Private Turkey Circuit with a French-Speaking Guide 2027

A private circuit in Turkey can be booked with us in two ways: as a package with hotels and domestic flights, or as a fully private programme with a vehicle and a guide just for you. The "Premium Istanbul and Cappadocia Tour Package: 6 Days, 5 Nights" starts at $1,250 per person, and all our circuits are gathered on the Turkey circuits page. Our Istanbul tours combine with them, and for a French-speaking guide we confirm the name in writing before any payment. Put your questions on WhatsApp.

Information checked on 6 November 2026. Our prices are "from" prices in US dollars; the site's currency switch shows them in euros.

Private Circuit or Organised Group Tour: What Is the Difference?

On a classic organised tour you leave with thirty people you have never met, on a coach, with a programme that does not move. On a private circuit only your party travels: a couple, a family, a few friends. The pace is yours, the order of visits too, and the guide stops when you want.

A word on the name. Voyage Privé is an online sales brand that has nothing to do with us or with the meaning of "private" here. With us, private means one precise thing: no unknown travellers in the vehicle or on the visit.

We offer two levels. The package has a fixed order, middle-class hotels with breakfast chosen from our selection, domestic flights, transfers and visits; the "from" price is on the page of each circuit. The fully private programme is built on request, with a van, local licensed guides in each region, domestic flights in economy class and entrance fees.

Our Private Circuits in Turkey, with Prices

Prices are per person and, according to the page of each circuit, include nights in a middle-class hotel with breakfast, the domestic flights, the airport transfers and the visits listed. The exact hotels are confirmed with your approval, subject to availability.

Not included: the flight from France, most dinners, the balloon flight and tips. The balloon is the biggest optional item and is paid per person; the offers are on the page Cappadocia excursions.

French-Speaking Guide: How We Confirm It

Every visit is led by a licensed Turkish guide. English is the most booked language, but the team also includes licensed guides for French, German, Spanish, Russian and Arabic. On the circuit pages French is listed for Istanbul and Istanbul-Cappadocia; for the longer circuits through Ephesus and Pamukkale you ask for it and we check. It happens in four steps.

1. You choose a package or a private programme and write "French-speaking guide" in the request.
2. We look at which licensed French-speaking guides are free on your dates, in Istanbul and in the other regions.
3. We confirm guide, route and price in writing.
4. You confirm and pay only after that.

If no French-speaking guide is free on your date, we tell you before booking, not on the morning of the visit. For Easter, the spring holidays and All Saints, ask a few weeks ahead. For the detail of visits in French, see the page French-speaking guide in Istanbul.

Private Best of Istanbul and Cappadocia Tour Package: 10 Days, 9 Nights, from $2,499

Sample 6-Day Private Circuit: Istanbul and Cappadocia

The "Istanbul and Cappadocia, 6 days" package sleeps two nights in Istanbul and three in Cappadocia. It is the shortest one that shows both regions. We set the order of the days with you; the programme contains these items.

Two nights in Istanbul are short for a first visit. If Istanbul draws you more, take the 8-day or 10-day package.

Sample 10-Day Circuit: Five Nights in Istanbul, Four in Cappadocia

The "Istanbul and Cappadocia, 10 days" package extends to only one region, so it leaves time. The five nights in Istanbul allow what short stays forget.

The dinner cruises and the Turkish night have their own entertainment in a group; they are not guided visits in French. For a wider loop, the "Best of Turkey, 10 days" package adds Ephesus and Pamukkale.

Cappadocia 2-Day Tour from Istanbul: Flights, Cave Hotel & Transfers, from $599

Fully Private Programme: Van, Guide, Free Itinerary

An example of a fully private programme is the "Turkey Private Tour 10 Days" tour: ten days through Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Pamukkale and Konya, with a private van, local guides, domestic flights in economy class, entrance fees and airport transfers. Hotels, meals and tips are not included there; we book hotels on request. The price is not on the page, because it depends on the group size and the dates.

We give it to you in writing after your request. The bigger the group, the lower the price per person, since the van and the guide are shared. The length runs from 5 to 21 days; all options are described on the page private circuits in Turkey. To compare with an itinerary you organise yourself, read Turkey circuit 10 days.

From France: Flights and ID Card

Turkish Airlines, Air France, Pegasus, Transavia and AJet link Paris (Roissy or Orly) with Istanbul in 3 h 40 on average; Turkish Airlines has the most departures. From Lyon, Pegasus and AJet fly to Sabiha Gökçen in about 3 hours, from Nice Turkish Airlines and Pegasus in 2 h 45, from Marseille from 3 h 20. Istanbul has two airports, and our transfers wait for you at both.

France Diplomatie states that French citizens can travel to Turkey with a national ID card or a valid passport, valid at least 150 days after the date of entry (October 2026). No visa is needed for a tourist stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Check the country page before you leave, because rules change. The detail of stay costs is on Turkey trip: prices.

Private Istanbul and Ephesus Tour Package: 8 Days, 7 Nights, from $1,880

To know when to go, read the best time to visit Turkey; Cappadocia is cold in winter and the balloons stay on the ground more often. Write us on WhatsApp your dates, the number of travellers and the itinerary you imagine. We reply with a price, a guide and a confirmation, and you decide afterwards.
