The guide spoke perfect English and was prepared and organized. The driver was also kind and always available. It was certainly not an 8 hour tour as reported in the description, but rather 5. In my o (Read More)pinion they should have seen many more places in the remaining hours. Lunch was not included as described.

A lovely day tour that included a ride on the bridge that connects 2 continents (how cool!) in Istanbul, a boat ride on the Bosphorus, a visit to the Palace, and a delicious lunch. Special shout-out t (Read More)o our tour guide Tulay who make an extra diligent effort to connect with us at pickup even though our Airbnb was hard to reach. (If not for her, we would have missed the tour altogether.) I would personally recommend this tour.
