What are people saying about Istanbul

Melissa_H, Apr 2026

We had an absolutely...

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our Istanbul food tour! Every single thing we tasted was amazing, but the breakfast was the clear standout. Exploring the Asian side of the city was such a cool experience, and the dishes we tried there were incredibly delicious. Our tour guide was wonderful: knowledgeable, kind, and clearly passionate about the food and culture. We also lucked out with a great group, which made the day even more fun. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Istanbul through its flavors and warm hospitality!

Istanbul Gedikpasa Historical Turkish Bath with Privacy Option

Lindsey_S, Apr 2026

Amazing Experience

This was an amazing experience! We stepped off the street onto a red carpet leading down to a traditional hamami! This is not a hotel spa- it is a historical building with fabulous and attentive staff. The experience was warm and respectful! Wish I was able to go back every day!!

Top Private Cruises in Paris with French Champagne and surprises

Brittany_E, Apr 2026

Must do boat experience!

Absolutely incredible, one of a kind experience. Family run business that treats you like one of their own. Rado (the son) was amazing and meticulously attentive. From the stories, to the history and dialogue with bubbles…everything was perfect. Thank you for so many memories to last!!

Paris: Notre-Dame Cathedral Interior & Ile de la Cité Guided Tour

Karen_J, Apr 2026

Perfect Tour!

Naomi was our guide, and we felt lucky to have her! The tour was just the right pace, doing it with just a small group was so worth it, and the extra feature of the short walk to Notre Dame and learning more about the area a history was really nice. We had been to Paris after the fire, and while restoration was going on, and I’m so glad we were able to see it restored and in its glory! Doing this with a guide is the only way, if you really want to get the best experience! There’s no way to get as much out if it by just going through on your own!

Istanbul Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern with Tickets

Martha_F, Apr 2026

Very good tour, wonderful places

A very positive experience, and everything was easy: from booking to finding the meeting point. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of interesting information during the visit. I took the guided tour with my children, aged 13 and 17, who are not native English speakers, but it was still easy for them to follow the guide and listen to his explanations. Wonderful places.

WONDERS of ISTANBUL: PRIVATE Full-Day Guided City Tour

Cyril_M, Apr 2026

We had an excellent...

We had an excellent one-day guided tour of Istanbul (around 6–7 hours) with Sema, and it truly exceeded our expectations. She was incredibly kind, engaging, and highly knowledgeable—not only about the city’s rich history and major monuments, but also about daily life in Istanbul today. What we particularly appreciated was how flexible and customizable the tour was. It felt very personal, and having a private guide made the entire experience much more enjoyable and relaxed. Sema adapted seamlessly to our interests and answered all of our questions with clarity and enthusiasm. A big advantage was the skip-the-line access she provided. While we still needed to purchase entrance tickets for places like Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern, avoiding the queues saved us a significant amount of time—especially valuable in such a busy city. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a perfect introduction to Istanbul, especially for a first day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an insightful, efficient, and personalized way to explore the city.

Jackie_K, Apr 2026

Definitely reccomend!!

LOVED this! It was a perfect mix of walking, sitting, and tram. Our tour guide was fantastic and did a phenomenal job of sharing information at just the right level and amount. She was patient with our slower walkers and was considerate of the teenagers. We got to experience a wonderful amount of the city in one day and it was beyond perfect! We would absolutely recommend this tour as a way to see most of the sights on the Paris bucket list!

Bosphorus Dinner Cruise with Show and Private Table

Onyinyechukwu_A, Mar 2026

Great experience. Recommend

Great experience, Tasty food, interesting shows during the cruise. Highly recommend. I would not recommend doing the pick-up service as an uber can conveniently get you to the location and you control when you get there and when you leave after the event. Uber from the park Hyatt where we stayed was less than $8 each way. Ulas our server was fantastic. They charge extra to sit by the window, when i purchased via viator, i didn't see that option likely as I booked few hours to the event. Tables are randomly assigned except you paid about 10 euros per person to sit by the window- again i didn't have that option when booking but they apparently contacted me through whatsapp informing me of that additional fees if i wanted window sitting. The photos which their photographers take are 7 euros each. You can and should negotiate lower depending on the number of photos you have .

Paris Seine River Champagne Tasting Cruise

Sharon_P, Mar 2026

Very fun and special activity!

I didn’t really know what to expect from this experience, but it turned out to be fabulous! I surprised my adult daughters with this champagne tasting / river cruise and they all loved it! Jasmina was our sommelier and it was obvious she loves her job teaching people about champagne. She gave just the right amount of information to make it informative, but still allowed us to see Paris as the sun set and everything became illuminated. We had amazing views and photos of the glowing Eiffel Tower. We were in a separate glass enclosed area with about 25 passengers and enjoyed taking our champagne outside to a special area on the front of the boat. It was a very special evening!

Paris Gourmet Dinner Seine River Cruise with Singer and DJ Set

Verna_P, Mar 2026

Great cruise!

This was a great cruise. The staff was very attentive and kind. The food was surprising quite delicious, so were the drinks. The live singer was wonderful and engaged the crowd not leaving anyone out. The DJ set was great as well. The 3 hours was a good amount of time. The views of the Eiffel Tower were epic. Special shout out to Samy who took special care of us. Thanks Sami, Anastasia, DJ, and the entire staff. We had a wonderful time!
