Let us repeat the advantages of having a tour or an shore excursion with I&G:

Our Private Tours are individual, authentic, local and real. Even if we know that  anyone else already offers "Private Tours Istanbul", off and on the beaten track we claim to be different in these essential ways of doing it:

Our Tours are big on discovery and small on size. We have a group tour maximum of just 14 people per guide-and our average group size is 8.You deserve the possible best attention. It's the only way to get all of your questions answered, your individual interests catered to, and your experience as personalized as possible. 

Our prices are transparent. You won't have any extra costs or little "surprises" on the day of the tour. We promise and guarentee it.  We tour away from the classic printed guidebooks. Yes, we do all of the must-see sites-and you should, too! But we also visit those off-the-beaten-path jewels that we promise will make your trip a lifetime experience to Turkey. 

Our guides are fluent English speakers, and we do only English tours. That means not only that you will understand your guide perfectly you will be able to get answers without loosing time.

On our tours you will not be confronted with a surprising shop visit unless you explicitly asked for it and you want to !
