An excellent private tour by Neon Tours. Our guide, Ozcan (a university professor), was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The pacing was perfect and with the tranfers and lunch provided, this really was the best (and most reasonable) way to see the main sights of Istanbul. I followed previous reviewers and declined the visits to the spice and rug shops. Skip the Grand Bazaar (a most disappointing maze of knock-off merchandise) and shop down the local streets which have many charming quality items you actually do want to buy.

It is rare that the name fits exactly the people you meet, and this is what happened to us (mother with two daughters) when we took a very last minute decision to do a school spring break tour in Turkey, inspired by books of Troy and Greek mythology that my kids were reading. Hassle Free Travel is run by an incredible family: we were served by the young, bright & friendly sister and brother Ezgi & Ozgur who organised everything for us: transport in the most comfortable van, budget accommodation in most convenient locations and most importantly, a top-notch guide Erjan who is an absolute treasure of information for old and modern Turkey (including ancient Greece & Anatolia) - basically a google search in human form. This team arranged a private tour for our family and were flexible to change & adapt to our needs. The travels were far more Covid-safe than I imagined before I left, in the end I got the feeling we would be more exposed to Covid if we stayed home than in this tour. I have never met travel agents who were more disciplined and most friendly human being at the same time. This is no accident though: this company has been doing Gallipoli tours since 1970s when Ezgi's and Ozgur's dad first established the company so the dad covered the transport to and from Istanbul airport for us. On top of it, this company (largely through the most wanted guide) has a seriously specialised knowledge of Ancient Greek places which no one should die before visiting. My kids and I enjoyed an incredibly reasonably priced private tour of Canakkale, Troy, Ephesus, Pergamon, Dydymus, Priene, Miletus, Temple of Artemis (one of the seven wonders of the world), Isa Bey Mosque in Selcuk, Virgin Mary House, Troy & Ephesus Museums & village of Sirince. There is something mystical about doing these places in times of Covid, you get to experience lots of places intimately, and you get private tours that you would, in other circumstances have to share with many others! I must say, I was most impressed how our driver and guide never ever removed the anti-covid masque from their faces! We feel humbled and privileged we got to travel with the Hassle Free Travel team, I would hire them again and invite them to my house also!

Extremely disappointing experience with this company. After multiple mail exchanges and a WRITTEN confirmation, they simply pulled a ‘no show’. Waited for 40 minutes this morning for the guide for the day to arrive and after finally reaching the company by phone they claimed ‘we were not sure if you really wanted to book......’ Can only recommend to use others, this outfit is not serious.

I have used the services of Turista Travel previously on my trips to Turkey. This time I wished to have a personal experience in the old city. Davut assisted me to organise a full day private tour of the old city. I must say the guide was excellent and I have a great day. As always their service was friendly, efficient and reasonably priced. Thank you Turista for your excellent service.
