Money Well Spent: FAROUT TURIZM Turned Our Istanbul Dream into Reality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
chikeo574,Dec 21, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00FAROUT TURIZM LIMITED ŞİRKETİ gave my family an absolutely unforgettable and flawless experience in Istanbul! We traveled as a family of four, including an infant and a toddler, and from the very first moment to the last, everything was perfectly curated with care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. Right from arrival on TK290, the welcome was seamless and stress-free. We were greeted at Exit 14 with a clear “WELCOME TO TURKEY” board, and our representative was easy to spot holding an iPad with my name, Mr. Chike Okeke. The private transfer to the beautiful Armada Hotel was smooth, and the entire process felt thoughtful and reassuring—especially with little ones in tow. Over the four days, FAROUT designed the perfect mix of history, relaxation, and family-friendly fun: • Day 1 took us through Istanbul’s historic gems: the breathtaking Blue Mosque, the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia, the fascinating Hippodrome, and the vibrant chaos of the Grand Bazaar—guided privately at a pace that worked perfectly for us. • Day 2 included a relaxing morning followed by a scenic Bosphorus cruise in the afternoon—a highlight for capturing beautiful family photos while gliding between two continents. • Day 3 was pure joy for the kids (and us adults too!): Miniatürk’s incredible miniature landmarks, a visit to the Asian side with a modern mall for dining and downtime, and the spectacular Istanbul Aquarium—an underwater wonder that left everyone mesmerized. Every transfer was exceptional, but the ride back to the airport on Day 5 truly stood out. The luxurious, spacious van was top-notch—complete with heating, great music, and plenty of room for the kids to stay comfortable and entertained. It removed every bit of travel stress and let us simply enjoy the moment. A very special thank you to Persem Ozcan Tek—her patience, kindness, and dedication made all the difference. She went above and beyond to ensure our little ones were happy and that we all felt cared for throughout the trip. Yes, we wish we’d chosen a slightly warmer time of year weather-wise, but that’s on us—not the experience! Istanbul in December was still magical, and FAROUT TURIZM made every moment count. This agency is a truly trusted and outstanding brand. Every lira was money incredibly well spent. If you’re planning a trip to Turkey—especially with family—look no further than FAROUT TURIZM. They don’t just organize tours; they create cherished memories with heart and excellence. Highly, wholeheartedly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Farout Turkey’s exceptional customer service for both land and sea excursions…

5.00Loved our wonderful tour excursions in Istanbul and Ephasus. Our guides were knowledgeable and communicated very well. The highlight of our Turkey travels was exploring the Mediterranean on a gulet boat cruise with only seven passengers and three crew members. Farout Turkey’s customer service is exceptional. Abdurrahim was always available and responsive via WhatsApp to answer questions and provide logistic information. When we return to Turkey we will continue to utilize Farout Turkey for our travel needs.
Worth the experience, glad to have gone!

5.00The tour was fantastic, giving us a real glimpse into what Ancient Ephesus was like and a traditional Turkish lunch. Some minor pressure to purchase from the leather goods and carpet stores, but they were still fascinating locations to visit and learn more about the modern culture.
Great , knowledgeable Tour guide

5.00So grateful to Far Out Turkey for organising a tour for us so last minute. Sedar was a fantastic guide and engaged our teenage children and made the experience so much more meaningful and interesting with his explanations of the site. Very grateful to have had him as our guide and to the Far Out Turkey team for helping us with such short notice. Visiting Ephesus was a trip highlight!
