Reviews: Istanbul: Bosphorus Sunset Cruise with Drinks & Snack
Guest User2026-02-03
It's a very pleasant experience with friendly and attentive staff. They take you all along the Bosphorus while you watch the scenery change at sunset. It's an indoor tour, but you can go out onto the terrace whenever you like. There are restrooms, drinks, and more. Without a doubt, it's excellent value for money. I would book it again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Istanbul.

Arif was an incredible guide! Everything was so interesting that I wanted to keep listening. He's very friendly and answers your questions without any problem. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Arif. It was a wonderful tour.
Reviews: Istanbul E-pass: Top Attractions with Skip-the-Line Access
Guest User2026-01-08
Overall, we had a really nice experience in gorgeous Istanbul and we were very happy with the pass. It offers a great variety and good value considering the number of attractions included. We also took advantage of some discounts included in the package. I’d also like to highlight how excellent the customer support was: always very reactive, fast and helpful whenever I had a question. You should be aware that the "guided" part of the visits is very short and simple, and is mainly used to skip the line: if you are interested in learning more, you must be willing to do it independently (it is still possible to access personal guides at discounted prices, but we haven't tried it). The web platform is well-designed and easy to use. So overall, I rate the service positively and would purchase it again.
Reviews: Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace & Harem Skip-the-Line Entry
Guest User2026-01-05
A beautiful, well-preserved palace with excellent views of the Bosphorus. Easily accessible by public transport. It's highly recommended to buy tickets in advance to avoid queuing. Bring headphones to listen to the audio guide on your phone. The audio guide provided by the tour operator doesn't match the numbers on the palace signs.
Reviews: Istanbul Bosphorus: 3-Hour Day Cruise's with Asian Side Stop
Guest User2026-02-09
Operator shared the boat name and boarding info through WhatsApp. Staff was friendly and introduced the attractions as we pass by. Complementary hot tea and cookies. Overall amazing experience! The cruise was absolutely worth it. Beautiful views, relaxing atmosphere, and very well organized. Seeing Istanbul from the water gives you a completely different perspective. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!
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.
