Excellent Tour of Western Turkey
5 - Excellent
  • Edward Alport
“Our guide Çağman was very knowledgeable about both ancient and modern Turkish history, and about architecture. He provided in-depth descriptions of the places we visited, and was always happy to answer our questions and to give us suggestions for which regional foods to try as we proceeded through the country. The accommodations were all very nice, and we felt very safe and welcome in this beautiful, historic country.”

“We surly had wonderful and a memorable vacation. We had opted 12N-13D private tailor made trip. The team was very responsive and never disappointed us at any point of the vacation. We were really relaxed and never felt tired during the entire trip. The team took immediate action when our plans changed and we really appreciate it. I will sure recommend this agency to all our friends and relatives.”
Well-planned and accommodating

“Alican, from the local travel expert, was very accomodating and friendly in his service. On the first day in Turkey, it snowed unexpectedly, he kindly lent his jacket for us to use, this was highly appreciated. Alican went out of his way to ensure that the hotel check-in and check-out process was smooth and without any issues. Alican and Selcuk, are always earlier to arrive at the stated time. They recommended food places where locals go and are not tourist traps. The agency needs to be more sensitive to the selection of hotels as some hotels are not in a good location for night time sleep. Overall, our trip was well-planned and we were invited to Selcuk's home for a Turkish home-cooked lunch with their family and friends, this is a very kind and appreciated gesture. Alican and Selcuk put the welfare of guests as their top priority and we would be happy to travel with them in the future.”

Istanbul — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Travel Highlights

  • The Hagia Sophia is the highlight of all Istanbul tours. Constructed in the sixth century, the Hagia Sophia is one of the world’s largest cathedrals that was converted into a mosque in the 15th century and a museum in 1935.
  • Your Istanbul visit will not be complete without stopping by Sultanahmet Mosque, also called the Blue Mosque. Built around the early 17th century, the Blue Mosque is one of the world's most impressive monuments.
  • Exploring the Topkapi Palace should be one of the top things to do in Turkey for all visitors. The vast Harem complex features a dazzling display of Islamic art, including intricate tile work.
  • The Basilica Cistern is a must-visit on your Istanbul tours. It is a massive subterranean cistern with hundreds of columns arranged in 12 rows.
  • Never leave Istanbul without visiting the Grand Bazaar, a vast covered market featuring thousands of shops scattered across dozens of streets. Exercise your bargaining skills when making a purchase.

Travel Tips

  • If you are looking for something authentic to try in Istanbul while touring Turkey, order a cup of Yayik ayran, a bubbly yogurt drink. Although it can serve as a standalone drink, it goes really well with any savory dish.
  • When visiting a mosque, schedule your visit outside of prayer time. No one is allowed to enter the mosques during prayer times, which also applies at the Sultanahmet Mosque, one of the city's top attractions.
  • Aside from spices, Grand Bazaar also sells herbal remedies that can cure different illnesses.
  • When shopping for Turkish delights, head to Altan Sekerleme, a classic candy shop that opened in 1865. It is a family-run shop that sells authentic Turkish delights. In fact, many Istanbul tours will take tourists to this famous shop.
