What our guests say
I had an absolutely positive experience in Turkey booking a custom trip with Runner Tourism. Mert organized an excellent itinerary for our group of six friends which included the highlights in Istanbul, Ephesus and Cappadocia. Mert and Mehmet were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and delightful as our guides.
Mert was an absolute delight: knowledgeable, flexible, charming, conscientious, reliable with a great sense of humour. Every minute detail was flawlessly arranged. When we parted, I felt I was saying goodbye to a very special friend.
We went on a tour with Mert in Istanbul. Not only was he friendly and personable but he was an amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the city and history, and helped arrange every detail from our arrival at the airport.

Three decades of guest letters
Truly a blessing to have travelled with Runner Tourism. I cannot recommend our guide Mert enough. I consider him a dear friend after such a beautiful journey.
This was hands-down the best trip of my life, a twelve-day gulet cruise with a land extension to Cappadocia. I have done many guided vacations, and Cemil has been the best of the guides.
We loved the whole trip, one of the most rewarding we have ever taken. The mostly boutique hotels were terrific and the food was wonderful. An unforgettable experience.
