How TourThese is different
TourThese is a small, founder-led operator in Istanbul. Group buses, fixed marketplace scripts and faceless reservation portals are the opposite of what we do.

Your route is shaped over WhatsApp before you arrive — pace, pickup, food stops, photo stops — not pulled from a marketplace template.
Reserve direct with TourThese (TURSAB #18704). EUR pricing is transparent and there is no third-party platform fee.
Every guide is fluent in English and carries the official Turkey guide license. Itinerary updates happen on the same WhatsApp thread.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour starts. Plans change in travel — the booking is built to bend with them.
Tufan Albaycan
Licensed Turkish tour operator · Tufan Albaycan Seyahat Acentası
Founder · Istanbul, since founding
TourThese began as a small private guiding practice in Sultanahmet. Today it runs private tours across Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale — each one shaped on WhatsApp before the traveller lands.
No two tours look alike. A morning that begins inside Hagia Sophia might end in a backstreet meyhane in Karaköy. A Cappadocia day can pivot from balloon disappointment into a private photo route at sunrise. The plan is the conversation; the guide is the author.
Real traveller reviews
We don't hand-pick what to show. Each review below is pulled from a public profile — follow the link to read every rating, including the ones we wish were better.
Tufan picked us up from our hotel exactly on time and tailored the route around what we wanted to see. We skipped the crowds at Hagia Sophia thanks to his timing and ended the day with a quiet rooftop tea. Easily the best day of our trip.
We asked TourThese to focus on Ottoman architecture and food. Our guide rewrote the standard itinerary and took us to two neighbourhood spots most marketplaces miss. Communication on WhatsApp was instant from booking through drop-off.
Best private tour we have done in Europe. Tufan's English is excellent and he genuinely loves Istanbul — that comes through in every stop. The Bosphorus sunset cruise add-on at the end was the cherry on top.
Wir hatten begrenzte Zeit zwischen zwei Flügen und TourThese hat eine perfekte 6-Stunden-Route gebaut. Pünktlich, freundlich, sehr professionell. Sehr empfehlenswert.
Reviews mirror two public profiles. We sync them carefully — no fake glow.
