An okay experience, but nothing special. I paid extra for pick up from my hotel which involved following a rather rushed gentleman through the crowd to the actual pick up point which was about 10 minutes walk away. I’m not sure why I paid an additional amount for this kind of pick up and really should be refunded. A few places were visited as part of the experience and that include a trip on the Bosphorus. The guide himself was okay, but the initial pick up was frankly disastrous.

Not a Balat-Fener tour
Bosphorus cruise was too long. Did not visit eyup sultan mosque and Balat was only 20 minutes self exploration without guide. Fenner was not visited. Guide took us to shops instead to buy turkish delights/ spices which was a waste of time.
事業者からの返答
We respectfully decline the refund request.
According to our itinerary, all locations included in the tour program were visited as scheduled. The tour was conducted with the guide from the beginning to the end. At certain stops, guests were given free time to take photos and explore independently, which is part of the normal tour flow.
Additionally, Fener is not included in the published itinerary, so the claim that it was omitted is not applicable.
We have also spoken with the tour guide, who confirmed that the tour was completed according to the itinerary and that all scheduled attractions were visited. If required, we can provide our communication records with the guide and other supporting documentation to verify this.

Great tour
A great tour with a lot to visit in 3 hours. Enjoyed every moment of it, thank you to our guide, Baki and the driver whose name I don’t remember.
What can be improved is AC can be colder in the tour bus because it was a hot day to walk and a longer English language part during the boat excursion because I saw lots of beautiful buildings/palaces that I didn’t know and the guide didn’t explain their names and story in English in details.

Good minibus and boat tour of Istanbul.
Got to see a good bit of Istanbul that we wouldn't otherwise have seen. The views from Pierre Loti were lovely. The cable car ride was short n sweet. The visit to the mosque was interesting. The Barat area was just so-so. Best part was the boat on the Bosporus. Directions to meeting point were clear. The guide was a nice man but hard to hear / understand when in the minibus. The driver answered phone calls and texts when driving, at one point holding the phone to his right ear and steering with his left hand but then lifting his hand off the steering wheel to change gears!!! At one point, this distracted him so that he almost missed a turn off and crossed lanes in front of other traffic to make the exit! How and ever, we got back safely, nonetheless. Would recommend this tour, it was good value.
