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.

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.
