I contacted Istanbul Tour Studio to help us run a treasure hunt at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul for 200 people during our annual conference. We knew we wanted our participants to experience Turkish culture and get them out of the hotel whilst spending time with colleagues who they may not see regularly. Sinan and his team were professional in their approach and quick with their responses and we were able to deliver an excellent event within a few short weeks. They listened to our ideas and limitations and made sensible and practical suggestions to enhance the logistics, safety and engagement and create a personalised experience for our team. The treasure hunt was managed via an app that participants downloaded to their phones and was supported with 4G hotspots. This eliminated the need to use large amounts of data or access the Turkish mobile network and overcame the network deadzone within the Grand Bazaar. This was a fantastic idea and meant our teams could upload photos and video to share afterwards. Many of the participants are Purchasers, who negotiate as part of their job and are naturally competitive. As well as photo challenges and general knowledge questions, we gave each team 350 TL and they were tasked with buying the most pashminas and gloves for their budget, which were donated to charity afterwards. The participants loved this part of the challenge – the interaction with the shopkeepers in the Grand Bazaar, the negotiation and trying to get more for their money than the other teams and the donations to a good cause. Ultimately, the success of any event like this is measured by the participants and the feedback, and ours was universally positive: “Very well organised and slick” “Worked perfectly with digital and real time action” “It was perfect” “The best team building we’ve done” Thank you Sinan and the rest of the ITS team for your efforts. It really was an excellent event.

We planned our trip to Istanbul based in some very good reviews from a friend, and contacted Istanbul Tour Studio also as our friends recommended us. It was great. The tour was very well designed, flexible and focused on the most important sites of the city. The staff is very good prepared with history and explains and shows the city with details. When you are with the right people, you get to enjoy much more your visits, and We did enjoyed a lot. Recommended 100%.

Emre was a fantastic guide, telling stories of the ancient and the modern world, connecting threads, and making the Sultanahmet really come alive. He was personable, passionate, and thorough. He included recommendations regarding other activities, dining options, and transportation. Recommend this agency without reservation. Would give 5.5 stars if I could!

Booked two walking tours with Istanbul Tour Studio. “I Have One Day in Istanbul” and “Food of Two Continents “. Duygu was our guide and her knowledge and enthusiasm were great! We appreciated all her historical knowledge but also her willingness to talk about Istanbul today. Duygu came to our hotel and then we walked and talked. Really enjoyed the private tours and would highly recommend Istanbul Tour Studio and Duygu, our guide.

We had an extraordinary experience! We did a tour with them around Istanbul, I totally recommend it! If you want to see Istanbul by another point of view, have fun and enjoy every moment while you visit the most beautiful places of this wonderful city, this is the Tour company you should choose! Good people, good atmosphere, good energy!

We had just 2.5 days in Istanbul and Duygu and the Istanbul Tour Studio made it the most cherished experience! We were so so so blessed to have Duygu with us - she is motivated, spirited and takes you through Istanbul through the eyes of a true culture and history appreciator. While taking you to all the must-do places, she takes the extra effort to show you the true hidden gems. We started by booking Istanbul Tour Studio for one day, but seeing the take-away from one day itself, we booked them for the entire 2.5 days. Duygu makes you absolutely fall in love with the architecture, the architects, the coffee, the tea and so many little things you didn't know you were missing. If you want to fall in love with Istanbul - please go ahead and book them - We are definitely coming back to Istanbul for more. Aditi!

I always recommend Istanbul Tour Studio for my foreign friends visiting Istanbul. They offer private guidance and tour services in Istanbul. Booking tours is very easy and fun. You can choose among specially designed Istanbul tours from their website. Good value for fair prices.

Contacted Istanbul Tour Studio per my friend's recommendation. Our guide was very knowledgeable - answered our questions in detail. We had a really good time during the tour. Bottom line: Highly recommended for all visiting Istanbul

We've been to Turkey several times and have to admit this is the best tour company we've ever experienced. Our guide was extremely kind and very knowledgable. We learned so much more this trip than all the previous tours combined. Istanbul Tours should really be a role model for every tour company in the world. Look forward to hiring them next year!

Our day-long spiritual walking tour with our delightful, thoughtful and well-informed guide Çiçek was an utter delight. Highly recommended.

We had an outstanding experience using Istanbul Tour Studio. Sinan provided us with a customized itinerary that met our needs perfectly. My wife and I are very particular about tours and are cautious to choose tour companies that have strong local knowledge, are flexible in their approach, and can go off the beaten path. We travel extensively and always travel independently. Istanbul Tour Studio met our needs perfectly. We took a customized walking tour our first day in Istanbul and it exceeded our expectations. The tour combined knowledge and exposure to the main attractions, while finding and providing unique experiences along the way. From stopping at an off the beaten path coffee shop, to getting lunch at the grand bazaar with no tourist around (yes there was actually a great spot Sinan showed us) we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and experience.

Best guides I ever had! First-rate custom tours of the amazing Istanbul, giving you authentic, unique and in-depth experiences that highlights the singularities that makes this city so special. Relaxed and totally enjoyed the tours, which these guys, using their expertise to find and show the best locations, the best accommodations and the best activities the city has to offer, showed me. I heard stories about the city that I haven't found in any guidebook, and got the amazing tips to fully enjoy the city like a local. From history to street art, tastes and sights of this amazing city, they really provide tours and Istanbul experience that is perfectly attuned to all of travelers wants and demands. Definitely recommending them, and doing different tours when I go back!

From the beginning to the end it was a memorable experience. A professional team with excellent service. Communication was outstanding, everything was throughly explained in detail. It’s not always easy choosing a tour company but we definitely would recommend Istanbul Tour Studios for all your travel needs, they fully customized a trip for our diverse family of 9. The personal recommendations never disappointed they exceeded all our expectations, we range from teens to adults and everyone had a wonderful experience. We started our journey in Cappadocia with Nihat Yilmaz, he is a wonderful guide that went above and beyond to make our experience in Cappadocia memorable. His knowledge of the area and history kept us engaged throughout the three days. He was always ready to answer any questions and had a friendly disposition that made it so easy to talk to him. Our guide, Yasemin showed us the best of Istanbul, she is professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She surpassed all our expectations. Istanbul Tour Studios is worthy of the five stars and beyond highly recommend.

Highly Recommended! I am Rowing Istanbul was a close to magical and tailored experience. With no previous rowing knowledge our guide has been doing a great job getting us to row synchronized after about 25 minutes and we were in absolute flow on the Bosporus, a feeling that I will never forget. Rowing gets you to experience Istanbul in a different way above water and feels very peaceful. Istanbul Tours is a highly trustable and rich in historical and art in Istanbul knowledge that I can highly recommend! Thank you Sinan and Team for the fantastic experience we will come back for more!

We did the rowing experience and photography walk. Both excellent experiences. Lots of credit for our tour guide, Emre, who provided us with a lot of information and showed us places we wouldn't have discovered ourselves. Thank you.
