Prince island - Had a great experience visiting the islands. The guide didn’t just take us on a boat and drop us off. He took us up to the monastery an took us through it. Also on the big island took us around an explained things very well. Would definitely recommend him.

A Beautiful tour for those who are in Istanbul and have already visited the basic tourist attractions - We went to the islands on our own, no excursion. We took the ferry at the port of Galata and descended on the last island. Adalar is beautiful! There are many restaurants to choose from, markets, shops and also hotels. When we return to Istanbul, we intend to spend a few days on this island so that we can enjoy more of the city, the trails and the beaches.

Good service - Well organized, good information being shared and service to support guests. Area to improve is the bus was not safe mirror of the bus was cracked in front of the driver. Also, miscommunication occur when I was picked by one of the buses and another guid was waiting me in another bus, so we tour guides need to align well with their communication. While returning back bus is not sufficient and drop off was challenging

The trip was great. Our tour guide was great and did everything to make us feel comfortable and make sure we did not get lost. D - Everything was great as expected. We were kept informed of the trip and time so everything went smooth. I would definitely recommend for the price you pay. Unless you want to see more.

It's worth leaving. - The islands are not too far from Istanbul. It takes one hour 15 minutes by boat. The Second Island was better than First. You can take the electric bus on to the top of the hill, or rent with bicycles.

Princess Island Excapade 2024 - I had an awesome experience during this tour. I met quite a few people and had a good conversation. The islands are spectacular, but there is nothing much to do there, but I enjoyed biking around. The tour staff are very informative and approachable.

Not terrible and waste of time - Nothing extraordinary... a lot of time wasted on a boat neither comfortable nor quiet! On the spot, not much to do except walk and have a coffee... from the islands, no breathtaking view either... "missed corner" in short

Did not follow the itinerary - This tour did not follow the itinerary. They did not go under the Galata Bridge. They did not pass-by the Maidens Tower. They stopped at the large island for 2hrs instead of the published 3hrs. They stopped for 1hr on the small island instead of the one with Halki that I especially came to see.
