It is fully private — your clients travel with their own licensed guide, driver and vehicle throughout, at their own pace. There are no strangers on the tour and no fixed departure dates; we run it on the days your booking needs.

We quote net agency rates on application — there are no public prices, so you set your own retail margin. The rate covers 2 nights in a 4–5★ hotel on B&B, 2 lunches, the Bosphorus cruise, all listed entrance fees, a private licensed guide and private transport and airport transfers. International and domestic flights, dinners, personal expenses and tips are not included.
