BEST tour we have ever had! History, fun and friendship!

5.00Brit and Berat tours are PERFECT! Coming from the one who always plans the travel and trips, I wanted this trip to be wonderful, but I wanted to enjoy! As a first time to Turkey visitor, I needed someone else to be the expert! What a gift this tour! It’s so much more than a tour! Koray was our guide and the shuttle pick up was seemless! Koray taught us so much about Old town and Turkey, but moreover he was chill and someone I would like to be friends with! He took his time, got to know us and answered more questions we thought possible! These guys are a class act- it will be the best part of Istanbul for you!
Definitely Recommend!!

5.00If you are visiting Istanbul, you must reach out to Brit and Berat. It was an amazing experience working with them. Our tour guide Koray is a great asset to their team. We have visited the city in the past, but didn’t know where to go or the best way to get there. We are so thankful we found Brit and Berat. This visit Istanbul was educational as we learned about history of the city. It was relaxing as we didn’t have to stress figuring out which tours or places to visit or not visit. It has been memorable as we have met wonderful people and visited the most beautiful places. They are truly experts and I highly recommend.
Fabulous Day in Istanbul.

5.00Our day with Jacob could not have gone better. We explored the Hagia Sophia, the Roman Cistern, the Blue Mosque and did a little shopping. Jacob was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He went out of his way to point out things we might have missed. But more than that he watched the lines and tried to keep our wait times as short as possible, as one member of our party had a bad knee. You cannot go wrong booking with Brit and Berat. They coordinated all our transportation and everything was first class. I highly recommend them you will not be disappointed.
Magical Istanbul

5.00We were introduced to Brit And Berat’s Service through an Instagram post. It was most helpful that we knew the sites we wanted to see during two unplanned days. They were accommodating and sent a wonderful tour guide (Koray) and a great driver. Our experience was above and beyond as our tour guide-knew all the history, took us to the places we wanted to see, was kind, aware of the fact that we are not young anymore, and took us at a pace we could navigate. The bonus was an end of each tour day visit with Berat, who made sure that everything we wanted to do had been accomplished and then sharing his favorite rooftop view of Istanbul. As corny as it sounds, the beauty of it brought me to tears.
Fantastic time with a custom tour!

5.00Koray took me to camlica mosque, beylerbeyi palace, and kuzguncuk neighborhood. We had a blast. He explained everything I could think to ask and more. I highly recommend him and the services of Brit and Berat.

5.00We had a wonderful experience on our tour! Both Koray and Berat were extremely kind and welcoming to our family of 5, including 3 active kids. We learned so much on the tour and they made it so easy to navigate everything. I highly recommend booking with them!
