How TourThese is different

Private Turkey trips, planned by a real human, not a marketplace algorithm.

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.

Founder · Istanbul, since founding

"I've been guiding Istanbul long enough to know what tires travellers — and what stays in their photos."

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.
