I came to Istanbul alone and wanted to travel to the most essential places in a short period of time with the most reasonable time and cost. I used this guide program and I am very satisfied. First of all, the guide, Burak, sent me a reminder text message about the meeting place the day before, and he arrived early in the morning and was able to quickly complete the schedule. Burak is very knowledgeable about Ottoman and Roman history, and he provided rich storytelling even when moving between tour locations, and he explained everything I was curious about without hesitation. Above all, I felt his passion for his guiding work, and he carefully considered recommending food and places that would be helpful for my travel itinerary. I highly recommend Burak's guided tour!

the agency planned very well everything. since it was my first time using agency to travel and also with my mom, I was worried but at the end trip was well organised, as per the schedule driver picked up, flights were arranged well with meal. one thing could improve would be tour guide and more explanation about the places and locations we are going through. but all good and value for money (much convenient way to see things in short period)

Participated in this tour while traveling in Istanbul. Putting the tour review aside for a moment, I first want to commend the exceptional service provided by the Operations Manager, who is also the co-owner of the organizing company, bellaturca.com. The 2-day tour itinerary covered almost all of the major tourist attractions in Goreme, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tour guide was friendly, and I was satisfied with the lunch, which allowed me to fully enjoy Turkish cuisine. If I had to nitpick, I would only regret my lack of English proficiency (lol). I opted for the early morning hot air balloon tour option the day after my stay, and this is a must-do when you come to Cappadocia. I would recommend the actual experience to others. As for the tour price, I'm not sure what the standard is, but I had a great experience participating through Klook.

The Bosphorus Cruise was truly a magical experience. Sailing between Europe and Asia while watching Istanbul unfold from the water was unforgettable. The views of historic palaces, mosques, and charming waterfront houses were breathtaking, especially as the light reflected off the strait. It was peaceful, scenic, and deeply enriching—an experience that beautifully captures the soul of Istanbul. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

Escape the hustle and bustle of Istanbul with a boat trip to the islands. Step ashore and immerse yourself in the slow-paced island life, strolling leisurely through the charming streets. Both island stops offer free time for independent exploration. Spend half a day walking around, or rent a bicycle and explore the island at your own pace for a truly unique experience.

love the princes island and Buyukada island tour. I am very surprised that the tour guide that picked me up from the hotel, turns out he brought us to the ship and they drove the ship I’m impressed, and it was very fun to be on the ship, very party music. I particularly like the Buyukada island, very chill with lots of shops and restaurants and groceries shop. I wish I can have more time at Buyukada.
