Bought the tickets for 2 online and the bus driver accepted the proof of purchase from my phone. The driver was really driving with caution due to the rain. All were helpful to accommodate visitors. Thanks

Stops were interesting. You should add where the location is of each stop by doing the qr code. I am referring to Istanbul hop on hop off bus.

Learn about Constantinople's landmarks from the comfort of your double-decker bus with an audio guide in ten languages. You'll visit Sultanahmet Square, better known as the 'Hippodrome of Constantinople.' Next, you can feast your eyes on sweeping views of the Dolmabahçe Palace and its unique blend of Greek, Roman, Turkish and Arabesque styles. Of course, no trip to Turkey would be complete without marveling at the beating heart of modern Istanbul: Taksim Square. With plenty of restaurants, shops and nightclubs nearby, make use of this guided bus tour's hop-on-hop-off feature to explore the area at your leisure.
