Best decision of our trip!

Can’t thank mrs Feyza for a great day with so much delicious food tasting and delightful chats about Turkish cuisine and culture! Our little group with people that were from USA and England were so friendly and we all felt really comfortable with Feyzas guiding! Highly recommended!

Perfect!

Feyza was an excellent tour guide. Her knowledge and expertise of the food in Instanbul is unmatched! I casually mentioned to her we were thinking about going to Ephesus while we were in Turkey and she told me she could get us some quotes. She did, we went and it was amazing! They were always available to answer our questions. When we come back to the area they are going to be our first call!

As always, True Blue Tour delivers the best experience!

True Blue Tour was our travel tour company when my family first visited Turkey in March 2023. We had such an awesome experience so when we had a layover of 15 hours on this trip, I contacted them again to arrange a private layover tour of the sites we have missed before. As expected, we had an amazing time with our very warm and attentive guide (Feyza) who made sure we make the most of a rainy day in Istanbul. She also took us to a Turkish eatery where we enjoyed hearty local meal! Plus, she takes GREAT photos, making it still look magical, despite our umbrellas and the drizzle! We’ve learned that they have expanded to other destinations as well, so we are surely booking our next travel with them to Egypt and Saudi Arabia!

Wonderful Turkey Vacation

Our family had such a great time in Turkey. We absolutely love its history, culture, charm and great food. True Blue Tours took really good care of us since our day 1 in Turkey. They were so efficient and accomodating. We are very happy with their service. Special shout out to Eyup who was extra patient with us and was more than willing to take gazillion photos of our fam. 😀
