You should definitely do this excursion when you come to Istanbul. Everything was very well organized, the only point of criticism was the specified pick-up time, we were collected 25 minutes earlier (Read More)than specified, so you should plan a time window of +/- 30 minutes, on a 2nd excursion it was the other way around. We would definitely book a trip here again.

We were picked up on time and learned a lot about the country and its people from our friendly tour guide. We liked the boat tour. Of course, the communication with a German-speaking guide, as actuall (Read More)y ordered, would have worked better, but our tour guide tried very hard to close this gap. Thanks to Gunnür (?). The spice bazaar was very interesting and the samples were very tasty. So the first souvenirs could already be bought. We will fondly remember Istanbul after the three days and maybe come back again.

We had an absolutely amazing day with Gamze our tour guide. We visited so many places, both foodie destinations and tourist attractions. Gamze is so passionate and knowledgeable about Istanbul and Tur (Read More)key overall and was very friendly and warm. We tried so many different foods - Turkish coffee, profiteroles, desserts, salads, wraps, sesame bagels, tea, and of course many types of Turkish delight. Such a wonderful tour, a real highlight of our trip.

Unfortunately I had to wait in vain for my guide in the morning. Only after I called was I told that there was supposedly a problem with the car. I was offered to reschedule the tour by a few hours. D (Read More)espite my now rather short time (date: Bosphorus tour in the evening), I agreed. The guide picked me up on foot for the new appointment on time. We walked and drove, without detours and well organized, by train to the starting point of the tour. His English was sometimes difficult for me to understand because the guide spoke quite quickly and not always in my direction. The whole tour was on the one hand somewhat shortened due to my tight schedule (desire), but as much as it shouldn't have been (there were still 2 hours left). The guide probably took advantage of this out of self-interest. I also missed some promised meals. On the whole, the guide was relatively reserved. At the end of the tour, I was sent back halfway by train
