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.

Thoroughly enjoyed my Balat & Fener walk with Yunus. He made the whole experience so well paced and manageable especially that one hike up the hill. He was also so knowledgeable about the history and very relatable as well. Made for a fun and active day!! Thanks Yunus!!!

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.

We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Bursa and Uludağ, and it was made truly special thanks to our very accommodating tour guide, Mr. Mohammad. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the region. He ensured our journey was smooth, comfortable, and well-organized. In Bursa, we enjoyed exploring the beautiful historical sites, vibrant markets, and delicious local cuisine. The breathtaking views and fresh mountain air in Uludağ were unforgettable. We highly recommend visiting Bursa and Uludağ, especially with such a dedicated and thoughtful guide. Thank you, Mr. Mohammad, for making our trip so memorable!

Our tour guide Omar was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.He explained everything in detail.Only that we couldn’t visit Basilica Cistern as it was closed for some maintenance work wasn’t good about the trip.Rest Istanbul is very beautiful.
