The first part of the tour was great. Ephesus was spectacular, and our guide was pretty knowledgeable. The final stop of tour was supposed to be a tour of a "school" that teaches young girls from the countryside how to make rugs so they can be self sustaining. We asked our guide if this was going to be a rug... More

In October 2012 we took a tour with Byzas Tours from Istanbul to Cappadocia. It was amazing; they picked us up, delivered us several times, all on time and with a friendly competent manner. We had a private tour to Devrent and Monk’s Valley, Avanos, Goreme Open Air Museum and our tour was excellent and so was our tour guide,... More

We used this company to book both a private tour of Ephesus and a Private Yacht Cruise while vacationing in Istanbul. There was a total of 5 family members, one of which was our 6 year old daughter. All of our communication took place via email and it was effortless. As soon as I would contact them, within minutes there... More

We took this private tour to Gallipoli after reading the reviews on tripadvisor and we are so glad we did. We considered taking a bus tour which was a lot cheaper than the private tour but we believe that we got a lot more out of the day this way. As everyone says it is a looong way from Istanbul... More

A tour of Istanbul for our group of ten persons with Byzas tours was a full 10 hour day with an excellent guide on an air conditioned Mercedes mini bus. The tour was well priced and the cost was more economical than those offered by the cruise line. Our private 2 hour “Zoe Yacht” cruise of the Bosphorus Strait including... More

We took a cruise on the 23rd of December and had a lovely time. The boat is beautiful and we had no issues whatsoever getting picked up and taken to her. Loved our cruise, wish it would have lasted longer. Stunning views of the bosphorus and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking for something special to do in... More

Before traveling to Istanbul, four of us decided to take a side trip to Ephesus. After reading several reviews for different tour groups, I decided to contact Byzas Tours. I contacted them by email asking for prices for this one day excursion. They responded within twenty-four hours and in no time our side trip was all arranged. They did an... More
