Top Istanbul Bus Tours - page 2

We had an absolutely amazing Walking Tour thanks to our guide Eylem. What made the experience so great is how Knowledgeable Eylem is, she explained lots of historic details that we wouldnt have learned otherwise, you can tell how passionate she is about the history of her country. She didnt rush us at any of the sites, and catered the tour to our needs, offering options and alternatives based on our preferences. It didnt feel like we had a tour guide, it felt like we had a really good friend with amazing energy and an awesome personality. If you can request Eylem to be your guide, please do, you wont regret it! 🫶

This 2-day experience in Cappadocia was exceptional. Coming from Mexico and the United States, I was initially apprehensive about the language and cultural differences, but Bellaturca made us feel completely safe, comfortable, and well cared for from start to finish. Every detail of the trip was flawlessly coordinated. From the pickup at our hotel in Istanbul to our return the following day, the logistics were seamless and professional. The quality of every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations, from the transportation and accommodations to the excellent lunches included during the tour. The sites themselves were fascinating, and the guides provided informative, balanced, and engaging historical context. I especially appreciated that they clearly distinguished between documented history, local legends, and cultural traditions, which made the experience both educational and authentic. The traditional breakfast at the cave hotel was amazing and delicious! What impressed me most was the company's attention to detail and genuine commitment to its guests. I was traveling with my mother, who is almost 84 years old. Although she is very active, the guides went out of their way to accommodate her needs and ensure that she could fully enjoy every part of the trip. Their kindness, patience, and professionalism made a lasting impression on us. The cultural richness of Cappadocia is remarkable, and it was inspiring to see the pride that local people take in preserving and sharing their heritage. That passion was evident throughout the tour. A special thank you to Ahmed, who was exceptionally kind, professional, and attentive. He made us feel safe and welcome throughout the journey. He also arranged our hot air balloon ride, which became one of the highlights of our entire holiday. While there are many companies offering balloon experiences, having Ahmed coordinate everything made the process effortless. We simply enjoyed the experience while Bellaturca handled all the details. I highly recommend Bellaturca to anyone planning a visit to Cappadocia. The region is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, but having outstanding guides and impeccable logistics makes all the difference. Bellaturca delivered an experience that exceeded our expectations and created memories that my mother and I will cherish for years to come.

We really enjoyed this tour. There were around 12 people which was a nice sized group. Charlie the tour guide was exceptional, very knowledgeable and engaging. It was a long day so having a great tour guide was essential in making this a day to remember.

Turkan, our private tour guide, made the tour very special and shecustomized it to our desires. We saw Hippodrome - Chariot races and Obelisks, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Gülhane (National Park) - The private courtyard of the palace. Then we went to the Spice Market, where she showed us the best places to buy spices, tea, and coffee. We ended up eating lunch in a local restaurant Ocakbaşı, which was fabulous.

Can was our guide. He was punctual and spoke excellent English. He was knowledgeable about the city in which he grew up and took us to areas which we would most likely have missed if not on the tour. He was open to our questions and at the end of the tour he asked us about our plans and offered suggestions and restaurant recommendations. I really enjoyed the time I spent with Can and learned several new things about Istanbul.

We had the best guide ever, for our 2 day tour of Istanbul. Kenan was the ultimate guide for our private tour. Professional, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. I would love to do another tour with him. Be prepared for a lot of walking. We did over 20000 steps the first day. A hat, or umbrella, comfortable footwear, sunscreen, and water are a must. We were there in late April, and it was quite warm.

Ali was an AMAZING guide. We never felt rushed and he tailored the tour based on what we were most interested in. He is a wealth of information and a joy to be around. We learned so much about the country of Turkey in general, in addition to the sites we visited. I highly recommend him and this tour.

This was a fabulous tour of some of the less-travelled areas of Istanbul (Fener and Balat) as well as the spice market and portions of the Grand Bazaar. We were the only people on the tour so our guide, Mohammed was able to make a few modifications to accommodate my wife who uses a car. He was very knowledgeable about the history of this area of the city, the peoples who once lived there and the architecture. The tour also included the Greek Orthodox Cathedral, the spice market and areas around the Grand Bazaar. I would highly recommend this tour
