Excellent trip around some important places in Istanbul! - At first when I booked the trip I thought, here I am looking for something to do, I hope this excites me. Wow, the trip was amazing, Atakan, our guide did not only take his time explaining each stop, me being American, he had great English skills and made sure everyone understood what each stop represented! We had a fabulous lunch which was included. He gave us time to explore each stop. If I didn’t quite understand, I would get with him one on one for explaining in greater detail. I highly recommend this tour and if you get him as your guide, rest assured you will be beaming with knowledge!

Great tour - The tour was quite educational, with a guide who demonstrated extensive knowledge about each site. He allowed sufficient time for photographs and personal exploration when needed. However, the night boat tour felt excessively long, leading me to disembark early when we returned to the dock to pick up additional tourists. I rated it four stars because the guide often neglected to ensure the group was together when moving to the next location; he would simply proceed without checking on everyone. I suggest bringing a headscarf, as it is required in most exhibits, and purchasing your Hagia Sophia Mosque ticket online to avoid higher charges. For first-time visitors to the country, I would recommend this tour, with a different guide.

To do... very cheap - Experience to do ... shows all the differences between the Asian and European parts of the city. Very advantageous price. On board they offer coffee and hot tea. Advisable to do it at night to better admire the attractions but watch out for the cold

Our First Time in Istanbul - Our recent trip to Istanbul was our first, and we wanted to share our experience to help future travelers to Turkey. For us, Istanbul turned out to be quite expensive, much more so than we had anticipated. We were staying in a tourist-heavy area, so that might have contributed to the higher prices, but it was still a bit of a shock. There are many heavy smokers in Istanbul. On the positive side, the landscape and scenery in Istanbul are absolutely stunning. The city's blend of modernity and history is awe-inspiring, and the public transportation system, including the trains and trams, was superb. It's very easy to get around and explore the city. However, when it comes to food, we were somewhat disappointed. We were expecting the rich flavors that we often enjoy in Germany at Turkish restaurants, but many of the dishes we had in Istanbul didn't meet our expectations. The taste was often off, and a few times the food was completely different from what we thought we'd be getting. Back home in Germany, we have access to fantastic Turkish food at reasonable prices, so perhaps our standards were set high. One experience that stood out – and not in a good way – was almost having my wallet stolen. Pickpocketing is unfortunately common in touristy areas. Last but not least, beware of the taxi drivers there. They are not honest.
