Tours by Travel by Elefante arranged for 2 1/2 day tours in Turkey from our cruise. It was private tours with a wonderful guide, Celal. We were 4 people. We went to the Grand Bazaar, spice market, Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Blue Mosque. The sisterns were amazing. Lunches were also fabulous. We went on a private boat tour of the Bosphorus river. We loved Turkey especially because our tour guide made interesting and easy for us.
I have nothing but good marks with our experience. We had to make several changes due to some arrival issues. The company was extremely helpful in making the changes. Our guide was prompt, informative and listened to our desires. he was very flexible. I would highly recommend this tour and the company. And Istanbul is incredible.
