Convinient way to see some key tourist spots and buildings. It gave us opportunity to stay in some areas as long as we wanted to or less than usual,and then just pop back on the next bus. Also the audio provides some basic information about key buildings.

We love this experience, we see some of the most important sights in Instabul and we found explaining in greeks that you doesn't say that it was included and the greeks as language.. We had the combo with the boat and was a very nice experience bothering.

The tour is very good. But the traffic is horrible and sometimes the narration of the sites goes ahead of the route. You have to "reset" the narration and follow the route.

    The double decker bus was good. A better map would be good so we can tell where we are. It was tricky to know exactly what the commentary was about at times.

    The rather long tour, gives an insight into Istanbul, the different historical neighborhoods, the history and how quickly it is changing.

    Staff were helpful. Since the traffic was busy then it would have been great if the timings were longer - ie if the buses could extend their coverage period - ie suggest 8am > 7pm would be perfect. That way then your guests may be able to reach some attractions ahead of their opening time to take advantage of early morning quiet times - eg my children are already up at 7am every day and I guess many families are also in similar routine. Thank you.
