Such a nice city! So many things to do, so many things to see!! We had an incredible day in Istanbul.. I wish we stayed longer there! Morning flights, the time schedule was on point. We toured the city around with a very knowledgeable guide. My favourite part was Sultanahmet square. There are many things to see there, all of them extremely important. We also went to the bazaar, it was an amazing experience. It was my first time in a bazaar, wow. The city is completely different from any other Turkish city, really interesting place. 100% recommended!
The agency did a perfect organization! Our day went so smooth, we had fun, it was informative, it was exciting. Bravo!! We visited several places in Istanbul. We went to museums, palaces, mosques. The people are very nice and the feelings you get are indescribable. Food was super tasty!!! I also want to thank our guide for recommending to us a cruise in Bosporus. It was extra but still 100% worthy. Went there as a couple and really enjoyed our cruise. Just don’t arrange anything for the next day coz the flights are during the night and we felt a bit tired. In general, the day trip is excellent.
What a fascinating excursion that was! Everything was made easy for us as I knew that visiting Istanbul and touring around would be a bit of inconvenient. But, I was wrong! The guide was one of the best highlights of this tour.
