I had a fabulous visit to Istanbul thanks to Brit & Berat and my fabulous guide Koray! As a solo female traveler going to Istanbul for the first time, I was a bit nervous. I wanted to have a guide with me to help me navigate the city, communicate with locals and learn a bit along the way. I also liked the idea of having transportation arranged as well.
The drivers showed up at my hotel on time and were professional. The cars were clean and always had water and snacks.
My guide, Koray, was an absolute gem. He was with me for both of my tour days, and made my time in Istanbul memorable and fun. His love and knowledge of Istanbul was evident in the quality of the tour. He was a pleasure to be around as well as a wealth of information. He added more depth to my knowledge of the city and history and I got to enjoy my first Turkish coffee in the Grand Bazaar (thanks Koray). If I have the privilege of returning to Istanbul, I will book with them again.

Thank you for an amazing experience touring the mosques, cistern and hippodrome and our guide, Sam was absolutely outstanding! Berat stopped by our group to say hello and thank us for booking with them; could not recommend this tour company more highly …5 stars!

Perfect way to spend a day in Istanbul
I'm confident that if you book a tour with Yakuphan, you will not be disappointed.
Our day started with pickup from our hotel before visiting the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Hagia Sophia. Throughout the day, Yakuphan shared an incredible amount of information about Istanbul’s architecture, history, culture, and people. We also stopped for food, coffee, and a couple of special attractions along the way, which made the experience feel much more personal than a standard sightseeing tour.
What stood out most was Yakuphan’s patience and depth of knowledge. He took the time to answer all of our questions and clearly has a genuine passion for Istanbul and its history. I probably only retained a fraction of everything he shared, but I left wanting to research more on my own, which I think says a lot about the quality of a guide.
My wife made the booking, and she absolutely hit it out of the park. Brit & Berat was a great choice, and Yakuphan is a one-of-a-kind guide. You’ll leave knowing far more about Istanbul than when you started, while also realizing just how much more there is to learn.
Thank you to the entire team, and especially Yakuphan, for a wonderful and memorable experience.

So grateful to have found Brit and Berat for our trip to Istanbul!
We had the absolute BEST experience with Brit and Berat in Istanbul! From start to finish, they made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable - especially traveling as a large group with kids.
Every ride was incredibly punctual and seamless, which took so much stress out of getting around, and to and from the airport. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us such a wonderful experience seeing Istanbul’s main sites. And the hamam experience they arranged for me and my girlfriend was truly unforgettable—we will remember it forever!
Having someone we could rely on for transportation, tours, and logistics meant we could relax and actually enjoy our time together instead of worrying about the details.
I am SO grateful we found Brit and Berat and would recommend them to anyone visiting Istanbul. If you’re on the fence about booking with them, don’t be....hire them immediately! You will be so glad you did. 🇹🇷❤️

Think a private tour isn't for you, think again!
Best decision ever! So glad we booked not only airport transfers but also a private tour with Brit and Berat. Our guide, Deniz was absolutely precious! Wish you guys were in more countries! Thanks for making our trip such a success!

All expectations met!
The plan was to arrive at the Istanbul Airport in the middle of the night after a long flight so having a trusted driver waiting to take us to our hotel was important. Brit (and Berate) popped up on FB so after some comparison shopping, decided to try them for Airport roundtrip transfers. We also booked a city tour the next day. With our booking we got excellent instructions with pictures and easily met our driver. Nice private van with water (thanks Alex). Right to our hotel. Whew. The next day our car and guide arrived promptly at our hotel and off we went for the day. The tour was perfect and Deniz was amazing. Educational, fun and low key (Just our speed)... Got our steps in seeing the important sights, ate a traditional Turkish lunch, AND got our shopping on! (smile). Finally, trip back to the airport on our final day was easy, on time, and with a familiar face! I highly recommend Brit and Berat for great experiences and peace of mind. Super happy I found them and would do it again.

Brit & Berat are the best
I found Brit & Berat on facebook of all places!! Did a little research and decided to use them for our 4-day stop over in Istanbul following our African Safari. What a great find!!! Easy pick up from the airport (they even waited at least 45 minutes because one person in our party of 6 had some issues getting through customs). We had 3 jammed packed days of touring with a guide who knew so much and was eager to share his knowledge and proud to show us this amazing city. Their restaurant recommendations were top notch and they brought us to the most wonderful place to buy hand woven Turkish carpets from the sweetest guy who owns the most esteemed store in Istanbul. I cannot have imagined a better experience.

Excellent experience!
Brit and Berat made planning for this trip so easy. They took our wish list and turned it into a wonderful, stress-free experience in Istanbul. They patiently answered all my questions in a timely manner during the planning process. Their guide for how to navigate the airport and find the driver were spot-on and very helpful. All the arrangements for transportation and guide services were seamlessly delivered as promised in the itinerary. Our guide, Deniz, was friendly and enthusiastic and knowledgeable. His assistance with shopping and restaurant selections was invaluable. Berat took the time to find our group and introduce himself. First class service all the way. I highly recommend using the services of Brit and Berat for your trip to Istanbul.
