There are many options for the private tour. We wanted to see the Asia side and so our tour guide arranged for us to do a ferry over to that side. We went for an authentic Turkish lunch and then stopped by and had some amazing desserts. We did stop by a carpet place and spent some time looking at the rugs, and also had some drinks. It was nice and some of our group bought rugs. They do try to be very accommodating to tourists and want you to spend time there, so we did have to let them know when we wanted to move to the next location. Some of our group wanted to go back to the ship prior to the end of the tour, and we wanted to walk the market... our tour guide sent the car with our group back and then independently walked us through the market and walked us back to our ship. Dave was a great tour house and he had alot of knowledge about the area and its culture. I would recommend!
Thank you very much for your kindness
The port complex is impressive but is let down by the lack of clear signage to the Cruise Port Arrival and Departure Area. Until signage is updated then we will avoid cruises using the port. Those with mobility or disabilities should at present also do the same as we are aware of people ending up walking up to a mile inside the complex.
This has nothing to do with our tour service.Not releated to our tour.Kind Regards
