Description
Explore Istanbul at your own pace with this 8-hour private minivan and driver service on the European side of Istanbul. This service is perfect for travelers who prefer flexibility, comfort, and privacy without the constraints of a fixed tour itinerary. You’ll have a modern, air-conditioned minivan with a professional driver, allowing you to move freely between neighborhoods, attractions, meetings, or shopping areas throughout the day. The price includes vehicle rental, driver service, fuel, parking fees, and highway tolls, so there are no hidden costs. This service is designed for groups of up to 5 passengers. If you wish to enhance your experience, a professional licensed tour guide can be arranged at an additional cost. Asian side (Anatolian side) of Istanbul can also be added to the program for an extra fee, still within the 8-hour duration. For groups larger than 5 people, please contact us in advance so we can arrange a suitable vehicle.
