Highlights Tour of Istanbul.

Gökhan was a great guide to share his passionate knowledge of the amazing sites of Istanbul. His manner and communication made our experience of the Turkish history and culture very meaningful. In two short days we have become very aware of the rich culture developed over centuries.

Day1 of our planning till the day we left Turkey was patient, graceful and knowledgeable enough to consider all are demands and queries.Htr tours came up with a best iternary as per our needs.They planned organised and executed the tour with no room fir complaints from our side.will recommend htrtours to all who want to visit Turkey

Even the guides mr gokhan ( serves as guide in cappadocia) ms Fatima (Antalya), Mr Mert( Euphesus), Ms Dimple( Antalya)and mr Emir ( Istanbul) were too good in their job.Guides can make or break the tour.They made the tour a truly memorable one.

Out trip to Turkey

We spent 10 days in Turkey. Meliha and the Htr team were absolutely a delight to work with. Every need (from airport meet to the actual tours themselves) was looked into making the tour stress free and most enjoyable. Thank you Htr for making this trip memorable.
