I had booked a full day private tour with IBO Tours to visit the palaces on my last day in Istanbul. I was very lucky to fall on an amazing agency and a tour guide. They adapted the tour based on my needs and paste, the Guide, Kubilay was very polite, warm and knowledgable. I learned that they do have an amazing night Dinner Cruise on the Bosphorus. I am a frequent/influencer traveler, and I do travel the world and by far, this agency was one of the best. I strongly recommend them.
Hello Michel, Thank you very much for your kind review. We wish you all best. IBO TEAM
