A very well-organized tour, with very friendly staff and top-notch service! They explained everything in detail, and we had a really great time on board! Highly recommended!

The process is too complicated for the Topkapi Palace Museum: meeting at a café that’s not exactly close by, waiting for the group to assemble, etc. Admission tickets like those for Hagia Sophia would be preferable.
Five rides on the transit pass aren’t enough. Ten rides would be more appropriate given the number of days and visits.
Finally, regarding the Bosphorus cruise, it’s very convenient that you can change your time slot, but it would be helpful if this were indicated from the start

Absolutely great—the driver was fantastic and took really good care of us. We had the bus all to ourselves, which was nice. Very welcoming—I highly recommend it. Thanks again for everything.

Michael was a great guide.
I would have liked to be able to pick up our tickets for the palace and the boat tour that morning. In the morning, we had to follow the guide to enter the different parts of the palace.
For the boat tickets, we had to go somewhere else entirely. We didn’t have the address of the new location where we were supposed to pick up the tickets.
There was a serious lack of clarity and detail.

Beautiful, but the stay on the islands is short and the ferry is slow. The lunch was also meager and its timing was inconvenient.
