UNFORGETTABLE TRIP
Greatly organized tour. Escorts (Arianna and Edoardo) very prepared and always available, guide (Lucia) competent and never trivial in descriptions and last but not least (I do not know the name) the driver who - always on time at the meeting points - juggled with skill in the chaotic traffic of Istanbul. As for the trip, the hot air balloon ride is unforgettable. Equally noteworthy are the underground cistern, the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. Interesting boat ride. Hotels not always at the level of the four stars, with excellent breakfasts and a wide choice, but fairly repetitive dinners.

Nice two days
The tour is delivered as promised. First day had more attractions but fewer details from the guide, the second day included traveling long distance to various sites with great explanation from the guide.
We were unfortunate the first day as our group mixed English and Turkish speaking tourists, so the guide had to explain in two languages. The sites we visited on both days were worth to see. We enjoyed it
