Premium & VIP Travel, Simplified

One Page, Every Premium Service — See It, Price It, Book It

The History Travel already introduces who we are and our protocol-level, diplomatic and corporate work on our VIP & Protocol Travel Services page. This page exists for a narrower, more practical reason: to lay out our premium service menu with real starting prices, and let you request a quote or reserve directly, in one place.

Every service below — private touring, chauffeured transfers, Bosphorus yacht charters, event organization and corporate logistics — is delivered by the same Istanbul-based team, using our own licensed guides and vehicles rather than a resold third-party package. That direct relationship is what lets us quote honestly and respond quickly.

If your trip involves official, diplomatic or embassy-level coordination specifically, our protocol services page linked above goes into that in more depth; the inquiry form on this page reaches the same team either way.

Services & Starting Prices

A dedicated guide and vehicle for your party alone, with an itinerary built around your interests and free to adjust on the day.

Booking Guidance

Notes for Getting the Best Quote, Fastest

Practical points that help us send a precise proposal on the first reply, instead of going back and forth.

Give exact dates, not just a month

Vehicle and guide availability is date-specific, especially April–October. Exact dates let us confirm real availability rather than a provisional price.

Share your group size upfront

Private per-day pricing and small-group per-person pricing diverge quickly — tell us your numbers so we can quote both where relevant.

List any must-see sites or add-ons

A yacht charter, a specific museum, or a celebration dinner changes the itinerary and the price — flag it in the message field so nothing is missed in your first quote.

Use WhatsApp for fast back-and-forth

Once your first quote arrives, WhatsApp is usually faster than email for adjusting timing or adding a stop before you confirm.

An Agency Run By Guides, Not a Call Center

The History Travel was built by people who have driven the roads and walked the sites we sell. When you request a quote through this page, a member of our own Istanbul team writes it — not a template, and not a reseller marking up someone else's itinerary.

That is also why our pricing above is honest rather than a "from €0" teaser: these are the ranges real bookings run, so what you see is close to what you will pay.
