It wouldn't have been possible for us to travel across two continents in such a short time on our own. The tour was perfectly paced; we had the chance to see everything in detail without rushing. Our guide's historical explanations, in particular, elevated our experience to a whole new level. Logistically, we had a very comfortable and stress-free day.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with us.
Tour was interesting. Mahsun was quite knowledgeable. There was a lot of free time. Perhaps if tour were scheduled to start one hour later we still could see everything with less wait around time.
We started the tour with a coffee break on Çamlıca Hill, which offers a magnificent view of Istanbul. Afterwards, we visited Beylerbeyi Palace and Çamlıca Mosque. Their architecture and majestic beauty were dazzling. Lunch was filling and delicious. Then we visited Pierre Loti Hill and finally took a 2-hour boat trip. This tour was well worth the money. We had a wonderful day. I definitely recommend it.
