This tour was truly exceptional. The guide was very knowledgeable, especially concerning the history of the area and the religions involved. The tour added a historical carpet museum that was not on the list of places to be visited that was very interesting. Of course, there was the obligatory visit to the guide's favorite jewelry and carpet shop, but that was accomplished in a very low key manner. Pickup at the port and drop-off at our hotel after the tour for us and all our baggage was effortlessly accomplished. This tour was much cheaper and a much smaller group than one offered by the cruise line.

It was a good tour with a fantastic guide. However, the half day tour actually did not include Grand Bazaar and we ended up walking to the Blue Mosque ourselves. The problem was that those attractions were only included in the whole day trip.

We had to meet another group to combine coaches which wasted a lot of time. We didn't even visit the bazaar.

We were picked up at the hotel and taken to the ship after the tour with our luggage. Our tour guide was well informed and communicated very well.

We joined what was a full day tour. Took a large tour bus to a different mosque than the blue mosque. We got about a 10 minute explanation about that mosque. Then took a bus to Tokapi palace got another 10 minute talk and were sent to explore by ourselves. Then we were dropped off at the Grand Bazaar without any info at all. We would have gotten more doing it ourselves. Very disappointed.
