イスタンブールの一日ツアー-ボスポラスクルーズ付きイスタンブール歴史ツアー

This “All in One Day Istanbul (incl. boat)” tour was outstanding from start to finish and a fantastic way to experience the city’s history, culture, and atmosphere in a single day. Pickup at my hotel was exactly on time, and the operator made the whole process very easy by sending a WhatsApp message with a photo of the van’s license plate to avoid any confusion. The driver also asked for my name and showed it on paper, which made the pickup feel secure and very well organised. Funny enough, despite all these precautions, the people who were supposed to share the tour with me got into the wrong van—so I unexpectedly ended up having a private tour! The itinerary was excellent. From Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace to the lively Grand Bazaar, there was history and culture at every turn. The day ended beautifully with a magical Bosphorus cruise between Europe and Asia, which was the perfect way to relax and take in Istanbul from the water. Melih, my tour guide for the land segment, was superb! He was knowledgeable, precise, and gave historical context with the depth of a true scholar, while also sharing details and insights that you do not find in books. He was not only a fantastic guide, but also a genuinely superb person. I did not get the name of the guide on the boat, but he was very close to Melih in quality: warm, knowledgeable, and fun. The crew was also superb—thank you especially for the cheese to pair with the raki! Overall, this was a memorable, well organised, and highly recommended Istanbul experience. Note: this is a demanding tour requiring (almost) non-stop walking for the land part (no hills though).

An amazing day. Murat our guide was so knowledgeable and flexible including extra things as the grand bazaar was closed on a Sunday. We had plenty of time to see everything. There is a fair amount of walking but with lots of stops along the way this was fine. The extras not included amounted to another 160 euros per couple so factor this in. All the locations were worth the cost and the visit. The lunch on a rooftop terrace was stunning as was the sunset cruise- a perfect way to end a busy day. All guides were helpful and respectful. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Nehed for the day was amazing! Sadly she was really the only good part. Lovely, informative and helpful woman. A disappointment for us was that the bazaar was closed (not notified of that) and the lunch served me with something I was allergic to (despite our guide sending things back several times and explaining carefully my allergy). So we ended up having to cut the day short just after lunch because I became very sick. The cruise that evening was fine but the guide must have said “and the other side is Asia” at least a dozen or more times (it became a joke with my group and the others in our area) and it was just ‘lacking.’ Snacks were provided per booking group and not per person - annoying if everyone likes the same things. Just overall meh.

My friend and I had the most wonderful day within Nehed! Thank you so much to our brilliant guide who expertly guided us through all of the beautiful and important landmarks of Istanbul. She took the time to tell us all of the history in great detail and made us feel very welcome in this beautiful city. She took us to a beautiful place for lunch where we had fabulous food, an amazing view fed the seagulls and even saw dolphins and other marine life. It was very sad to part with her as we felt like she became our new friend during the day. If you have limited time in Istanbul, this tour with the lovely Nehed is an absolute must as you get to see everything the city has to offer and more!

I think this tour is a must to see so much of the beauty of Istanbul and learn the significance of what you are seeing. The tour was well organized and a great way to get around in a time efficient manner. The cruise was awesome and an opportunity for great pictures.

Fantastic day - everything was handled so professionally from booking, pick up at our hotel, connecting with our guide (who was so good and a real jem), all the great sights, lunch, connecting back to the boat (which was very good) and transfer back to the hotel. We didn't have to wait at all and had a great time - Highly recommended and well worth the money!!

This was a wonderful day of exploration with a very knowledgeable tour guide. To top off the day there is a relaxing 2 hour cruise up and down the Bosphorus. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive to your needs. We had a great day!

We had a great time! The staff was super attentive and educational. Great snacks and drinks were included and the staff even took pictures for us!

We only had one full day in Istanbul and wanted to make the most of our time to experience as much of the city as possible. Our driver picked us up at the hotel and arrived right on time as scheduled. We were dropped off close to the Hippodrome where our tour started with our guide, Fatih. Fatih was a GREAT guide!! He was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, shared a ton of information, and provided plenty of time to answer all our questions. Our lunch stop was a beautiful little restaurant overlooking the water and a sampling of tasty Turkish dishes for lunch. Afterward we continued with our tour and headed for the Great Bazaar. We wandered several of the many streets in the bazaar with Fatih and took in all the sight, sounds and smells of this wonderful exhibit of culture. We saw many of the beautiful spots in the city that were on our list of "to see" including the Blue Mosque and the Haggai Sofia Mosque. There was an optional entrance fee for the Haggai Sophia Mosque of 25 euros per person which we thought was a small price to pay to see the inside and hear the stories and history of the mosque. After our walking tour, we were transported to the port for our sunset cruise on the Bosphorus Strait. The weather was cloudy, cool, and a bit breezy but there was plenty of areas on the boat to stay out of the cool air. You could also sit in the very front of the boat for an unobstructed view. There were also blankets available to wrap up in to keep warm if you needed them. We were served refreshments and snacks during our boat ride, which was a nice touch. The skies cleared just as we were returning to port and made for some gorgeous sunset pictures! What a perfect way to end the day in Istanbul. We were transported back to our hotel after the tour. It was a long day with a lot of walking but there were opportunities to stop and rest, if needed. What a great experience and would highly recommend this tour to someone that wants to experience Istanbul with limited time!!

Fabulous guide and tour. He was very informative and timed our visits to avoid crowds. The boat ride was wonderful. They came around constantly serving fruits and cheeses. It was a luxurious yacht for our group of 15 which probably holds 150 people. We had a nice lunch at a rooftop restaurant that was very nice.
