Istanbul layover

Melanie_M, Apr 2025

My driver was engaging, knowledgeable and made me feel at ease traveling alone. He took me to see my requested sights and shared so much history with me. It was easy to communicate with him about pick up and drop off for dinner. My only complaint was I requested an English speaker and his English was very limited but we communicated through Google translate.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hi dear guest madam Melanie.Thank you so much for nice comment.I'm so happy.Yes our drivers do not speak English very well. That's why we serve you via WhatsApp. If our customers are truly happy, I'm very happy too. I hope we can serve you again. Please save my phone number. When you come again, I will serve you with special prices. Hope to see you, goodbye. Deniz GÜNER IST VİP TRAVEL

Confusion at first but we got from point A to point B

Dennis_P, Oct 2024

It would have been helpful if the driver spoke English. A lot of confusion at the beginning since his sign was from Saw Travel and not Viator. Very clean car and even with the language problems the the driver was very professional.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hello dear customer. Thank you for your comment. But I'm really sorry about the score.Viatour is a worldwide company and works with many companies like us. And that's why local companies can only use their own name. Please any questions or help.for istanbul countact with me again. Thank you for like the car and driver services. Have a great day Deniz Güner Operation manager

Excellent Service

Noel_A, Sep 2024

Had a 9 hour layover in Istanbul and used this service to get around. Although it was a bit expensive it was very professional. The owner had great communication before we even arrived. Once there we followed simple instructions to where the drivers would be. Our driver did not speak English but had a great attitude and even tried using Google translate to communicate with us. The owner also called several times to give us tips and information on what we should Do. I would recommend this service.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hı dear our guest madam Noel . Thank you very much for the nice comment and score you gave us. It was a great experience for us to serve you. We hope to serve you again. I wish you a nice holiday. Hope to see you again. Deniz GÜNER Operation Manager

Miglena_S, Jun 2024

Our driver never arrived. It’s scam, the company in turkey never received our reservation, they just let us down and take our money.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Viator will refund your money in full within 3 days. I hope you will delete this comment after you receive your money. I say again, your reservation was not confirmed by us. That's why we did not send you a car. And we did not confirm it either. I hope you understand. Deniz GÜNER SAW TRAVEL Hı again madam .Your money has been full refunded.

Werner_O, Apr 2024

We had an English speaking driver. All were very helpful and provided information on the places we visited and made good recommendations. Would use them in a return trip to Istanbul.

Response from Host, May 2024

hı sir Werner good afternoon.Thank you very much for this nice comment.It was a great pleasure to serve you and your wife and to meet you. I hope we can serve you and your friends again. Please remember that you have a friend in Istanbul. Hope to see you again soon... Deniz Güner SAW TRAVEL AGENCY

Great service, very prompt.

Safat_K, Oct 2023

Driver was great, you'll need to communicate with operator on WhatsApp if you want to speak English. Operator was awesome and on top of the service though, no hiccups. No complaints on service at all. I'd recommend finding your own places to eat as their recommendations will be pricey.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hello again. Thank you very much for this nice information. Me and my staff were honored to serve you. Thank you very much. I hope to serve you again. Deniz GÜNER SAW TRAVEL

Hello sir. It was very nice to know and serve you. Thank you very much from you on behalf of my driver and myself.I hope to serve you again.I wish you a good day. Hope to see you again. Goodbye. Deniz GÜNER

Very poor communication

HansGeorg_F, May 2025

German language was desired. Offered was English and accepted by us. A mobile phone communication was made by translation. The driver made an effort. But a reasonable understanding could not take place. In this respect, the trip was not worth the money

Auto-translated

Response from Host, May 2025

Hallo, lieber Kunde. Ich habe dir gesagt, dass wir kein Deutsch sprechen. Ich habe auch gesagt, dass ich mit Englisch helfen würde. Ich habe Ihnen auch gesagt, dass Sie Ihre Reservierung stornieren können, wenn Sie möchten. Dies ist ein Autoservice mit Chauffeur. Sofern Sie keinen privaten Reiseführer engagieren, erhalten Sie den Service nur für die Stunde, in der Sie das Auto mieten. Also entschuldigen Sie mich bitte. Deniz Güner

Ottima scelta

Ester_S, Apr 2025

Soprassedendo su un'iniziale incomprensione circa l'effettivo costo del servizio richiesto, la scelta di affidarsi all'autista ed alla guida proposti si è rivelata perfetta. Efficienza e disponibilità da parte del driver ma soprattutto grande esperienza e professionalità da parte della guida proposta.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Grazie mille per averci scelto. Spero di servirti di nuovo. Spero di rivederti presto. Arrivederci. Deniz GÜNER IST VIP TRAVEL AGENCY

Recorrido de lugares turísticos en la parte asiática de Estambul con vehículo y chofer privado

Geraldine_E, Sep 2024

El conductor del monovan nos recogió muy puntual en el hotel. No hablaba inglés así que la forma de comunicación fue a traves del traductor sumultáneo de Google, y las pocas palabras de turco que yo sé. Nos llevó a los puntos de interés que le pedimos, nos esperaba en los sitios, y por último le pedimos que nos dejara en el aeropuerto del lado europeo de la ciudad. El vehículo era cómodo.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hola señor Geraldine , buenas tardes. Muchas gracias por su valioso tiempo y sus maravillosas palabras para compartir esta maravillosa reseña en Trip Advisor. Me alegra saber que está satisfecho con nuestros vehículos y nuestro conductor. Gracias por elegirnos y estoy seguro de que mi equipo ha disfrutado de su servicio tanto como usted. Esperamos poder servirle nuevamente en Estambul. Deniz GÜNER İST VİP SERVİCES
