Fabulous morning insight to walking through where East meets West! Istanbul was fascinating and our guide was knowledgeable and fun!
Thanks a lot for your review.Hope we will see you again.
Notice to the English: take care to read the details . Entrance to the topkapi palace is not included in the ticket, no guided tour of the grand bazaar. The guide spoke in incomprehensible French and told us that the tour would be in English without choice on our part. You end up with a visit imposed in style in a store whose first prices are exorbitant. Visit to flee at all costs. We'll now go through get your guide.
Unfortunately we are not sorry about your tour feedback. Because a day before the tour,You contacted with us and shared with us on WhatsApp a screen shot that shows what is included and excluded.We informed that entry fee is extra and you asked how.But clearly on the ticket you saw it.It is clearly that you are not a tourist and you only aim to complain even if you are not right.You complain that guide didnt explain anything.If you dont join tour how you blame someone didnt explain. Please delete your review and dont misinform other clients.
