Multiple districts in one day
Combine places such as Sultanahmet, Galata, the Bosphorus and the Asian side when time and traffic make the route realistic.

Payment, confirmation & cancellation
Your request is reviewed before it becomes a confirmed booking. Cash in EUR, USD, TRY or GBP is preferred; card payment at the office POS normally carries the bank’s approximately 5–7% processing fee. Unless your written quote states a stricter supplier term, cancellation at least 24 hours before service is refundable. Yacht, special vehicle, ticket and third-party activity bookings may have separate conditions, which are shown before payment.
No compulsory shopping—ever
There are no required carpet, leather, jewelry, spice or souvenir stops. A shop, market or workshop is included only when it is part of the advertised subject or you ask for it. You are always free to leave without buying.
Know before you go
- Drivers may have basic English and are not licensed guides.
- Send all stops before confirmation so distance and feasibility can be priced correctly.
- Luggage reduces passenger capacity.
- Vehicles cannot wait illegally at monument entrances.
Questions guests ask
Will the driver guide us inside sights?
No. Turkish regulations distinguish professional driving from licensed guiding. Add a guide for commentary and escorted visits.
Can we change the route during the day?
Usually within time and service zone, but major distance changes or overtime need approval.
How many passengers fit?
It depends on luggage. A Vito/Transporter is commonly suitable for 6–8 passengers without heavy luggage; larger groups need a Sprinter.
Is a child seat available?
On advance request and subject to availability; provide the child’s age/size.
