Reviews/Trip Moments

Reviews: Istanbul: Bosphorus Sunset Cruise with Drinks & Snack
Guest User2026-02-24
Everything was great, the ship was comfortable, there weren't many tourists, so it was very relaxing. The food and drink options included a soft drink of your choice, water, cookies, and a fruit platter. Was it worth the extra cost? Probably not. But it's worth buying a ticket without food. Everything was great.

Reviews: Guided Bosphorus Cruise, Pierre Loti Hill, Golden Horn Bus Tour. All Tickets, Small Group

The meeting point was easy to find and Mr Baki is punctual. I like it when he gives us brief informations about historical sites along the way. Which, we didn't get from other travel agents. Even we are in small group. He still makes sure that we can hear his explanations clearly by using the microphone. Appreciate that very much. Mr Baki, till we meet again, would love you to bring us around. Maybe in another city of Turkiye.
Reviews: Bursa & Uludag Mountain from Istanbul W/ Pickup&Lunch Optional Cable Car -Teleferik Ticket
Guest User2026-01-27
A fairly standard trip. Having spent too much time in Istanbul and nowhere to go, I decided to try this tour. The driver picked me up from the hotel around 8 AM and didn't arrive back until 11 PM, a very long time – basically half the day was spent in the car. The first stop was a motocross ride near Yalova (optional, at your own expense). If you didn't ride, you'd just have to wait there; there was no scenery to speak of. The second stop was a candy shop – ridiculously expensive, we only stayed for an hour. The third stop was a visit to a large tree – another standard attraction, offering a panoramic view of Bursa. The fourth stop was lunch. The fifth stop was a mountaintop ride with a cable car (optional, not included in the tour price). If you didn't ride, you'd just have to wait there. The sixth stop was a cable car ride from the top of the mountain to the bottom (included in the tour price), the scenery was quite nice. The seventh stop was visiting two churches in Bursa, and then we returned to Istanbul, concluding the trip. Overall, there aren't any particularly special sights, especially since the entire day is essentially a bus tour if you don't participate in the optional excursions. The biggest highlight is the cable car ride down the mountain at the end. I wouldn't recommend making a special trip for it; it's only suitable for people like me who have been in Istanbul for too long and have nowhere else to go. Also, if you do choose to participate, be sure to bring your own food. The tour only provides lunch around 3 PM; from 8 AM to 11 PM, you'll have to fend for yourself, as prices at the tourist attractions are shockingly high. Personally, I still really enjoyed it because I'd never seen snow before, and the snow-covered scenery on the mountain was absolutely stunning.
Reviews: Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace & Harem Skip-the-Line Entry
Guest User2026-02-25
Absolutely amazing! The tour and audio guide were fantastic. The palace itself left a lasting impression. We spent three hours in the museum, and the time flew by. A must-see when in Istanbul.

Great tour! We were the only Russian speakers, and they provided a dedicated guide who explained everything!
