We enjoyed the view and the sea - “Watching the sunset over the sea on Heybeliada was one of the most peaceful moment of my life. Its natural beauty and historical charm are simply mesmerizing. From the up to Aya Yorgi Church was quite an adventure!

I have never been to an island before and I feel very lucky to have been to this one. - I joined the island tour and it was truly a wonderful experience. We visited all the historical sites on the island. The Greek Orphanage, Aya Yorgi Church, and the Cumhuriyet Orphanage were especially impressive. It was also nice to see Kaşık Island from afar. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained each stop in detail. It was an unforgettable day full of nature and history. Highly recommended!

The cruise was wonderful - The Princes’ Islands were truly enchanting. Escaping the hustle and bustle of Istanbul and being surrounded by nature was wonderful. Horse carriages have been replaced by bicycles, and the streets were filled with peace. Walking through Büyükada, seeing the historic mansions, and breathing in the sea air was refreshing for the soul. Watching the sunset while sipping tea by the shore was the perfect end to the day

A nice experience for me and my family - We joined the island tour and everything was very well organized from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel at the beginning of the tour and dropped off again after it ended — this service was very convenient. We visited two different islands, each one impressed us with its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. It was quiet, calm, and very clean. Many thanks to everyone involved — it was a wonderful experience!

Had high hopes but overall very disappointing - Unfortunately this tour is not at all as advertised. The entire “itinerary” is not followed in any order, the “stops” are merely the tour guide announcing and pointing out landmarks from the boat, and despite the listing clearly saying FREE admission for beach swimming, the staff insisted on charging us additional $30 USD for entry. At this point, we would’ve only been swimming for about 30-45 min which was the allotted time we were given to swim. We only found this out when the boat had dropped us off on the beach and already left. If anyone had at least told us about the additional charge in advance we wouldn’t have minded and would have simply stayed to explore the town on our own, but this was never mentioned by any of the guides, nor is it stated anywhere on the tour listing itself. When I contacted the booking agent to let him know about the situation, he was extremely rude, and didn’t offer any apology for the mis/lack of information provided. I will say that I can’t review the lunch provided as we haven’t even gotten to that part of the tour yet, but our experience so far has sadly been very poor. Not at all as advertised. Unfortunately I cannot recommend it to anyone else.
