We had a very good time with our nice guide. Many pieces of information reached us. Her English was easy to understand. It was a bit unfortunate that many in the travel group were not very precise with punctuality, and we often had to wait. There was a deduction for shipping. On the way home, we sat multiple times in black diesel clouds. The exhaust fumes were terrible! Otherwise, a tour that I can recommend to everyone. Price-performance absolutely top-notch
Great tour! Glad we booked it at the last minute because they really show you just about everything. Our tour guide, Batu, was kind and humorous. However, it is quite tiring, so in retrospect, I would have skipped the boat tour at the very end and scheduled that part for another day to get the full benefit from it. FYI, the best WESTERN style bathrooms at the mosques and the restaurants.

A great overview of Istanbul. We visited places that we wouldn’t have gone. Our guide was very informative and friendly.
A great see it all tour. Mahsun is a great knowledgeable and patience guide. The Bosphorus bay sea cruise is too late.
An excursion that should have been enjoyable. If we had been informed of the conditions. Especially the boat tour. Which took place too late in the day without informing us that appropriate clothing was needed. Far too many stops at the merchants. This was also not part of the tour program. Otherwise, our guide was very good, and we thank him for the efforts he made to make the excursion enjoyable.
My favourite tour, well worth every penny. Excellent tour guide. Plenty of time given for taking pictures, must go on the cruise at the end
