A brilliant way for first time visitors to orientate your way about the vast City of Istanbul and the commentary is good. Once you have completed the first circuit you get to realise how close the major sights are to each other. .......and because of Istanbul's heavy traffic it is quicker to walk between sights sometimes. The bus does seem to stop for long intervals at some stops presumably to keep in line with the published timetable. I would recommend at least a day pass and then once you have a first sighting of where everything is you can pretty much get around by yourself OR try to tackle the City's Tram/Metro system!

The trip was amazing, we got a perfect view of all the attractions and our team had the privilege of learning so much about the city through the audio. My favorite was definitely when we crossed the bridge to the Asian side of Turkey. The views were beautiful!!😍

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour in Istanbul, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable highlights of my trip. The day started with clear skies and a gentle breeze – perfect weather for sightseeing. From the moment I boarded the open-top double-decker bus, I knew I was in for a treat. The panoramic views of Istanbul’s iconic skyline, the Bosphorus Bridge, and centuries-old mosques were simply breathtaking. One of the biggest advantages of the tour was the flexibility it offered. I could hop off at key landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Dolmabahçe Palace, and the vibrant Taksim Square, explore at my own pace, and then hop back on to continue the journey. The audio guide was informative and added a rich layer of history and context to each site, enhancing the experience even more. Yes, some stops – especially Sultanahmet – were understandably crowded, but the energy of the city and the buzz of curious travelers only added to the charm. Despite the crowds, the bus staff were professional and helpful, making the logistics seamless. What made the day truly special was the unique perspective the tour provided. Istanbul is a city of layers, and viewing it from the top of the bus, gliding past minarets and palaces while crossing continents, gave me a fresh appreciation for its beauty and complexity. If you're visiting Istanbul for the first time, or even if you're returning and want a relaxed way to take in the city, I highly recommend the Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour. It’s not just a ride – it’s a journey through time, culture, and the heartbeat of this extraordinary city.

Not so easy to book as if you didn't book online you had to pay cash. No Internet so has to walk and to find your office log into WiFi and then book a ticket online. YOU NEED TO PUT CASH ONLY IF NOT BOOKED ONLINE on your website.

The bus driver's skills were particularly good. Unfortunately, we were mostly stuck in traffic jams.
