Easier on Your Own

lindadetlefsen, Aug 2018

A walk through the spice bazaar, a ride on a boat, a lunch, and entry into a palace site. There was a little guide commentary, but nothing unique or even very interesting. And I didn’t appreciate being presented to a spice salesman for a pitch.

This tour is a great value! You...

This tour is a great value! You visit a number of different locations, including a cruise down the Bosphorus, and even get Lunch. The guide was full of information, and very enthusiastic. I would have like to have some more time to explore things on my own, but with so much to do, there really wasn't time.

Thank you very much, we would like to see you again.

The pick up at our Doubletree Hilton...

The pick up at our Doubletree Hilton hotel downtown Europe side was prompt. Our family was the only ones on the bus. We first went to the Spice market and my husband bought 300 worth of saffron, Turkish coffee, tea for all ailments, peppermint, the best assorted Turkish delights and scarf. Then we boarded a big boat with indoor seating and outdoor upstairs to cruise the Bosphorus. There were no free drinks or food on the cruise but we were taken to a restaurant later with a beautiful view. The Dolmabahce Palace Asian side is a must see.

Very enjoyable tour. Our guide Tuva was a pleasant company and very knowledgeable with Turkish history. She spiced her commentaries with anecdotes about contemporary life in Istanbul.
