We had an amazing time Seref was our guide and he was amazing very polite and very helpful He explained everything to us He made reservations for us One word for him:Superb

Skylux set up all of our Greek Isles tours and transfers for a party of 12 during a 10 day period and it was seamless! From the airport to the cruise ship and all of shore excursions, they ensured we had top notch service, transportation and tourism. We could not be happier with our choice and will continue to use Skylux for all of our family vacations!

Şeref is a professional, kind and very knowledgeable tour guide. What makes this tour special and different from others is Şeref. He really takes you by the hand into ancient history & architecture. Whether you have the basic knowledge of ancient history or not, you’ll be fascinated and appreciative of these monumental and powerful historic mosques, the grand bazar and remarkable historical sights.

Great experience from start to finish! The agency planned everything perfectly — flights, hotels, and tours were top-notch. Friendly staff and quick responses made our trip stress-free. Highly recommended for smooth travel planning!

Mine and her team is absolutely amazing! They think of every single detail and do a great job of managing expectations. I have continued to use her services as she is attentive, resourceful and a great problem solver. I’m happy to say Sky Lux has made our family’s greatest memories extraordinary ones!

EREN was an amazing tour guide for our day visit in Istanbul. It was a nice walk through town with very good explanations of every place we visited.

Beautiful experience altogether. Definitely recommend especially for the historical sites and the guidance of the team.

Amazing trip! Me and my boyfriend will not forget about this. We came from Canada and Turkey welcomed us greatly. Thank you to skylux !

Our experience has been fantastic, everything perfectly organised and Mine always looking after us. Excellent service that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.

We did this private tour of Istanbul’s Ottoman and Byzantine history with our kids, and it was fantastic. The guide was amazing with them—engaging, patient, and full of fascinating stories that kept everyone interested. Exploring places like Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace became a fun adventure for the whole family. It was both educational and enjoyable—highly recommended for families visiting Istanbul!

Mine we booked through skylux edition was very involved and helped us very much during our trip. It is always nice to travel stress free and thanks to her accessibility and commitment me and my family had a good trip in Istanbul. We are very satisfied with our experience.

A great experience. I only had the opportunity to spend a few hours in the city, but they were made the most of thanks to the knowledge and kindness of the guide. By the way, a spectacular city!

I think Miss Sahin had a wonderful organization, she is very attentive and helpful. Besides that, my father and I had a very fun experience with the guide who assigned us as he was comic and charismatic in addition to being very well prepared to handle the various issues and inquitudes. In that sense we were very pleased to have entrusted the company with this wonderful tour. Greetings from us to all the Turkish people we could meet during this experience!

I have traveled with other agencies where one feels a lot more for them and do not worry about delivering a good service especially if it presents a drawback and on my own but by far the best experience I have had so far was with Skylux! What one sees in the itinerary does not compare to what they offer as it exceeds all expectations!! Plus the super personalized attention they give and treat that makes you feel like a VIP client. I will definitely take a tour with them again as it is a luxury experience at a super good price. Recommended 100%!

Everything was perfect, excellent service and accompaniment, we enjoyed very much, we knew very nice places and with a lot of history.

The work of the agency was great: punctuality and quality in transport, super prepared guides and very pleasant for a family experience. We visited all the iconic places and learned a lot about the city.

Everything was perfect. Prior communication, understanding our expectations and tastes, accuracy of what is offered. The service is fantastic, as with a lifelong friend, efficient and friendly. We have travelled a lot and would not hesitate to say that the service is of the highest quality in the world.
