          Excellent Tour
          We were collected exactly on time from the Marmara Hotel. The driver was friendly and polite and the bus was clean and air conditioned. Collection of other passengers was very efficient. Our tour guide (I didn’t catch his name) was very knowledgable, easy going and a real pleasure to be led by. Great guy. Very likeable. My only complaint is that we did not have enough time in Istanbul to see all of the wonderful treasures and to discover more of the amazing history and heritage, however I am grateful to have covered so much in a single day, which would not be possible without a guide, and your service perfectly served this purpose. I would highly recommend this tour and I will definitely be back for a longer visit. All in all, brilliant service and great value.

          The best transport company in Istanbul
          If you want to have a peace in your mind once you arrive Istanbul, contact this company. If you need to daily service, call this company. The drivers are polite, patience and professional. Strongly recommended

          Professional & Efficient
          Reliable, efficient, professional, safe, and secure at a reasonable cost. Easy to book with continuous customer care via WhatsApp. We were a family of 5, and everything went smoothly to and from the hotel. No delay, and easy instructions provided. I would not consider using any other company.

          Amazing sunset cruise - small luxury yacht!
          We booked the luxury yacht sunset cruise after reading review of Adore Travel after booking an airport transfer in Istanbul. The transfer to hotel was excellent - great driver, great vehicle. Then we received some recommendations and selected the sunset cruise. It was AMAZING and exceeded expectations. From hotel pickup to the small yacht - only 20 other in board - snacks and beverages and small cash bar. Service was great - views all we hoped and the sunset was divine! Highly recommend.

          Istanbul Heritage Tour
          Wonderful Heritage tour for one day! Covers all the main attractions. Our tour guide Ali is one of the most knowledgeable and professional guides and is also very friendly, polite, and respectful. The atmosphere he creates is warm and welcoming. Awesome experience. The company itself is extremely organized - everything is on time, good communication with necessary instructions, excellent staff. Used them also for the airport transfer.

          Great.
          Everything worked like clockwork. Enjoyable tour. Muzaffar, the tour guide was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. Lunch was at a basic kabob place but delicious. I also used Adore to book my car to Sabina. Would use them again.

          Great introduction to Istanbul
          This was a very comprehensive tour and well organized. Galel was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and able to answer the many questions we had. The boat ride on the Bosphorus was a relaxing way to take in the sights and sounds. We decided to do the Basilica Cistern after the tour and Galel gave us tips on how to do that. Definitely a day well spent. Thanks very much, Galel! Tip: when you go to the spice market, get off the main area and go to the side streets to get a more authentic experience. We stumbled upon the best Baclava at Tatlıcı Safa while roaming around. We also booked our airport transfer with this company and it was a very smooth and easy transaction. We just paid in cash on the day itself and they contact you via messaging app to arrange everything.

          Best Tour in Istanbul
          I must recommend to book this tour, they covered almost all the tourist attractions. Driver and Guide were so humble. Guide explained everything perfectly answering everyone’s questions. Plus we didnt have to wait in any queue for tickets or anything as it was pre booked by the company. Thank you so much Adore tours for amazing day.

        I have been using Adore for airport transfer for several years now and they are completely reliable and with great communication. On my recent trip I was traveling with mine and my brothers family plus my mother who is not very mobile so with 9 of us + wheelchair decided to use their mini van hire service as well. We had Captain Ufuk taking care of us for the 4 days in Istanbul and it was the best thing I did. Just being able to jump in and out and see all the sights without having to worry about taxis, reliable guide to all the sights and having the option to just jump in the van and take a respite from the sun was great. Also quite cost effective when you consider the time saving and not having to haggle or worry about taxi drivers taking you in circles.

        I have booked a private car and private excursion for my boss, he came for half a day to Istanbul and wanted to do sightseeing.
        Let me 100% recommend you Istanbul Daily CityTours agency.
        From my point of view it's a very reliable agency choosing which you will feel 100 and even more percent guarantee that everything will go at the best level.
        I felt myself in good hands starting from the beginning, i mean from the communication with the agency representative who has explained to me all the details of the trip, of the meet and greet process in a very polite and attantive manner. He paid attention to all the details of the trip making it convenient for the client, my boss.
        Car park is great, cars are new, spacious and driver is very attentive.
        It was a tour with a giude who spoke very well English and was very friendly.
        So the agency pays highest attention to the client trying to do everything possible to have the guest feel himself comfortable.
        Price is less compared to some other agencies which i've spoken to.
        Again - highly recommended!

        We booked a private car with driver at the last minute and not only our request was made possible, we were given a Mercedes Vito VIP for a discounted price too. The driver was wonderful and very helpful. It was a very great experience using the company. The help from the admin who always texted to make sure everything is good. Thank you.

        Hire the same driver for your entire stay. Sinan was the best driver we’ve had on any vacation ever!! He took care of every one of our needs and we felt so safe and comfortable with him. His motto is “no problem”, and he means it! We were 5 American ladies in Istanbul for the first time and he suggested the best places to see and the best restaurants to eat at. We were able to hire him every day and we were so happy and thankful to see him every morning. Sinan made us feel extremely comfortable, and we will suggest hiring him to our friends and family who will vacation here in the future!
        We’ll miss you, Sinan!!! Thank you for everything!!!

        The best transfer / private chaffeur experience in Istanbul. It was the first time I felt welcomed and safe driving around Istanbul. The driver (Mr. Cuneyt) arrived just in time, waited right next to the building, communicating was easy and he spoke good English. Mr Cuneyt was very supportive and friendly, always smiling and caring for our 1 year old. We enjoyed comfortable and safe journey around Istanbul and would 100% recommend it to anybody looking for a safe and reliable private chauffeur service for 4-8 hours.

        My friends and I were truly blessed to have Sinan as our driver and guide during our 1 week Istanbul adventure… we looked forward to his beautiful smile and cheery demeanor… he made our trip all the better 🙏. I would highly recommend Adore tours and ask for Sinan! They fulfilled every one of our requests, pick ups were always on time, and suggestions regarding sites and restaurants were perfectly suited to our group. Unforgettable experience. Ps, bottomless bowls of Turkish delight were a plus 😋

        I had to transit for 8 hours in Istanbul so I decided to go out and seize the opportunity to have Jumnah Prayer in Hagia Sophia and visit Eyup Sultan. I also had some time to spend in Topkapi Palace after almost 8 years again. But this time it was not too much people and so easy and too kuch time. Even had a good time inside Hagua Sophia very calmly and with so much less people inside. It was so good. But in Eyup Sultan which I visited almost after a year was little disappointing that main turbasi was closed but still I managed to say Fatia from masjid side.

        All this was made possible because of Adore Tours. Sinan is very professional he knew his to handle the traffic at right time and how to cut time without violating any rule. He had great knowledge of city. He also knew when you speak and when not to. I thoroughly enjoyed his company.

        Overall it was great experience.

        Our travel experience in Istanbul was hugely enhanced by the services of our excellent driver and tour guide, Sinan. He was prompt, informative, unfailingly cheerful and very sweet. We had jam-packed days that were made seamless by his expertise and detailed knowledge of the city. The transport was luxurious and well-stocked with welcome refreshments! Sinan took the stress and legwork out of all of our transportation so that we could just enjoy this beautiful city.

        We hired from this firm after reading the excellent feedback, we booked a seven hour private hire. From the moment Mr Hamza picked us up at the hotel he was very professional, asked for our preferences and he worked on a custom journey tailored to our needs. He even insisted to pay for coffees and ice cream. Nothing was too much asked. Thanks Mr Hamza we will be contacting your firm again as we truly enjoyed our day and the service.

        It was the best decision we made having a private driver to take us everywhere we
        wanted to go. HOWEVER, I'm sure I didn't do enough research to understand they do NOT speak any English so if your looking for a guide this it not the trip you would want to book. I will say though he could understand my written notes and brought us and picked us right when he told us he would and the van was very comfortable inside. Next time I would definelty hire a guide as well as a driver as not many people spoke English and we would have learned so much more if they would of. Great place to visit for sure!
