We enjoyed it very much. I booked one day before, because our excursion got canceled last minute. I recieved a kind message with all the information about schedules etc. Very clear. On the day of the excursion everything goes as expected. What a great way to enjoy this city. I've been to Istanbul before, but saw new placed and it's very easy to hop on and off. Especially since we knew the timeschedule. Every bus we went back om eas on time. We had a great day. I recommend

If we had realised the palaces where closed on a Monday we would have postponed it to another day. Catching the bus after 2pm back to the starting point is not a good idea due to traffic. Bus was comfortable aircon was working, staff were friendly. After 6pm was a nice ride around the coast back to the starting point

Easy online booking. I sat upstairs on the bus to get the best views of the places described in the comprehensive commentary. Smooth safe journey around this amazing city of Istanbul steeped in history while also embracing the future. A wonderful way to gain an appreciation of the formation of the city based on the rich history described during the audio tour. The bus was new, clean and comfortable and the whole team were very friendly and helpful.
