Baltac Tourism was established on March 16, 1971 by Mr Ahmet Baltacı and his mother Mehpare Baltacı.  Mr and Mrs Baltacı were among the early pioneers of Turkish tourism and they led the Turkish travel world with their innovative and meticulous approach to individualized service for many decades.  Mr Kazım Uzunoglu, having led tours for Baltac as a guide and also as operations staff in the office became the new owner of the company in 2004.  Ever since, Kazım is leading Baltac Tourism, continuing to provide the best service to our discerning guests while preserving the well-earned reputation spanning across half a century.

Baltac Tourism is not just a travel company.  It is an embodiment of many values we embrace, such as quality as a way of life, search for truth and knowledge and cultivation of curiosity in order to inspire new discoveries, stitched together with our core principles of honesty, integrity and empathy.  We regard the adventure of travel as an avenue to make new discoveries about life and most importantly, about oneself.  The magic of travel should help all of us learn about our own self, what we expect and want out of life.  That’s why our motto is Discovery Through Travel.  We invite you to join us in this exciting and mind-opening journey of discovery.
