istanbul. She contacted us before hand on WhatsApp so we knew exactly where to meet her after exiting the cruise ship at GalataPort. We then spent the next 6-7 hours visiting amazing sites and also taking a great cruise on the Bosphorus. At the end of the day she recommended we get an earlier than scheduled start to avoid the lines at the Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. Her plan worked brilliantly! As we exited the Hagia Sofia we saw how massive the line had already become. Great work! At the half way point on day 2 she took the girls to the Grand Bazaar shopping as the guys wanted to head back to the ship. Perfect flexibility and guardianship.
Thanks Ceren!
Tijen killed it for us at Ephesus! She also was amazingly flexible in our itinerary. She took us to Mary’s House first because the lines got biggest there early. We missed the lines and then headed over to Ephesus and the great ruins. She was so knowledgeable that other people were craning necks to hear her explain certain temples, columns, etc.! Awesome! We then went for lunch in Seljuk and it was phenomenal. Several members of our group have Ciliac disease and we were able to get GF foods. The quality, service, and price were wonderful! After lunch we went to a huge leather factory where the kids partook in a fashion show and had a blast doing so. We bought some beautiful jackets and purses. After this the group was tired and we headed back to the ship, skipping a carpet demo.
Thanks Tijen!

4 day tour of Cappadocia plus a half day add on in Istanbul. - We were worried about this company as their tour quote was somewhat lower than some others. However, we have to say that this was one of the best organised tours we have done - and we travel a lot! The arrangements to meet us at the airport late at night and subsequent tours of Cappadocia went like clockwork. The guide was superb and extremely knowledgeable. This is a magnificent part of the world and if you visit Turkey do not miss it. We'll done Guided Istanbul Tours !

Great experience! - Our three Gami guides, Sumer Efe and Yilmaz, were wonderful. They made the whole viqje easier and taught us a lot with all the information and knowledge they have. The agency gave us a great service. Everything was perfectly organized and coordinated. We just enjoy and enjoy ourselves without having to worry about anything. We are looking forward to returning and of course we will rehire them. Thank you for the excellent service and attention.

Perfect 6 day tour - I had 6 nights in Turkey and GIT understood the assignment.. We saw as many things as is possible on such a short layover. We toured Istanbul (2 days), Cappadocia (2 days), Ephesus and Pamukkale.
Arrangement was seamless, and GIT was accommodating to all my requests. Flights and airport transfers were well managed with as little down time as possible.
Special thanks to our drivers Sarjan, Benjamin and Kazim, as well as our guides Ozan, Erdi, Seda and Zeynep. They really showed us some local joints which we really enjoyed. I am most grateful to Zeynep for managing to arrage a short detour to an extremely local copper cookware shop near Pamukkale that my wife was ecstatic about.
I loved that GIT was in constant contact with us throughout our trip, which made us feel well taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. 5 stars.

Highly recommended - GIT team was very helpful in curating this tour, as the plan was to see as many places in 7 days. The tour was seamless since we arrived in Istanbul and GIT handled our domestic flight bookings and check-ins, entrance ticket purchases and airport transfers. The entire team was very punctual, responsive and attentive.
Another outstanding point of the tour is definitely the guides. Mr Kemal (Istanbul), Mr Unluer (Cappadocia) & Ms Pinar (Ephesus), who were very knowledgeable, pleasant and very accomodating. Through them, we had the opportunity to have a wonderful and memorable time in Turkey.

Tailored Luxury Experience - If you are planning to visit Turkey and want to experience it like a local, I highly recommend booking with Guided Istanbul Tours and requesting Unluer in Cappadocia, Pinar in Izmir and Ephesus, and Burak in Istanbul. There is no doubt that you will have the best time!
Guided Istanbul Tours provided all the details and information we needed. Every request was accommodated, and the itinerary was well-tailored. The transportation was clean and comfortable, and our tour guides – Unluer, Pinar, and Burak – were incredibly knowledgeable. I’d like to highlight how punctual the drivers and guides were, and the communication was seamless. The service was efficient, and you really don’t need to think about anything. We truly enjoyed every moment of our trip!!!
