Everything began when Necip Darcan – our founder and current CEO - started working as a concierge at Sheraton Istanbul in 1975. He was mostly involved with tourists, recommending daily attractions, arranging tours of the historical sights, restaurant bookings and etc. All the time spent behind the desk was satisfying but he wanted to be on the field, he wanted to show people Istanbul in his perspe
ctive, because this was the city he fell in love with ever since he first visited in 1965. He wanted to show people the Turkish hospitality that were visiting Istanbul so he quit working as a Concierge. After quitting the hotel business, he acquired his guiding certificate by the Ministry of Tourism and started working as a certified tour guide full-time. There was a demand in chauffeured driven cars with the guide. He saw this opportunity and few years later, he purchased a Ford Taunus and worked as both a chauffeur and tourist guide at the same time. After successful years of working in both fields the company was finally formed in 1988. After the company launched Mr. Darcan purchased the first company car, Mercedes-Benz 300E and shipped it to United States for a new adventure. He wanted to bring the first stretch limousine into Turkey and collaborated with Armbruster Stageway. DTLS Limousine was the first company to bring a stretch limo into the country in 1988. The 300E has been one of the biggest accomplishments of the company and the booster of the company that still operates to this day. Today DTLS Limousine operates nationwide and globally with five total offices in major cities of Turkey, with latest models of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. We offer concierge assistance services who are looking for full luxury services in Turkey.
