Öykü was dedicated to create a personalized tour that met our specific needs. She searched for the right tour sequence across three different cities (Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Ephesus). Öykü created a VIP experience with knowledgeable guides in Spanish and coordinated additional details to include last minute requests from us. She was always available and in contact through WhatsApp giving us confidence and reminding us where to be and at what time. This was a dream trip for all the family.
OAK Tours (Tours of You) were amazing from start to finish. Hayal responded to my original request and set up the perfect tour for me and my extended family. Throughout these initial stages the communication from Hayal was perfect and this continued until after the tour was complete. We loved the driver and guide that were provided and they consistently went above and beyond e.g. organising a private boat for us to celebrate my wife’s birthday even after the tour was over. The guide was very knowledgeable and all of the logistics- pick ups, drop offs, accommodation- were smooth. I highly recommend this company. Having originally spoken with others when planning our holiday, I would only ever use OAK and especially Hayal to plan my next trip.
My experience with tourofyou was quite pleasant. They were impressively efficient in executing our agreed itinerary and communicated every step clearly and without confusion. Oyku, who was my contact person was beyond fantastic. I am generally happy I used them to manage my itinerary throughout my stay in Istanbul. The only issue I had was I could not reschedule a tour of the Palace which I cancelled due to weather. I would hope in the future they can figure how to be a bit more flexible due to unforseen issues. However, I will still give them 5 stars and not hesitate to recommend them to others.
An outstanding, flawlessly organized trip from start to finish. Every detail was handled seamlessly, making the journey through Turkey completely stress-free and deeply enjoyable. Our travel advisor, Hayal, did an exceptional job designing an itinerary that balanced iconic sights, unique experiences, and smooth travel between cities. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive, bringing each destination - Ephesus, Cappadocia, and Istanbul—to life in a meaningful way. The drivers were professional, punctual, and made every transfer comfortable and effortless. The hotel staff at each stop were warm, welcoming, and attentive, adding an extra layer of comfort and care to the experience. From the iconic caves to the private Bosphorus cruise, every moment felt thoughtfully curated. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a truly memorable and well-executed travel experience.
Tours of You was a great choice for our trip to Turkey, and an affordable one too. We worked with Oyku, who helped us design a trip across Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, and Bodrum that we loved. She found excellent guides for us (Doğuş Coşar in Istanbul, Ezgi in Cappadocia), designed good itineraries, and arranged comfortable transport (particularly with Enes in Cappadocia) in each location. She was also incredibly responsive, seemingly at all hours of the day. We would highly recommend Tours of You to anyone looking for an affordable, comfortable trip to Turkey.
We had a wonderful custom 2-day tour of Cappadocia with Toursofyou. Hayal did a great job arranging everything and was very responsive when I needed questions answered. Serkan was one of the best guides I've ever had. Very, very knowledgeable and a great guy to spend a couple of days with. My wife and I had a great time and will recommend Cappadocia and Toursofyou to everyone we talk to about this.
We give Tour of Turkey and Öykü our highest recommendation. She planned a special tour for us that included a visit to Karamursel, where we were married and lived for 18 months. We also had a guided tour of Dolmabahce Palace and a ferry to one of the beautiful islands. All the planning and execution were seamless. Communication was always prompt and our questions were always answered. We were so pleased that we found a company and individual willing and able to fulfill a life long dream.
