Our history

Turquía Exclusiva is part of Mandala Tours, a company that groups local agencies in countries of great tourist wealth in the Muslim world. And starting our activity in Turkey has meant a giant step forward for usThe diversity and grandeur of the country is overwhelming.
Our experience in other surrounding countries has been the best preparation to disembark in Turkey and offer the best service as a local agency.

Mandala Tours was born in 2011 in Morocco, founded by Carlos GallegoCeutí by birth and strong advocate of tourism as a vehicle for twinning between peoples, cultures and religions.
Here, together with his most trusted collaborators, such as
Leticia Mata and Rachid Ait KhouyaWe have grown professionally, serving all types of travelers: from young adventurers to families in search of comfort and safety, from organized groups to private tours in the premium segment.
The success in all these niches led us to open differentiated brands, each one aimed at a different profile, such as Chic Morocco o Tenere Tours.

But that great experience acquired in Morocco also launched us to create more local agencies in different countries, with the quality seal of Mandala Tours but with local teams and collaborators capable of showing the best image of that country.
This is how we set up Egypt Exclusive together with another of the key pieces of Mandala Tours:
Ahmed El TayebI am a member of a family that has been dedicated to tourism for several decades.
The land of the pharaohs has a special magnetism and a great importance in the global tourism sector, thus pushing us towards the internationalization of our company.

Jordan was the next step along the way, a real business and professional challenge due to its many charms and its strategic geographical location: to the attractions of destinations such as Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea we added the option of combined trips with neighboring Israel. IsraelThis opened the doors to the fascinating world of the Holy Land for our travelers.

In fact, the solution of package tours, with circuits that cover two or more countries, is another of Mandala Tours’ hallmarks: thanks to our efficient network of agencies, we can organize trips to Turkey and the countries mentioned above, but also to many others where we have reliable partners: Oman, Arab Emirates, Greece… and much more.

If you can imagine it, Mandala Tours can make it happen.
So if you have been dreaming of discovering Turkey at your own pace, you are in the right place: the professionals listed below will be at your disposal to start shaping the trip of your dreams, where you will be the main protagonist.

What we can offer you

Transportation, one more experience of the trip

Traveling is, in itself, moving from one place to another. And for the trip to be of the highest quality, so must be the transportation. We base our tours on high-end and comfortable vehicles, which allows us to reach any corner of Turkey, but also to move quickly and punctually in any city: transfers from or to the airport, pick-ups at the hotel door and any other service that may be necessary. But we can also manage internal travel by other means of transport, such as domestic flights within Turkey or even high-speed train tickets, if this is the best or preferred option for our clients.

Lodging: much more than a simple rest

A good night's rest is essential to make the most of a day of sightseeing. But our accommodations are much more than just a place to get a good night's sleep: they are unforgettable experiences, whether for their unique location, the exclusivity of their services or other elements of interest. We work with the best hotel chains, but also with boutique hotels and charming accommodations, where closing your eyes to sleep will be a pleasure.

Guided tours, to see and understand

Our travels carry, implicitly, the knowledge of what is seen. Because to be able to admire it, you have to understand it. In this way, Turquía Exclusiva has official and quality tour guides who can explain in your language everything you need to know about the destinations to visit. Their history, their natural value, their hidden secrets... But our guides not only know the keys of the monuments to visit, but also the codes of respect and kindness that our travelers demand. So, when you return from your trip, you will remember not only the valuable explanations, but also the cicerone who shared them in a close and understandable way.

Travel assistance, so that you feel supported

Traveling to another country, where the language and customs are different, can instill a certain amount of respect. But all fear dissipates when you are accompanied by people you trust, knowledgeable about the place and with the vocation to help at all times. For this reason, Turquía Exclusiva will provide you with personal assistance and accompaniment, according to the requirements of each moment. For example, for the welcome and farewell at the airport, or to attend a leisure event included in the program. But you will also feel our presence in your free time: if something happens during that time, you can contact our office by phone, as we offer a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week service. Everything to make you feel supported at all times.

Restoration, for the best taste in the mouth

We know that gastronomy is one of the greatest pleasures of a trip. A proper diet these days is key to enjoy the program with health and energy. But also, it will become a cultural experience of the most outstanding, since the culinary tradition of Turkey is one of the richest in the world. Therefore, we will take care of booking the most suitable restaurants for your tastes and expectations. In addition, the hotels selected for the tours have been chosen, in part, because their gastronomic offer is first class, which is transferred to breakfasts, lunches and dinners, when included in the program.

Activities and leisure, experiences that live on

On our trips, there is not only a lot to see, but also a lot to do.
If you attach great importance to leisure activities, Turquía Exclusiva can offer you
a wide variety of plans.
Desde actividades de aventura en plena naturaleza a propuestas de ocio en la ciudad, como espectáculos teatrales o folclóricos, sesiones de relajación en baños turcos y cualquier otra sugerencia que nos plantees.
