I loved! one of the best attractions I had during my long journey. Easy access to platform and get ticket. Bus at its point such as it was indicated. I loved We could go down without pressure of being hurry because the bus left. Meet many people from different sites in the same bus, other we could meet in other points again because of your cycling system. Sad I couldnt complete the day tour because of my flights but it was perfect to do something different out of the airports environment. Money very well paid!!

Booked onto the red tour and were initially told that 2 stops were closed due to a football match taking place. However at the point where the routes diverge we ended up on the blue tour. It seemed that the rest of the red tour was shut. Having spoken to the guides at the end of the trip they extended our ticket for the next day so that we could actually do the tour we wanted. Full marks for customer service.

Despite a very slow and rocky start, I did enjoy the tour once it got going. There were plenty of buses and tour narrative was good. I started my tour in the AM at Galataport. There was a problem with one of the buses. I waited 1 hour for a new bus, some waited 2 hours. The crew gave little info as to what was going on. The communication and language barrier was very frustrating

It was a ok tour, nothing id do again. The bus windows downstairs were extremely dirty so had to use a tiny open window to get a few pics... so that was very disappointing

I really loved the tour; the only downside was that I couldn't open the window to take some decent photos.

Headphone tour was very informative. The ride is long so start early if you wish to make multiple stops.
