Visited on a weekday morning and it was not crowded. It’s a place with a long history (you can’t really tell and also honestly, it isn’t all that important) and the elderly couple managing the place was very welcoming to foreign tourists. The bathing was performed by a lovely lady from Indonesia and it was relaxing to say the least. Lastly, this activity would be “cheaper” if purchased via the Klook Pass

What an amazing experience! You absolutely must try a traditional Turkish bath in this historic building if you visit Turkey! Ladies, please note that even if you ask them not to scrub your face, they will wash your hair, and when rinsing, they'll pour water over your head quite generously. If this concerns you, it's best to schedule it as the last activity of the day, so you can go straight back to your hotel and sleep after getting clean. We purchased the 60-minute experience, and after a full day of walking up and down hills in Istanbul, the Turkish bath combined with a massage felt incredibly therapeutic. It's definitely worth trying!

The journey from Istanbul to Cannakale is quite long (4 hr) each way. No breakfast/dinner is provided, but driver will stop mid-journey for breakfast/dinner break. The tour guide - Ms. Cindi is very knowledgeable. She brought us through the history of Troy with humour and highlight interesting facts. There is a small museum shop near the entrance that worth checking out.

Balat & Fener was a last-minute addition to our Istanbul itinerary, and we're so glad we decided to go! We were running a little late because our Grab driver dropped us at the wrong location, but Mr. Yunus patiently guided us over the phone and made sure we found the meeting point without any issues. This tour introduced us to a completely different side of Istanbul. Walking through the colorful neighbourhoods, visiting the historic Greek School, beautiful churches, and charming streets gave us a deeper appreciation of the city's rich multicultural heritage. Do be prepared for a good uphill hike—comfortable walking shoes are a must, and it may not be suitable for those with weak knees or limited mobility. Mr. Yunus was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the history and significance of every stop clearly. It was a wonderful and memorable excursion, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore beyond the usual tourist attractions.

This pass was super convenient and saved me a lot of time. I didn’t have to queue for ticket just scan the QR code and walk in. The only attraction that required meeting up with a guide was Topkapi Palace. The main queues were for the security check and the museum section inside the palace. Overall, it made sightseeing much easier.

I joined the tour alone, and the guide was very kind and considerate, checking in on me to make sure I was okay and having fun. They also taught me how to take great photos with the mosque in the background and took pictures for me. The guide was excellent, providing detailed explanations of historical facts and background. Lunch was a delicious Istanbul specialty, including dessert, and I was completely full! I was thoroughly satisfied with both the guide and the lunch restaurant. Thank you very much.
