Transportation : Poor (Had to switch Buses a million times)! And sometimes wait for no reason. The Cable Car : Very not worthy the visit but it is what it is! The Bosphorus Tour : Still don’t understa (Read More)nd why the guide was silent and not explaining any history / buildings / interacting during the cruise. (Thats a common sense even within the Public Bosphorus tours!) Don’t recommend.

Tour was good. Unfortunately it was an unbooked shopping tour. At the end of the tour we were taken to a leather shop. We didn't go into the shop and had to wait 85 minutes on the bus for other partic (Read More)ipants. The tour ended at 6:00 p.m. - we were only finished at 7:15 p.m. Unfortunately we couldn't keep our next appointment and it has expired. It's a big cheek. I've often booked with getyourguide, was always satisfied, this time unfortunately garnished. I'm thinking about booking with getyourguide again.

This was one of the most terrifying tours I have ever booked through get your guide. We weren't picked up in front of our hotel, we had to sit for an hour in a dirty restaurant on chairs on which cons (Read More)truction workers stood with their shoes and put spatula right next to us. We were added to a full day tour and no bus tour was taken as advertised. Instead of the specified time of 1:30 - 5:30 p.m., the tour went from 2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., but we were not able to take part in it because we were in Istanbul on business and had meetings in the evening. The guide didn't want to let us take the cable car because the queue was too long (we only stood in line for 10 minutes) and wanted to let us walk. The boat was so dirty and in such bad condition that you can't even watch it. Not to mention the parrot that was used on the boat for picture taking showing OCD. We advise everyone against it. It's not worth €10.

The trip was unorganized. The guide did not inform you about the process. The trip lasted 6 hours instead of 4 hours. The highlight of the boat trip came at the end at 6:00 p.m. Before that, a long bu (Read More)s ride and a visit to the mosque. mountain with cable car ride.

The boat was much too old and it wasn't heated either. In addition, we were not picked up with a vehicle directly in front of the hotel, but had to walk a long way to the main street.
