Istanbul Full Day Europe And Asia Sides Tour

It is a long full day so wear comfortable footwear. Bring your charger for your phone because you will be taking photos and videos all day. There are so many different places we visited and our guide was VERY knowledgeable . Helpful and professional. The pickup was on time and the vehicles were very clean and well kept. The drivers were professional and I felt safe with their driving even in traffic. The food at the restaurant they took us to which was included with the tour I chose was great. It was a preselected menu and there was a good variety of food in good portions. They offered water and several other beverage choices. The cruise at the end of the day was the perfect finish to our long day. The weather was good and they served food snacks and beverages and had souvenirs for purchase. The highlight of the cruise was the sunset on the water, it was right out of a movie.

Poorly run tour. We were told to be in front of our hotel by 8:15 for our pickup. After 45 minutes of waiting and texting the tour, a guide arrived and told us to follow for a ten minute walk. No explanation or apology given. The 17 passenger bus had 4 guides speaking 4 languages simultaneously. We told our guide we couldn’t hear him. They could have taken turns talking or used “Whisper” audio devices, but nothing was done. Too many “free” time drops, some in poor locations.

Great tour! Glad we booked it at the last minute because they really show you just about everything. Our tour guide, Batu, was kind and humorous. However, it is quite tiring, so in retrospect, I would have skipped the boat tour at the very end and scheduled that part for another day to get the full benefit from it. FYI, the best WESTERN style bathrooms at the mosques and the restaurants.

A great overview of Istanbul. We visited places that we wouldn’t have gone. Our guide was very informative and friendly.

A great see it all tour. Mahsun is a great knowledgeable and patience guide. The Bosphorus bay sea cruise is too late.

My favourite tour, well worth every penny. Excellent tour guide. Plenty of time given for taking pictures, must go on the cruise at the end

Amazing tour, the sights we saw were incredible, amazing tour guides, would definitely recommend going on this tour.

Excellent tour guide. Very informative and friendly. He knew the history of Istanbul and Turkyie very well. You can tell he enjoys is job.

Excellent communications prior pick up, on time, driver very professional, tranfred to bigger vehicle to do the tour, liked a lot, plenty of for visit the places, lunch very good too, last experiene in the river comfortable too, smooth return to my hotel, very recommended

We did this on our first day and it was very informative and definitely set us up a knowledge of the local areas and how things function. In other words it helped us get our bearings. We chose the pick and drop off at our hotel as this was our first trip to Istanbul.

Great tour. Did all the stops that were listed. Lunch was excellent! Tour started a bit late due to waiting for other guests!

I did the Asian side tour and it was amazing! We visited so many interesting places and got a real feel for the local vibe. Our guides did a fantastic job, they shared lots of fun facts and cultural insights, and I learned a lot throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour if you want to explore a different, more authentic side of Istanbul.

tour provides you with a convenient and comfortable experience by offering facilities such as hotel transfers and lunch. you can focus only on enjoying the beauty of the city.

The views were amazing and our tour guide Cem was also very good. He made the tour very interesting and very informative. Even though it was drizzling, he made sure we enjoyed the tour. I would recommend the tour to any first timer in Istanbul because it covers almost every aspect of the city.

It was a big group which was really hard for the tour leaders to get them together after each place we visited. But they did so good and kept everybody happy :) I only stayed in Istanbul for 1 .5 day and this was the best option for me. The whole crew were amazing!! Highly recommend it.

Very good program. In a limited time, we sensed both Europe and Asia sites and saw magnificent buildings and view. We recommend this program

Always update...driver was never late. The tour was great. Tour guides (English speaking man w/ long hair & a woman) perfectly did their jobs. Bath were patient & courteous. Effective speakers, people listens. People asks and they can answer all queries. Both are pro. Tour was reasonably priced.

Amazing views, great boat trip and amazing guide. 100% recommended. She explained everything so well and answered all questions.

I booked the evening of November 12 for the Wednesday November 13 full day tour, having just arrived in Istanbul for the first time and not wanting to waste a day wondering what to do. It proved the perfect introduction to the city. I was fetched from my hotel, taken to the boat on the Bosphorus. And had a full day of sightseeing, including mosque, palace, finicular, breakfast, lunch, very cool people and the best guide imaginable. He gave wonderful information way above and beyond the immediate trip. He was organized in the nicest possible way. He gave advice on places to visit that got me onto the Metro afterwards and doing things I would not otherwise have known about.

As it says on the tin - this is a full day tour of the Asian side with lots packed in. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and kept us all going for 8-9 hours. First we had a Bosphorus boat trip with breakfast served, then the Beylerbey Palace tour. The grounds topped it for us. We moved onto Camlica mosque with panoramic views to take in and a breathtaking mosque, a second boat trip with lunch followed by a visit to Piere Lotti Hill and a cable car ride! It was a lot to pack in with about 55-60 on the tour so naturally some patience and good humour helps and Nazmiyeh, Cem and Engen (sorry for spelling mistakes) had an abundance of these which was infectious. There weren’t many options for Asian side tours and this did a great deal to help with introducing another side of Istanbul in a day.

It was great to explore the European and Asian sides in one day. Our guide was very friendly and explained all the important points in detail. The Bosphorus tour and crossing the bridge were truly impressive. We enjoyed it very much.

If you want to see 2 continents of Istanbul, this is a tour not to be missed. It was nice to get out of an area where everyone was around all the time. We visited beautiful historical buildings on both the European and Asian sides. Also, the 2-hour boat tour included in the tour was amazing. In this way, we saw many places from the sea. Lunch was delicious and good too. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a pleasant time. I would recommend it to everyone.

This was an amazing tour well worth the visit and our tour guide was Meral who was very knowledgeable for someone do young she was excellent.

It offers a perfect opportunity to discover the unique beauties of Istanbul! The tour offers an extensive journey covering both European and Asian continents. Our guide was full of knowledge, both historical and cultural, friendly and caring. Our first stop was places like historical Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia. Here, while our guide explained the history in detail, it was truly impressive to see the fascinating beauty of these monumental structures. Then, walking through the narrow streets of the Historic Peninsula on the European side allowed us to experience the history and culture of the city more closely. Then, we crossed the Bosphorus Bridge and moved to the Asian continent. Here, we visited districts such as Üsküdar and Kadıköy. It was a truly unique experience to follow the traces of the Ottoman Empire on the Asian side, accompanied by our guide's explanations. The lunch served throughout the tour was also great; It was fresh and delicious, full of local flavours. It was also fun to shop in the small shops recommended by our guide. Exploring two continents of Istanbul in the same day was truly unforgettable. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the city's rich history and culture in depth. Definitely an experience not to be missed!

We had a very good time with our nice guide. Many pieces of information reached us. Her English was easy to understand. It was a bit unfortunate that many in the travel group were not very precise with punctuality, and we often had to wait. There was a deduction for shipping. On the way home, we sat multiple times in black diesel clouds. The exhaust fumes were terrible! Otherwise, a tour that I can recommend to everyone. Price-performance absolutely top-notch

An excursion that should have been enjoyable. If we had been informed of the conditions. Especially the boat tour. Which took place too late in the day without informing us that appropriate clothing was needed. Far too many stops at the merchants. This was also not part of the tour program. Otherwise, our guide was very good, and we thank him for the efforts he made to make the excursion enjoyable.

Excellent Guide very good baby I recommend this tour

Very nice experience. I really enjoyed the ride. It’s really convenient, because if you visit alone, you can’t see all these places. Everything was well organized and pleasant. I recommend.

Very well organized with separate groups by language, our guide Erika friendly, friendly and very prepared, the truth I loved. Highly recommended

The tour was very exciting, the food looked good and the tour guides have been very hard!! You get to see fantastic impressions of Istanbul and at the same time you get to hear funny historically unimportant facts on request!! Our tour guides Cem and Nazmiye have tried very hard and exceeded all our expectations with their open and patient manner.

The visit was interesting and the guide was great! Maybe a bit 'long time spent in the ship but the visit to the palace of Beylerbeyi and Pierre Loti very nice.
