Many travel agencies in Istanbul offer island tours, but we are truly different! Most tours claim to visit 2 or 3 islands just to make the itinerary look attractive, but these extra stops are a waste of time and leave guests feeling like they’ve just taken a long boat ride without guide and nothing special to do. The only island truly worth visiting is Büyükada, and that’s exactly where we focus. With us, you won’t waste time on unnecessary stops—instead, you’ll enjoy real time on the island, exploring its beauty and atmosphere the right way. Büyükada is the crown jewel of the Princes’ Islands, famous for its peaceful car-free streets, historic Ottoman mansions, pine-covered hills, and stunning sea views. While many travelers who take standard tours come back saying there’s nothing to do on the islands, our guests say the opposite—because we take the experience one step further with an ısland shuttle vehicle tour that brings the island’s history, culture, and hidden corners to life.

Denise_A, Jun 2026

Go on tour with Göksu! He was the best.

Göksu was an amazing tour guide, he tailored it to our group so we were able to see things that weren't on the itinerary. His English was very good, and he was very patient with our group as we had 4 children ages 7-11 with us. He was very knowledgeable and open to all conversations about Türkiye so we learned a lot about the area and the culture and we ate at the best restaurant for lunch. We also travelled very comfortably with our group of 10 in a private van and didn't feel like we were sitting too close to each other. We definitely recommend this tour.

Full, Interesting day!

We had a wonderful day with Sabit. His knowledge and passion for his job made the city's rich history understandable and interesting. We especially enjoyed the Topkapi Palace Museum- learning about life in the palace and seeing the Spoonmaker's Diamond. Also, the city views from the palace were amazing. Secondly, we found the Basilica Cistern so interesting! The engineering of it alone is mind blowing! Be prepared for a lot of walking. It's a full day, but well worth it!

We ate such a variety of food it was a rich cultural experience on food culture and history of Istanbul. Mussels, pickle juice, baklave, kebaps to mention such a dew delights. Very nice group aswell.

First Class, Beautiful Experience. It’s a MUST!

This was an absolutely flawless experience, not to mention it was stunningly spectacular to see the fairy chimneys at sunrise. Discovery was first class all the way. The pilot Mulshin and his team were so professional and we felt so safe. The champagne toast at the end was the perfect way to end our experience. Book with Discovery.

What a wonderful way to experience Istanbul

Three day tour will give you a great introduction to this massive city and the richness it has to offer. Make sure you register for a trip with optional private transportation between sites. Ozan (Ozzie) our guide couldn’t have done a better job guiding us through the complexity of the city; from restaurants to historical sites and which museum to spend time at with all the details about each place that we visited. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. He catered very much to your speed and what you are trying to get out of the trip and adjusts the itinerary accordingly. Since our group has returners but also first timer Ozzie was able to create something that works for everyone. The private transfer was very much appreciated. In hot weather an A/C minivan is the way to do it. Plus the fact that only locals know how to efficiently maneuver the always congested streets of the city. Ask for Ozzie, he knows how to make the trip work for you, whether you are a cruise passenger with limited amount of time, or if you are planning a week or two in the region. If you are interested in advance level deep dive, such as wine tasting of the region (Turkey has amazing wines) or food tour of local cuisine, Ozzie can help too.

Ugurcan was an awesome guide! So knowledgeable and passionate. I could chat with him for hours. Your guide will make up a huge part of the value & outcome of your experience.

We had the best time on our tour. Typhoon was so knowledgeable and you could tell he truly loved sharing information about his country.

So worth it! Book this company!

This was the most magical experience we’ve ever had! I am terrified of heights but felt incredibly safe the entire time. It is so much smoother than you expect it to be and the pilots are very skilled. The one thing with booking this is that the price is very deceiving and it would be nice if they put it down first. We got lucky and were able to go up first try! Could not recommend this tour more! This company also has a prettier ballon than most others.

Excellent tour with an amazing guide

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Emre. He was incredibly organized, making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Knowledgeable of the area, history, and local culture, Emre shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. On top of that, he had a great sense of humor, keeping the group entertained and engaged the entire time. His enthusiasm and professionalism made the experience truly memorable. I would highly recommend Emre to anyone looking for an enjoyable and informative tour!

The best day.

Absolutely fantastic. Ozzy was our guide. He had so much history and local information and answered all our questions. We had extra time so he took us to a weaving center to learn about Turkish handmade rugs and a leather shop. It was really one of the highlights of our tour of Greek islands. Even recommended where to try the best Turkish ice cream.

Great value, good experience

The night views on the river were beautiful, the food was good (wait staff was excellent), the entertainment was fun with a lot of variety in the dancing - they performed many times and there were live musicians as well. The only mild complaint was that since the dancers were in the middle and not on an elevated stage it was hard to get a good view of the performance. Overall a very enjoyable experience and a great evening.

Jesse_M, Jun 2026

Great cultural sites to view but be weary of construction and crowds

Great experience and tour guide who was always visible and made sure the entire group was accounted for (trust me when you have that many tourists and tour groups it can be very overwhelming in popular cultural attractions such as Blue and Hagia. One thing I did not expect his how much repair/construction going on inside and around both mosques and how much of the internal structures were off limits (which I totally get as they are active worship sites for people who actually live there). Crowd can be overwhelming and have a negative impact on all facets of the experience
