Review for: T3A, Join-In Tour with Hotel Pick-up

Wonderful tour guide explained everything with great detail. Timing was right. Visited the sites during a low season so we felt we were receiving a private tour. Crowds at sightseeing areas was understandable. Enjoyed snacks from places Pierre Loti, Ferry, and try some snacks from Turkish Delight. Great pictures. Memorable chat with the tour guide.

Review for: T3A, Join-In Tour with Hotel Pick-up

The transportation was late on the same day! But the tour guide told me 10 minutes in advance that it was acceptable! However, our tour guide was a bit irresponsible. The introduction in the car was very casual, and because he told us before the trip that he was traveling with young children, he did not provide any help at all along the way! When I arrived at the cable car station that day, the elevator at the cable car station was broken. The tour guide said that he would help carry the stroller, but he disappeared. There was a long queue for the cable car, but the ride time was only about 3 minutes! Very dumbfounded! The tour guide was almost 5-10 minutes late for the specified gathering time. In the end, he even added a shopping stop (which was not included in the itinerary at all). Although there was no forced shopping, the whole trip felt very bad along the way. Not recommended!

Review for: Istanbul Bosphorus & Balat Half-Day Small Group Tour

It was okayish . More time is required at sultan ayub mosque so we could at least pray 2 rakat nafil. We came all the way to see sultan ayub and spend hardly 10 to 15 minutes maximum there which was not enough . The guide took us to Turkish delight shop . They offered sample tea and a piece of a delight and after that they constantly kept insisting to purchase from their shop by saying " Give me your Money " , " Take out your Money " " why you are not taking out your money " etc which was making us embarrass as we didn't wish to purchase from them. They were quiet expensive as compare to the market . Company needs to improve the tour itanery by showing the places properly. For balat and Pierre loti hills we were taken to the center place only for 10 to 20 minutes max .

Itinerary was an icing only. The guide does not follow the itinerary accordingly. They bring us to leather shop n others shop which was not in our schedule. very disappointed we could not visit the tomb of Eyup Sultan because of the limited time given n much more spent on leather shop which not in our schedule!
