If you will
be visiting Turkey with a cruise ship you will most certainly
want to take advantage of the wonderful private shore excursions
we offer. While the cruise companies organize people into large
groups of 30 to 40 and herd them through the sights in order to
take them shopping. Tayf Tours offers a refreshing alternative,
for a better price you can see the sights on a private personalized
tour. We also offer altenatives to the average tour. If you have
already seen what the cruise ships have to offer, we can show
you a different side of Turkey. We offer Village Life tours that
give you the opportunity to see traditional Turkish villages and
the way the people of Turkey live.
We offer the following Shore
Excursions from Kuşadası and Istanbul.
