FamilyVerified bookingJun 20265/5Clean bus, friendly and welcoming staff. Smooth ride, excellent city tour route.GGwyneth W
CoupleVerified bookingMay 20264/5Booked 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.ZZhanat A
CoupleVerified bookingMay 20265/5All was good, very informative trip around of Istanbul city!JJeffrey L
CoupleVerified bookingMay 20264/5Despite 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 frustratingRRaquel B
