    Untrustworthy - lied about pickup

    Upuli_d, Jul 2025
    My mother has major difficulty walking. I booked this tour because it said we would be picked up and dropped off on a vehicle. We got a message saying that we would be contacted 5 minutes before the vehicle arrived at our hotel. The person arrived, but there was no vehicle in sight. He told us his vehicle got a fine so he couldn’t use it. My mum had to walk from the hotel to the dock with great difficulty. We asked the staff about it, they changed the original story and said that because the hotel was close there was no vehicle pick up. Clearly there were many lies told to us, and misrepresentation from the company. No apologies, just rudeness from the staff. Terrible experience. Not recommended at all when there are so many more to choose from.

    Awesome experience

    That was an awesome trip! The breakfast was legit. Seriously delicious. They make also a stop for 1 hour on Asia side.

    Evening trip back was amazing

    The lights of Istanbul were amazing. Well organised & enjoyed by everyone on the boat. Well worth it

    It was great to...

    It was excellent the experience the guide knows a lot, cookies were delicious and tea at will. They also stopped to shop in the Asian part if they wanted to. I was with another group who did another tour and I did a lot more things, except the return transfer

    Obwohl Kaffee als Inklusivleistung angegeben wurde musste man ihn bezahlen. Ebenso war kein free WiFi vorhanden. Rücktransport zum Hotel war ebenso nicht so wie angegeben. Wir wurden vorher abgesetzt und mussten den Rest zu Fuss gehen. Der Hinweis mit der Erklärung zu Fort Rumil bei der Beschreibung war ebenso nicht vorhanden.
