Istanbul for first-timers

It was really nice, a good duration, and a very good atmosphere on the boat. Admittedly, you don't see much of the Golden Horn, but on the other hand, for the Bosphorus, it was great. The boat goes very far up the strait and you get a great view. All along the way, you can admire the landscape with commentary (not in French, unfortunately) in English, Turkish, and Spanish, while sipping a drink or eating something. A musical atmosphere interspersed with commentary, and you won't see the time pass.

Absolutely great—the driver was fantastic and took really good care of us. We had the bus all to ourselves, which was nice. Very welcoming—I highly recommend it. Thanks again for everything.

Michael was a great guide. I would have liked to be able to pick up our tickets for the palace and the boat tour that morning. In the morning, we had to follow the guide to enter the different parts of the palace. For the boat tickets, we had to go somewhere else entirely. We didn’t have the address of the new location where we were supposed to pick up the tickets. There was a serious lack of clarity and detail.

Beautiful, but the stay on the islands is short and the ferry is slow. The lunch was also meager and its timing was inconvenient.
