(5.0)Fantastic service
Perfect communication, they were able to pick me up at 04:30 from outside the main city and do my transfer to the airport safely in a snowstorm hard to drive. The car was very comfortable and very clean. Driver was very friendly. I will use this service again when I return.

(4.0)Luxurious transportation at a reasonable price.
During our visit to Turkey in December last year, we used this shuttle service 3 times. Their fleet is very friendly, updated and stocked with the beverage of your choice (you can ask for it when booking). I want to share some things that we think are useful for people who want to use its services in the future. Advantages: Excellent communication via WhatsApp. Confirmed our reservation the day before, every time we get off and pick up. The fleet is updated, clean, and equipped with our drinks and snacks. Have wifi and easily connect with excellent download upload speed. Easy to book online. Value for money Things to know/consider: Not all drivers speak English. You will meet your first contact when you exit the terminal. Then you will be led by another touch point into the elevator and into a floor. Then you will wait for who your final contact is. In the 3 times we used their service, the time from reaching our first contact point to the time spent in the van varied between 5 and 20 minutes. It depends on what time of day you are. Of our 3 trips, 2 trips were driven by Selcuk. He is a good person and used to be a tourist bus driver/guide. He was very friendly and offered us with turkish delights. We will absolutely ask for him when we visit Istanbul again. Is there a cheaper option? Yes, but the value you pay is excellent. This shuttle service is suitable for those who want to travel safely, efficiently and stylishly. I would recommend it 100%.

Return transfer was troubled. We were just missing our plane! The vehicle failed, Vigo Tours arranged a taxi for us. However, this took some time :(

(4.0)Good service!
I gathered a lot of information before I went to Istanbul. Private airport transfer is very important in such a big city. With this in mind, we made our airport transfer online on the Vigo Tours website. Everything went well. The drivers are very attentive and polite, they obey the traffic rules, they know the hotels very well. Our return transfer was also smooth. Thank you Vigo Tours!
