Booking this trip with Turkland Travel Agency was one of the best decisions we have ever made! From the moment I reached out to Ibrahim he listened to what we wanted to get out of the trip and then created the perfect itinerary just for us! Communication was impeccable before, during, and after the trip which is a level of service I have never experienced before. Our guide, Sinan, who was with us for 8 days was an absolute delight! Incredibly knowledgeable, kind, flexible, and considerate of the fact we were traveling with kids. I cannot imagine experiencing Türkiye any other way and excited to come back someday! Thank you for the memories!!
We had such a lovely time with Ulas and our driver. Absolute perfection! Ulas is a historian and gave us insights to the evolution of the rock formations and the people of the area ! We had an amazing meal recommended by him. Ibrahim our travel coordinator was brilliant. We told him what we wanted and he absolutely delivered! I highly recommend this tour company and I hope you get Ulas. He’s the best!
We were surprised at how good our Istanbul to Cappadocia tour was. The organisation was impaccable, in a quiet and unobtrusive way. Everything went very smoothly. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and willing to adapt to suit us when appropriate. He even appreciated our style of humour.... We saw all the usual sights, which were fascinating, and learnt lots of interesting things about the people of Turkey, the history, the landscape, the economy - and the food! - anything we were interested in. The driver was proficient, skilled, extremely nice, and helpful. The whole team were terrific. Highly recommended.
Our holiday in Turkey was amazing. The Country is awesome, but Turkland guided tours ensured we got the most out of every day. Sue and I have just returned to our lovely hotel after a 6 hour food tour through different parts of Istanbul using trams, ferries and of course our feet. Just imagine anchovies and mussels at 10am, beer at 11. The best pickles imaginable a selection of amazing dishes for lunch, topped off with rich chocolate profiteroles and Turkish coffee cooked on coals. And that was just today. Onor, a director of the company, has spent three days showing us the best of Istanbul and teaching us about its ancient and modern history. He’s also a great guy to go shopping with, and patient too I might add. I can’t remember three days I’ve enjoyed so much. But the whole trip was stunning. The tour of Ephesus, the three day cruise on a gulet swimming with turtles, the balloon ride in Cappadocia and the list goes on. The hotels were well chosen with great locations, the drivers were on time and helpful and the tours excellent. Ibrahim kept tabs on us every day, I do wonder when he sleeps. He even checked us in on flights. I can’t thank these two wonderful men enough for the amazing time we’ve had, the wonderful sights we’ve seen and the beautiful people we’ve met.
We had an amazing private tour with Turkland..Our caring and very knowledgeable guide Sinan was brilliant.. The trip couldn’t have gone any smoother.. The mini bus was very luxurious and so was our accommodation..The history and sights we saw was out of this world.. The food was amazing and Sinan seemed to know all the best and unique places to dine…We will never forget this whole experience and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of traveling to Turkey to book a private tour through Turkland…Sinan travelled with us the whole way and we felt extremely safe and cared for…a private tour is the only way to go and Turkland made it possible… Thankyou so much Ibrahim..

We enjoyed all aspects of our trip including Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus,Troy and Gallipoli. Our guide Sinan was very generous with his knowledge, flexible to our specific needs and well organised. There were no hidden costs. Accomodation at all locations was very good and well located for sightseeing and food options.Would definitely recommend!
Friends at an American Embassy recommended Turkland Travel when we were looking for a guide in Istanbul. Since we stayed in Sultanahmet, we could have walked to all the top attractions with our own map but it was wonderful having a guide to lead us through the streets, help us skip some lines, visit local restaurants (rather than tourist places), explain the historical and cultural significance of what we were seeing, and arrange a private 2 hour sunset Bosphorus tour. We loved Ozden, our extraordinary guide for 2 days and conoisseur of all things Turkish, and we highly recommend their services.
Ozden was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable of history and sites. He was very honest in providing guidance, genuine, funny and trustable. He was also very flexible to adapt the tour to our needs. I was traveling with my mum and an aunt, both elderly, who needed to take it easy and for which we needed to find easy and walkable paths. He made his best to find us the best ways through the city. Even after we finished our scheduled days with him he wrote daily to check on us and help us with scheduling of shows, taxis, etc. he also directed us to excellent restaurants and reputable vendors. We left with great memories and an excellent view of Istambul thanks to Ozden
We had such a wonderful time. We couldn't have done it without ibrahim and his team of tour guides. They were informative, professional and went out of there way to make our Turkish experience memorable. We cant thank them enough… the communication throughout our trip was excellent.
Thank you to both the Travel Agents from Istanbul Ibrahim and Marcus from Melbourne who organised our trip to Turkey. They are both professional and extremely organised, all our bookings with hotels and courtesy pick up from airports and hotels and guides were excellent we had no bad experiences and I would like to say that Ibrahim was always responsive to all our questions and concerns and would keep us updated if there were any changes and his communications were excellent.
We had our whole trip organized, including trips from and to the airport and a 2 days private guiding tour in Istanbul with Ulas, that was a perfect guide and knew everything. We highly recommend this tour, you see all the must sees in Istanbul and get all the history behind it. Totally worth it!
This was such a fantastic way to visit Turkey. The guides were knowledgeable and very pleasant. We learnt a huge amount about the history & culture of Turkey. They know the best places to visit and how to minimise the disruptions of the crowds
The guiding could not have been any better. IT was extremely easy to communicate to set things up. Ozden was our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, fun, engaging. He seemed to tailor his information to our family specifically as he got to know us better. My kids loved him(which is saying something for a 13 year old boy with all the history). He seemed to know about everything we asked and interesting tidbits as well. He mastered the art of giving us information but also giving us time to explore the sights on our own. It was the best thing we did on our two week trip to Greece and Istanbul. By the end of the trip I honestly felt like Ozden was more of a friend than anything else. When I return to Turkey in the future the first thing I will do is arrange for him to guide us again. I really can't express how great it was and worth every penny and then a lot more.
Esperienza da fare assolutamente una volta nella vita sia i ragazzi del organizzazione che quelli della guida della mongolfiera gentilissimi e molto cortesi, ti fanno sentire proprio come a casa. Veramente stupendo.
We had an extraordinary time with Ozden - he made sure we saw all the key sites - at the right time but then also made sure we had a taste of Istanbul. In addition to the mosques and palaces a highlight for me was a trip down the Bosporus to an amazing local seafood restaurant for locals. And he was tremendous in helping us navigate the maze of markets and aggressive vendors so that we could buy souvenirs and not get scammed. Ozden also gave us excellent advice in choosing a hotel and spending some time on our own. I will absolutely work with this extraordinary team again - and hope to return to Turkey soon.
We had an incredible two-day tour of Istanbul with this agency! Their communication was excellent, and their team was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. They accommodated all our needs and provided us with wonderful insights into Istanbul's history and culture. Highly recommend them!
We would highly recommend hiring Ibrahim and his team when organising a trip to Turkey! We are 2 Australian girls in our mid-late twenties, and decided to outsource the transfers and inner details of our trip, as we did not know what to expect from Turkey. At all times, we felt safe and well looked after as Ibrahim diligently kept us up to date with what we needed to know, allowing us to enjoy a carefree and relaxing holiday in Turkey. All tours and transfers were handled with professionalism and efficiency, and all members of Ibrahim’s team were kind and helpful. We could not have asked for a better way to travel around Turkey and we will definitely use him and his team again when we plan to return to this beautiful country. We rate him 5 stars!!!
We loved our tour today with our guide Husniye. She was very informative and very pleasant. Would highly recommend going through this company for your next tour in Istanbul.
Ibrahim was marvellous in organising our Istanbul and Aegean tour.Helpful and communicative at all times.We could not have been in better hands.
We really enjoyed this tour! It was a long day & our driver Cahit was very patient & courteous. Our guide Apo was very knowledgeable for both the Gallipoli & Troy tours. Lunch was delicious. We were well looked after in every aspect.
We had an amazing time and felt comfortable and well taken care of the entire trip (mother and young adult daughter). This included private guides for sightseeing and bazaars in Istanbul, guided hike and Underground City of Cappadoccia, and classical sites at Ephesus. The balloon ride was unbelievable! Our guides were knowledgeable and fun. We added time on the beach and boating on the Turquoise Coast. All transports were private, on-time and professional. Thank you Ibrahim, Yokturk, Nameer and Fethe for making this trip so special. Ibrahim checked in with us regularly and provided any advice we sought. For beautiful accommodations and personal attention, the price was reasonable. It was a wonderful way to see an amazing country with no worries on our part because everything was arranged for us.
We had the great pleasure of working with Ibrahim & Turkland Travel as part of a 3 1/2 week visit to Turkey. Our experience was with private guides & dedicated drivers. From a logistics perspective, Ibrahim coordinated everything including some changes we requested & extra services including shipping goods home when we went a bit mad shopping! He organised brilliant guides in Sinan for the journey from Istanbul, through Canakkale to Sirince & all key sites…do not miss Aphrodisius…where we received fabulous insights into the history & culture of the regions. From there, to Cappadocia where Asim once again led us superbly around this stunning country. Thoroughly enjoyed & especially the experiences of ‘family kitchens’ we were introduced to by our guides. Thanks to all for a fantastic adventure.
I was able to see many of the wonderful things in Istanbul because my guide Onur Tuntas made it so easy for me. I saw the Blue Mosques, Hagia Sofia, Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace, the spice market, old Bazaar, the Bosporus river tour. My favorite was the underground cistern which we were able to skip the long line to get in. Onur was very knowledgeable about the history of the places but did not overwhelm me with too much information. He also helped me to visit the shops for my special purchases, such as the best place to buy Turkish rugs and specialty hand made instruments. It was so helpful to have him translate and communication for me with his excellent English speaking. He gave the best advice for restaurants and other local attractions such and shopping where to see belly dancing. Just ask him anything and he and Turkland agency will help to make your visit catered to you as best as possible! I will definitely come back!
What an amazing experience!!! This balloon ride was breathtaking and the staff were so friendly, well organised and very professional. These memories will last a life time and we have beautiful photos to remember this experience. We will definitely be coming back and bringing friends along next time! Thank you so much ❤️
Amazing 3 day tour with Turkland Tours, guided by Goktug. We arrived 6 AM in the morning our guide was waiting for us at the exit. He took us local restaurant where we enjoyed delicious breakfast then join 2 hour cruise on private yacht. We visited all main sights in 3 days and our guide was simply perfect !! Thank you Turkland Tours and Ibrahim
I have dreamt of seeing Hagia Sophia since my college art history classes. And when my cruise tour excursion sold out I was lost, but this tour services exceeded all my expectations. Ibrahim organized everything. He asked all the right questions to tailor our limited time perfectly. From airport pick up to getting us to and from our cruise boat and back again. We saw everything I asked for - no rushing no wait in long lines. And all the time with expert information about what we were seeing from Onur and Özden. Yes, we had two guides. We were pampered.
My wife and I love Turkey, and Ibrahim and Turkland travel has been our go to Travel Agency to make it happen. We want to see a lot of Turkey, and want to do a lot of interesting and unique things that most tours miss. Turkland travel has helped us have our best vacation by arranging custom travel and tours so that we could make the most of our vacation. We have spent nearly 40 days in Turkey in the past 3.5 years, and Ibrahim has orchestrated (almost?) every one of those days hah. From flights, to taxi's to front of the line tours, Ibrahim has helped us maximize our vacation. This journey was well orchestrated and unbelievably smooth, we didn't have to worry about a thing, allowing us to focus entirely on relaxing and adventuring.
Fabulous 5 day trip in Turkey thanks to Ibrahim & Turkland Travel. We spent 3 Days in Istanbul and 2 Days in Gallipoli - Troy. All our guides, drivers were fantastic and we really enjoyed each second. Thank you guys !! Your are all amazing.
We booked sun set cruise with Turkland Travel and Ibrahim made our arragements. From beginning to end everything was just perfect! The yacht and the guide made our day memorable !!
We had a fantastic 2 days exploring the wonders of Istanbul with our guide Goktug. We have used guides in several cities around the world and most are knowledgeable about their territory. However, an excellent guide will do more than simply recite facts and figures. They will try understand what you are interested in, what you don’t want to do, help with practicalities like transport, shopping, medicines, food options etc. This makes for a much more tailored experience, and this is what we received over our 2 days with Goktug.
This was my second visit to Turkey and working with Ozden, Onur and Turkland Tours. They add so much to the tour. They have impeccable knowledge of the area and their attention to detail and service s terrific. . Istanbul has a myriad of incredible historical sites to visit, delicious food and beautiful items to buy for memories of a great experience.
We saw many fantastic sights and had a wonderful experience. Our guides were very knowledgeable and open to answer any question or respond to any request. I would not hesitate to use Turkland Tours again and would recommend them to anyone considering visiting Turkey. If you've not been to Turkey, you should go, and use Turkland to make all your arrangements.
Well organized tour and guides pick up. Very warm people and tour guides with good knowledge and tips. Cappadocia is a must, just wonderful. Nice hotel selection.
A week trip to Istanbul - Cappadocia arranged by Turkland Travel was just perfect. Timing, guides, hotels each detail carried by Ibrahim was outstanding. Our balloon in Cappadocia got canceled due to weather conditions, Ibrahim refunded us back ! Thank you Turkland Travel
Had such a wonderful time exploring Istanbul with our guide helpful and friendly guide! From pick up to hotel transfer, to all the city sights to see, everything was smooth and seamless! Thank you so much to Ibrahim, who was both friendly, so well-organized and super quick to make last minute changes as well. We’ll be back for sure, and will be in touch again for our next tour!
