The pace of the tour was good; the guide informative. We got to see a great deal in a short time span. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Wonderful, kind and interested guide. Local operator was very professional and organized.
We had been to Athens before and had never driven around the city. Everything was on time and service to and from the ship was great with not to much walking. views were outstanding from the top of the tour bus and we were able to get good pictures.
Convenient pick-up point right outside the cruise port was fabulous but if you are wanting to only go to the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Hadj Sophia, this is the last stop on the tour and you could be wasting your valuable time. Loved the online booking option which works very well. Tell your bus driver where you what you want to see as it can get rather overwhelming and the distances are far between the hop-off points and a lot of it is up-hill.
Great tour, I wish we had more time at the Topkapi Palace, but definitely a great overall tour.
The cruise was great. I wish I had more time to walk around at the spice bazaar but it was a good experience.
It was grate. Lovely group, it's a VIP trip thanks to Viator.
Great Experience, definitely recommend it
Great tour. I would add a Bosphorus Tour rather than the Grand Bazaar.
We really like the hop-on hop-off tours.
Two things to improve though:
1. Half tour we had to do it in the first floor and it is not so interesting.
2. Some times the audios are boring. I think it would be nicer if it is a conversation or like a radio show... anything that gets the attention all the time.
Very nice night.
The end of the show was wonderful. One of the belly dancers was really great.
To improve:
1. The food.
2. The other belly dancers are good but not great.
A perfect day in Istanbul. Our guide Ali was excellent; one of the best we have had in all of our city tours. He was so knowledgeable on so many things - history, religion, geography, art, and he was an expert on Oriental carpets. He has written a wonderful short guide book on buying Oriental carpets - make sure to check it out if you are considering buying a real Turkish-made carpet. Ali took us to a quaint local restaurant which served typical fare but was not over-priced. Our driver was great; the van was small and comfortable. A wonderful day in Istanbul.
Our guide was good, although a little repetitive. He gave us great tips on shopping at the Bazaar. The boat cruise was just the right length and very informative.
Very little commentary on the cruise and we were glad we had taken coats as it was quite windy. The spice bazaar was really interesting - better than the Grand Bazaar - although do haggle for prices. We learnt the hard way!!
A really interesting and informative day. Lots to see with an excellent guide. Lunch was really good and when I explained that I was gluten intolerant they brought me a fruit salad for dessert rather than the baklava that everyone else was having. Pick up from the hotel was prompt and umbrellas were provided. Booked it for the first full day we were there and it was the best thing we could have done. Gave us a brilliant insight into the city and would thoroughly recommend it
