"We booked a private customized tour with a guide and had a marvelous day with Brit & Berat tours. From the pick up to the drop off everything is handled with care with total focus to the clients requests. First class from beginning to end. Our guide Mr. Koray was the best, very knowledgeable and easy going with a lovely sense of humor."
"We had a private Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, shopping tour with the wonderful Guide Yakup (Jacob). He was sooo good, let us take our time, had no pressure, took us to the best places and taught us so much! This is more than just a shopping trip, you get history, experiences, and no stress!"
"Excellent communications from start to finish. Immaculately clean vehicles and responsible drivers made our journey pleasant. I highly recommend Brit and Berat for your transportation needs. I would not hesitate to use them if I ever get back to Istanbul!"
"We used their transport service from the airport to our hotel which was helpful. We met Berat while we were on a walking tour, and he assisted us in getting around and into the three main sites. He was friendly and invited us back to his store."
"We unfortunately had yucky weather most of the time we were here, but Berat and the other guide, Attila, made sure we did not miss a thing. We would have never seen so much without their guidance, patience and willingness to take us anywhere and everywhere. Berat took us rug shopping and to 2 of his favorite lunch spots, both delicious."
"Excellent airport transfer service in Istanbul. The driver was on time, professional, and very friendly, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The vehicle was spotless and comfortable, and the service overall felt dependable and well-organized."
"I can not express enough how highly I recommend the services offered by Brit & Berat. Especially for those 1st & 2nd time visitors to Turkey. If you've ever questioned whether or not you should visit Turkey for unfamiliarity reasons, put all that to rest and just contact Brit & Berat."
