Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a shared group tour?
No. This is a private tour. You do not join another group; our Arabic-speaking guide shows only your guests around.
Are prices per person?
No. The price is not per person; it is based on the tour day and planned exclusively for your group . Usually, up to 8 guests are covered by a single price. Larger groups require a broader plan.
Is your Arabic-speaking tour guide licensed?
Yes. We work with licensed tourist guides.
Where is the meeting point?
The default meeting point is German Fountain (Sultanahmet). We can also arrange to meet in your hotel lobby or at the airport.
How many guests can a chauffeured Vito accommodate?
A Vito is generally most comfortable for 1–6 guests . For more than 6 guests , especially with luggage, we recommend a Sprinter for greater comfort.
How many guests can a Sprinter accommodate, and does luggage affect capacity?
A Sprinter is more comfortable for larger groups. Capacity depends on the number of guests and amount of luggage . Please include both in your booking request.
How many guests can a private yacht tour accommodate?
Most yacht tours accommodate up to 12 guests . This is also a private tour, not a shared group tour — the yacht is reserved for your guests only.
Can a city tour and yacht cruise take place on the same day?
Yes. A popular itinerary is: pickup → city tour → private Bosphorus yacht cruise at sunset. We coordinate the timing as one itinerary.
For an Arabic-speaking guide, clarify Arabic/Latin meeting details, group pace, and route priorities together
One practical operational gain with an Arabic-speaking guide is not leaving key meeting and program information in only one writing system. When an Arabic message also keeps the location's Latin-script name and map pin, the guide, driver, hotel, and on-site teams can verify the same place more easily. Add family/group size, children/older guests, and walking pace to the booking brief together with the guiding language.
Alongside the Arabic description, keeping the hotel's/location's official or common Latin-script name and map link makes location matching easier between the guide, driver, and reception.
The same group of eight could be a family with children, older guests, or fast-walking adults. Break frequency, stairs/walking load, and meal timing change route intensity.
If a vehicle, tickets, meals, or yacht experience is requested, confirm their duration and included/excluded scope as separate items. Choosing a language does not automatically put other suppliers into the package.
Service boundary
Which service page should own each need?

Put the exact meeting point, end-of-day point, total duration, and priority visits in the same plan.
- 4 Separate fixed times and extra services

Be careful when comparing quotesThe same language does not mean the same scope
- Professional Arabic-Speaking Tour Guide is for city touring, cultural narration, and guest communication. Airport transfer or chauffeured vehicle is a separate transportation intent; specialist interpreting for a business meeting/fair is also a different task. Written route, admission scope, and transportation items should be made explicit in the quote.
- Professional tourist-guide minimum fees are announced each year by service type; confirm in writing whether a quote covers a tour, transfer, night tour, or package tour.
- Do not assume museum/site tickets, vehicle, meals, yacht, or similar items are included in guiding fees unless the quote states them explicitly.
It was a wonderful Istanbul tour, very enjoyable and full of useful information. Many thanks to our guide Ms. Elif and to Mr. Yunus Emre, who organized the tour.
