Istanbul Tours & Turkey Tour Packages

Private Istanbul Tours & Tailor-Made Turkey Trips

Get Istanbul Tours plans private and small-group tours in Istanbul and across Türkiye for travellers who want a guide of their own, a clear plan and a fair price. As a licensed travel agency (TÜRSAB) we work only with licensed local guides and answer every request ourselves, from a three-hour walk in the Old City to a two-week trip around the country.

Private Istanbul Tours Built Around Your Day

Istanbul is easier and far more enjoyable with someone who knows it. Your guide meets you at your hotel or port, takes you to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace and the Grand Bazaar at the right time of day, and tells the stories behind them.

There is no fixed group to keep up with. You choose how long to stay at each place, when to stop for lunch and whether to add a market, a hidden mosque or a ferry ride across the Bosphorus.

Whether you have a few hours between flights, one full day or several days in the city, we help you choose what fits, then send you the route, what is included and the full price before you book.

Private Tours for Every Kind of Traveller

Some guests come for the history, some for the food and some just want to see as much as possible in a short time. A private tour lets the guide shape the day around the people in the group, not the other way round.

We plan tours for couples, families with children, friends travelling together, older travellers who prefer a slower pace and cruise passengers with a fixed return time.

Popular private tour options include:

• Half-day Istanbul Old City tours
• Full-day private Istanbul tours
• Private shore excursions for cruise passengers
• Bosphorus cruises and private yacht trips
• Istanbul food and market tours
• Family-friendly private tours
• Private tours for couples and small groups
• Multi-day Istanbul and Türkiye trips

Every itinerary can be changed for opening days, weather, walking distance and the needs of your group. Just tell us what matters to you.

Turkey Tour Packages for Travellers from Around the World

Planning a trip to Türkiye from the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, India or anywhere else? Our Turkey tour packages put the whole trip together for you: hotels, airport transfers, domestic flights, private guides and the tours themselves, in one plan with one price.

Choose an Istanbul package for a city break with the Old City and a Bosphorus cruise, a Cappadocia package with a cave hotel and the chance of a sunrise balloon flight, or a multi-city Turkey package that adds Ephesus, Pamukkale, Antalya and more. For faith travel there are biblical tour packages to the Seven Churches and the footsteps of Saint Paul.

Every package is private and can be changed: add nights, swap a hotel, add a tour or travel on your own dates. Tell us how many days you have and what you want to see, and we send you a full day-by-day plan before you book.

Only have a few days in the city? Our private Istanbul tours cover the Old City, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Grand Bazaar and the Bosphorus in half-day, full-day and multi-day options, and any of them can be added to a Turkey package.

Private Shore Excursions for Cruise Passengers

Our shore excursions are made for cruise passengers who want to see the highlights without the stress of a large group. You get a private vehicle, a licensed guide and a plan that matches your arrival and all-aboard times.

In Istanbul, a port day can cover the Old City, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace or the Grand Bazaar, or a mix of the city and a short Bosphorus cruise. Galataport is right in the city, so little time is lost on the road.

From Kusadasi port, most guests visit Ephesus, the Terrace Houses and the House of the Virgin Mary. See our Ephesus private shore excursion from Kusadasi for a ready-made plan.

Shore excursions are also possible from Bodrum and Izmir. Depending on the port and your time ashore, the day can focus on ancient sites, a local town, the coast or a wine tasting.

Bosphorus Cruises & Private Boat Trips

The Bosphorus shows Istanbul from the water: palaces, wooden mansions, fortresses and the bridges between Europe and Asia. It is one of the most relaxing ways to see the city.

You can join a Bosphorus lunch cruise, add a short cruise to your city tour or book a private yacht for a sunset trip, a celebration or a quiet evening on the water.

Tailor-Made Turkey Tours

Your trip does not have to end in Istanbul. We plan multi-day trips that add Cappadocia, Ephesus, Pamukkale, Gallipoli, Troy, Antalya, Bodrum and other parts of Türkiye.

Depending on your plans, we arrange domestic flights, airport transfers, hotels, private transport and licensed guides in each region, so you have one team to talk to for the whole trip.

You get one clear plan with every day, every transfer and the full price, instead of booking each part on your own.

Licensed Guides & Local Support

Get Istanbul Tours is a licensed travel agency, a member of TÜRSAB, and every tour is led by a licensed professional guide who lives in Türkiye and knows the places well.

We help with tour times, pick-up details, transfers and changes before and during your trip. Guides who speak your language can be arranged, depending on the date.
