Awesome ferry ride. Was not expecting this level of awesomeness from just a simple boat ride. for those who wish to experience both Europe and Asia side, this ride is for you. But bring a jacket though as it gets very windy. Overall, POWEEEEER!

Our Ancient Troy tour was like a journey back in time 🫶🏼walking through the ancient ruins, hearing the stories of Troy, the Trojan War, and the people who once lived there made me appreciate history in a different way. The journey from Istanbul was long, but absolutely worth it. Our guide made the experience more meaningful with the stories, history, and little details. I’m so greatful that we took the time to visit Troy! 😊

Our guide Mr Baris is very knowledgeable and helpful. He shared a lot about the history of the places. However, as it’s a walking tour, it is quite tiring especially for those a little older. Nonetheless a good tour to began with at Istanbul.

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.

We had a wonderful tour of Istanbul, exploring its beautiful sites and magnificent mosques. Our guide, Batu, was well-versed on Istanbul’s history, he was professional and friendly, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. In the evening, we enjoyed a 2-hr boat ride around the Bosphorus River. We truly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul! We were also picked up and dropped off to our hotel which was very convenient.

This was the best sightseeing tour during my 4-day Istanbul itinerary! The Bosphorus Strait cruise tour lasted about 1 hour and 40 minutes. It was the best choice, offering great value for money and an amazing experience. You definitely won't regret it! :)

The operator was organized. They messaged us ahead of time to ask for itinerary. The driver was punctual, and had a good sense of humor. He suggested a local restaurant which was so good.

When demand peaks and when it eases

The busiest month is December, which means higher demand and a busier atmosphere with tighter availability on popular dates.

For travellers who want to avoid crowds, plan for March when demand is at its lowest and availability tends to be more relaxed.
