How Private Istanbul Walking Tours Supports a Cleaner Future with Stripe Climate
Sustainability & Climate Commitment
Travel Istanbul Responsibly with Private Istanbul Walking Tours
At Private Istanbul Walking Tours, we believe that exceptional travel experiences should also contribute to a better future for our planet. As a boutique, female-owned travel company offering luxury private tours in Istanbul, we are committed to operating responsibly, supporting our local community, and protecting the environment that makes our city so special.
This is why we have partnered with Stripe Climate to help fund breakthrough carbon-removal technologies.
Your journey with us doesn’t just explore Istanbul — it helps safeguard the world we all share.
🌍 Our Climate Pledge: Supporting Real Carbon Removal
We proudly contribute a portion of our revenue to Stripe Climate, an initiative funding cutting-edge companies developing permanent carbon-removal solutions.
Unlike traditional carbon offsets, carbon removal eliminates CO₂ already in the atmosphere, helping the world make meaningful progress against climate change.
Why We Support Carbon Removal
Climate change is accelerating rapidly
Reducing emissions is not enough — we must remove historical emissions
Early support helps innovative technologies become scalable and affordable
Travel should leave a positive, lasting impact
By choosing to explore Istanbul with us, you are part of a global effort to build a cleaner, healthier future.
💚 Our Contribution: 0.25% of All Revenue
Every tour you book — whether it is an Old City Walking Tour, private Bosphorus yacht cruise, Istanbul food tour, or a custom off-the-beaten-path experience supports the development of real carbon-removal science.
Your travel experience becomes a force for good.
🔬 Where Your Support Goes
Stripe Climate partners with the world’s most promising carbon-removal companies.
Your tour helps support:
Climeworks – Direct Air Capture
Capturing CO₂ directly from the air and storing it underground, where it turns into stone.
Charm Industrial – Bio-Oil Carbon Storage
Transforming waste biomass into bio-oil and injecting it deep underground for permanent removal.
Heirloom, Carbon Built, 44.01, and More
A diverse portfolio of innovative carbon-removal pioneers shaping the future of climate action.
