A CLOSER LOOK

An itinerary with room to breathe.

Our complete private-tour option suits people who would rather have one conversation than coordinate the day themselves. We start with your interests, not a rigid list of photo stops.

A proposal can combine licensed guiding with a planned route, meeting arrangements and—where required—private transport or other services. Nothing is assumed to be included until it appears in your quote.

What we can discuss

  • An itinerary designed for your group and available time
  • Licensed professional guiding
  • Hotel or port pickup arrangements, if required
  • Optional vehicle and transfers
  • Admission and meal arrangements where appropriate

ONE POSSIBLE DAY / NOT A FIXED PACKAGE

From Sultanahmet
to the waterfront.

A suggested rhythm for a first visit. Your own itinerary may look completely different.

  1. MorningMeet near Sultanahmet. Explore the Hippodrome and major monuments from the outside, with selected visits planned around opening hours.
  2. MiddayPause for lunch, then walk through the historic commercial streets toward the waterfront.
  3. AfternoonCross by ferry or explore Karaköy, depending on the weather, the group’s energy and confirmed arrangements.

BEFORE YOU ASK

The practical questions

Is a private vehicle always included? +

No. Istanbul’s traffic often makes walking, ferries and trams more practical. We include transport only if agreed in the proposal.

Do you guarantee fast-track entry? +

No. Entry procedures and queues depend on the venue and its current rules; we never promise privileged entry without confirmation.

Can the itinerary change on the day? +

There may be flexibility, subject to museum hours, distance, confirmed bookings and the guide’s agreed working time.

What is the difference from hiring only a guide? +

Guide-only focuses on the guide’s time and expertise. A complete private tour involves broader planning and any agreed extra services described in the quote.
