It was a beautiful day to go see the islands and do something a little different than the normal high pace of Istanbul. The boat ride was nice but getting there and the other activities not the best a bit of chaos and wishful thinking to make it through it all.
What an amazing day my sister and I had visiting two of the Prince's Islands. We thoroughly enjoyed the stops we had giving us the opportunity to see the lush and charming islands and imagining that this was how Istanbul would once have been. The ferry crew were friendly, funny and entertaining. I would absolutely recommend this trip as an essential experience.
Very good trip - islands were very nice ok lunch boat was big with very good views Overall nice trip at good rates and price
The tour guide Jello made this experience unforgettable. He was very knowledgeable, kind and funny. We had a great time and it learned a lot from this trip.
We really enjoyed the time passed on the boat and ambiance was great. Food looked ok but we enjoyed eating at fish restaurant on the big Island. We had wonderful day thank you guys for this good experience.
The boat cruise was very pleasant with entertainments. We had a great time and it was very interesting to see all the sights. Definitely prefer to be visited warmer weather.
I had a good time going to Princess Island and I really enjoyed the boat trip. Hotel pick up and drop off very organized. The tour guide was very nice and was enthusiastic about the history of Istanbul. Lunch was enjoyable and I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see another part of Istanbul.
My Uber driver dropped me off at the wrong location. The guide found me in a fenced in parking lot and picked me up in a scooter to bring me to the ferry. I was grateful that I wasn't left behind. The lunch was hot and delicious. I paid 250 TL to rent a bike on the larger island. I was not good at it, but as a solo traveler, the tour guide and his friend showed me around the island. The Turkish hospitality that you've heard about is real! They go out of there way to welcome you to their country & city of Istanbul.
Everything was nicely organised and planned. Day before company contacted us and gave us estimated pickup time from our Airbnb Address. Guide contacted us few minutes before vehicle arrived and made our way to the boat ( on the way we had to stop another two stops for picking up other travellers but not for long ). There was a lot of entertainments on the boat and lunch was ok. The trips to the İslands was nice, guide provided the group with some information and we had lots of free time to walk around. Definitely worth renting bikes or electric vehicles moving around in the İsland.
