Careful Planning
We plan each itinerary as if it were our own vacation. We’re travelers too, and we know how important
the pace of a vacation is. We match hotels to your style and choose modes of transportation that
maximize your sightseeing experience as well as your comfort. We carefully plan our programs to ensure
you have enough time at each stop to see the sights and have leisure time to relax and enjoy yourself.
Breakfast is included daily, but most other meals are on your own so you are able to try local specialities
and choose from the huge variety of restaurants.
More Flexibility
Our tours are designed with maximum flexibility in mind. You'll see that many tours offer two and even three levels of
accommodation. But our trips offer even more flexibility. We can mix and match accommodation tiers within
the same program. Once your Tour Consultant knows what you would like to do and your budget, we 'll help
you to put together a trip of the best possible value.
It's Included
There are no hidden surprises with Danytur. Internal flights are included in our
tour prices. Once we have confirmed your custom tour and received your advance deposit,
your trip is guaranteed to operate.

About the founders
Sina Danyal originally worked for the biggest destination management and bus company in
Turkey (partly owned and managed by his uncle) for 14 years between 1976 and 1990. He knew travel was
his destiny and started working at this company at the age of 15 while still in the 9th grade as a
transfer assistant. Later, he also worked as a day-tour guide, program manager, and as the
Operations Manager during his twelve years in Istanbul and also as an assistant area manager
in Antalya for two. He loved the travel business and meeting people from all over the world
and hosting and helping them while they were visiting Turkey. He was proud to make his guests
ambassadors of Turkey, and this pride is stil felt to this day.
He met his friends Nur Ali Dogan and Sezai Esfak Vardioğlu at Marmara University whilst studying
English Literature and Language in 1980. From there he graduated in 1984 as a qualified English
teacher. In 1990, Sina Danyal decided, together with his father Ayhan, his brother Gökhan and his
friends Ali and Sezai to establish their own travel company and name it Danytur or
Danytours. Sina Danyal manages the company from the main office in Istanbul.
Ali is responsible for the Antalya area as well as assigning the tour guides for our group tours
and tailor-made private programs. Sezai is responsible for the Marmaris area, in particular the
quality of the Gulet yachts he discoveres and arranges. Sina's father Ayhan Danyal is a retired
state bank manager who gave invalueable support to Sina and the company at its foundation.
Today he continues to provide active support and encouragement to Danytours and is happy to spend
time in the office with his sons. Sina's brother Gökhan helps him managing the company from the Istanbul
office. This team of five partners have worked in great harmony and have had great success stories
since 1990. Between January 1990 and today, Danytours served series of tour groups from various tour
operators in the U.S. by working together to create interesting itineraries and
providing the best accommodation, meals, transportation, best tour guides and lecturers.
Danytours also specializes in customizing itineraries for families, friends and small groups of guests
from all over the world who contacted us directly.
Because of the continued high quality of the service provided by Danytours, all our guests
have been loyal and provided the best publicity for our company as evinced by our strong repeat business.
