The night tour was a truly magnificent experience. The city lights, the unique view of the Bosphorus, and the historical beauties take on a completely different beauty in the night atmosphere. 🚌🌉 The organization of the tour, the attention, and the quality of service were also really successful. It's a wonderful tour that everyone visiting Istanbul should definitely experience. I will definitely join again. Thanks a lot for everything❤️🇹🇷

The open-top bus tour I took was absolutely wonderful! We toured Istanbul while the city was beautifully lit up, with no traffic at all. Watching the sunset, crossing from Asia to Europe, and seeing two continents from the Bosphorus Bridge as the sun was setting was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to everyone! Istanbul’s open-top bus tour with Duru and Hopa Hopla was amazing!
