Sustainability Promise
At Private Istanbul Walking Tours, we believe premium travel should also be responsible. Since 2022, every booking made through our website and online channels supports tree-planting in Turkey at no extra cost to you. We partner with the TEMA Foundation to help plant native, diverse trees through monthly projects.
In addition, this is a separate initiative: Private Istanbul Walking Tours, Inc. contributes 0.25% of each purchase to support projects that remove CO2 from the atmosphere. We know this is only one step, but it is a clear, measurable commitment that can grow with our small business.
