    What a beautiful day at the Dolmabahce Palace. It was amazing to see such a historical dwelling with extraordinary grounds. The chandeliers were breathtaking. We enjoyed our day even though it rained a bit. Such an interesting place ot discover.

    Absolutely fantastic from start to finish, getting the balloon ready, the ease of navigation skimming the cave tops to ascending into the heavens to see the sunrise and also a thank you to the burly guys who helped us in and out of the basket, quite a challenge when you're older, everything working like a well oiled clock!

    It is an incredible visit, it has exceeded all my expectations, impossible to miss this visit, the best of Istanbul. The cruise is fantastic, it skirts the entire European and Asian coast, passes under the 2 impressive bridges, a total success, I will return to do it in summer.

    We loved the Palace tour. There was so much history to see. Our only issue was that we had two sets of information about the cruise. We thought it was within walking distance of the Palace but we ended up having to take the tram to a different location. A heads up about that would have been appreciated. We did like having the audio tour for the cruise and loved seeing the different buildings and learning about the history that took place along the river.

    Amazing hosts the guide was really informative about the surroundings area as we travelled to the islands. The islands were beautiful and lovely place to walk. I think there wasn't much time on the second island but it was fine. The entertainment on the way back was great and everyone had loads of fun!!
