About us
Aigis Tour focuses on customized culture, pilgrimage, walking and city tours. Through our expertise, we are able to take into account the smallest details to make our trips a real experience for our guests.
Good hotels and buses are a matter of course in our trips. Through our experience as tour guides we know very well that for the success of a trip a competent tour guide is the most important factor. Our team consists of tour guides who have an excellent career, good character traits and extensive knowledge. This is our special strength.
We always try to see and evaluate the situation from the eyes of our guests. This enables us to realize a smooth operation in our trips. We make every effort to establish contact with the local people as well. Depending on the content and course of the trip, we incorporate planned or spontaneous encounters with the people or institutions that leave serious impressions on the participants.
We are happy to respond to the wishes of our partners and create tailor-made programs for them. We would like to make you a non-binding offer for a Türkiye tour and look forward to working with you!
