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

"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.

What is TourThese?

TourThese is a TURSAB-licensed travel agency (#18704) run by founder-guide Tufan Albaycan, offering private, licensed-guide tours across Turkey — Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale. Every itinerary is planned one-to-one with you over WhatsApp rather than booked through a marketplace, so the route, pace and start time are built around your group instead of a fixed timetable. Tours are priced transparently in euros with no third-party booking fees, and you talk directly with the licensed guide before and during your trip. Whether you want a single day in Istanbul's old city or a multi-stop journey across the country, you message TourThese, agree the plan, and travel privately with a guide who knows the sites first-hand.

How do I book a tour with TourThese?

You plan and confirm your tour one-to-one over WhatsApp. Message TourThese with your dates and interests, the licensed guide proposes an itinerary, and once you agree the plan you receive a clear EUR price with no marketplace fees.

Are TourThese guides licensed?

Yes. TourThese is a TURSAB-licensed travel agency (#18704) and tours are led by licensed local guides, including founder-guide Tufan Albaycan.

Are the tours private or group tours?

All TourThese tours are private. Your itinerary, pace and start time are arranged around your own group rather than shared with strangers on a fixed schedule.

How are tours priced?

Tours are priced transparently in euros (EUR) and arranged directly with TourThese, so there are no third-party marketplace booking fees added on top.
