Tour Pictures from Travelers
We enjoyed excellent services from Azure Turizm last month March /2021 in Istanbul. They arranged the Bosphorus cruise tour, Princes Islands Tour, and Bursa Tour. I found very impressive services in terms of transportation, highly professional guide, and Quality lunch /dinner. All the staff was capable of communicating in English. The C.E.O of the Azure Turizm is very cooperative, friendly, and accommodative for the tourist. In gist, I can say that we had a very exciting experience of our life while getting services of Azure Turizm Thanks for the excellent services!
