I had an amazing experience on the **Bosphorus and Two Continents Tour**! From the moment I was picked up, the service was top-notch. The driver was punctual and friendly, and the entire process was seamless. Our guide gave clear, engaging explanations throughout the day, sharing fascinating history and local insights that brought each site to life. The itinerary was well-balanced — the Bosphorus cruise offered stunning views, and exploring both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul was a real highlight. Everything was well-organized, from transport to timing, and I felt well taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to truly experience the beauty and history of Istanbul in comfort and style.
Thank you for this very kind words about our tour services.
We did the lunch time boat cruise which took about 3 hrs including transfers amd included lunch. We enjoyed being on the water to get a different perspective of Istanbul. I would recommend.
Thank you very much to this review. All the best.
Istanbul is beautiful, our first time on the Asian side and it was amazing seeing the beautiful hills and views
thank you to your very kind review.
Emre, our guide, did a great job of assessing our needs and capabilities and taking us to experience those older parts of Istanbul that were never going to see with our tour party. What a wonderful beginning to our holiday.
Dear Friends, Thanks to your kind review. Emre
After two days of walking tours, it was nice to have a private bus (for our tour group) shuttle us around for the day. Our tour guide was fantastic and we learned a lot of Turkish history from him. He also had the perfect mix of guiding and explaining vs giving us time to ourselves to look and discuss on our own. All in all, a very nice day.
Thanks To your kind review.
An excellent night boat cruise with dinner (&alcohol) and entertainment included. Very polite staff, good programme, scheduled comfortable transfer from and to the hotel. Absolutely good value for the money. All arranged by Mr Emre and his agency colleagues, excellent job!

Bismillah It was our great holiday and tour in Turki with Mr Emre Önal was our tour guide. We went to see beautiful Bursa and it’s beautiful snowy mountain. We cruised the strait of Bosporus up to Buyukada. Staying in Istanbul was also a great chance to visit historic sites of Anatolia, including Blue Mosque, and its surrounding area. We also went to visit a great history site of Abu Ayoub Al Anshari. Spices market, grand market were among other places that were so enjoyable we have visited. Turki keeps a lot of beautiful and historical sites to visit. We also went to Kayseri, Cappadocia and had opportunity to visit our Australian friend living in Nevsheher. In general, Turki is very beautiful, the creativity of it people. The Turkish people were very welcoming by offering us with different democratic choices of tea, black tea, apple tea, etc. Love to come back one day Alhamdulillah
Dear Friend, Thanks To your kind review. Hope to see you again in Turkey istanbul With your family. Emre Ö.
