The disappointment was...

Savitha_R, Apr 2026

The disappointment was real. Not with the places but the whole process of redeeming the tickets, communication and losing over an hour trying to set things right. The email did not match the tickets we booked , the meeting points were different and it took over half an hour of trying on the phone before we finally managed to get in touch with Istanbul Tour Pass on Whatsapp. After which things eased. But it was a frustrating start to the morning.
