Our chauffeurs will pick you up from your hotel with our air-conditioned vehicles and meet you with your group and tour guide at Kabatas pier. From here, hop on your boat and sail for Heybeliada and Büyükada, the largest and most popular Prince Island.
It is a place of great importance in our history. It is the palace where all the Ottoman sultans lived. While passing by these historical places, our tour guide will give you information about the history.
Maiden's Tower B.C. It has a history stretching back centuries. Over the centuries, it has served different states for different purposes. It also hosts interesting stories in the colloquial language. We recommend you to visit this place as well.
You can see the historical Haydarpaşa Train Station, which is the subject of the series.
Heybeliada is the second-largest among the islands but the greenest. With our guide, we have free time over there. Later, we continue our tour and head to Büyükada.
After arriving on the largest and most popular island, you will start exploring the island with your tour guide. You will see old churches, beaches, small town life up close. Take a break at a restaurant for lunch and enjoy tasty seafood before your spend the remainder of your day on your own. After lunch, grab your swimsuit and head to the beach to swim or catch some rays. ( summer months). You can also shop. You can buy organic fruits or souvenirs for your loved ones. Guests who wish can also participate in the activities there.
Finally, upon your return to Istanbul, there will be a stop for shopping. After shopping, we will drop you back at your respective hotels.
The island's greenery, the coastal route, and the wooden houses were elements I couldn't stop photographing. The guide pointed out the best photo spots. It was a pleasant tour at a moderate pace.
Wonderful locations and excellent service. The way they responded during missing schedule is marvalas
DO NOT go on this trip unless you like wasting your time and money! Firstly the bus was an hour late picking up with no information from the company. Boat journey was a combination of locals trying to sell various tat ,ultra loud music booming from a mid room speaker and rude staff. Lunch was good,rice,salad,chicken and pasta which was fine and hot. The promise of two hours on the first island was actually 1 1/2 hrs on an island that was like a ghost town,hardly anything to see or do especially in such a short time. The second island on which we were promised one and a half hours turned out to be just under an hour? . There was barely any point in getting off the boat this time which was fitting as there was even less to see here…an island totally devoid of anything worth exploring. Maybe if we were given more time we might have found something worthwhile.!. Lastly,we were told that on our return to the city we would get another hour and a half to go shopping before getting our transfer back to the hotel. Oh yeah shopping…in one of the local “upmarket “ clothes shops that obviously was a little deal with the trip vendor. This shopping trip consisted of a rudimentary catwalk show more fitting with a primary school than a high end shop!!. Clothes were then offered for sale from some quite pushy salespeople. At eye watering prices. What a waste of a day!
It was good trip however the seats on the boat were very stiff and old making it very uncomfortable especially when you have to be sitting for long hours across couple of different islands.
The winter vibes are amazing on Princes Island. We took a ferry to the first island for 2 hours, and then went to another island for 1 hour. I really enjoyed it with my wife and the crew were very friendly and helpful. We also bought from them a photo album they took by thier photographer on the ferry. Really recommend for first time visitors to Istanbul in the winter.
The trip little crowded and the bout sitting 🪑 was not comfortable. The time given in the island main one is 2 hours and the second one 30 minutes not long enough to see much . The island offer a lot activities and beach time. My advice go in a different boat.
Do NOT book with this company. They offered pick up from hotel, accepted my booking based on my hotel address and failed to turn up, saying hotel was too far away. Other tour operators tell uou they cannot pick you up before you book, but not these. My ticket confirms pick up from hotel and yet no one came. My little boy was devasted as we’d been telling him we were going on a boat. They should be ashamed ripping people off like this!
Great tour of the islands. The ferry was comfortable and the guide was professional and informative. We managed to sidestep the leather store at the end by just hopping on the tram and heading back. I’d read of a sales stop at a leather and fur store, but had no interest in either product.
It offered a great opportunity to escape from the crowds of Istanbul. The calmness and natural beauties of Büyükada were fascinating. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about the history of the islands. Lunch was also very delicious.
The fascinating atmosphere and natural beauties of Büyükada made this tour unforgettable. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the history of the islands. Lunch was also very delicious. I think everyone who visits Istanbul should try this tour.
It’s not good at all and not met the expectations as mentioned in trip advisor, for these reasons: 1) didn’t stop as mentioned 2) food was very poor and not as mentioned it’s seafood, but it was tomato pasta, white rice, small pieces of cooked chicken, salade and small cup of water(not tasty at all) 3) more over in our way to return back we get off from the boat and walked about 15minutes in sun , then we informed that we will stay in leather shop 30 minutes (it was by force and not our selection) and we stay more than one our to watch some fashion show and we informed to go upstairs to buy what we need 4) unfortunately we have a plan after this trip but due this fashion shop we are not able to continue our plan * Really I regret to book this unprofessional trip, it was the first time for me to book through trip advisor app, I will never do it again
The boat was packed and incredibly uncomfortable. Of course this meant people were rude because there was no space to simply enjoy the ride. The islands are great but chose a different way to get there.
The tour was very good : - They came on time in the morning for the pick up - The bus was confortable - The guide speaks english very well - The lunch was good but can be better. It's a very light tour with no special visits. We had free time to walk around the islands.
Starting with a comfortable transfer from our hotel, a ferry journey to the island, an exploration with silent electric cars, a delightful lunch, and the enchantment of historical houses... I highly recommend taking this tour in early spring and summer. The natural beauty of the island shines even brighter during these seasons. A day immersed in unique landscapes and historical wonders awaits. Don't miss out!
Princess Island is stunningly gorgeous. We loved everything about this tour. Our guide is very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. He was sensitive to our needs and responded to our requests in a very professional way.
A really nice long boat ride. A stroll around the island. Plenty of shops, cafes etc. We had a lovely seafood lunch, then caught the last ferry back at 5pm. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend
A Nice day in BuyukAda The minibus picked us from the hotel in time. the guide was awsome, talked to us all the time, gave us all the information we could ask for. The Island was super crowded and I would recommend skipping the electric car and renting a bike.
The peace and beauty of the islands were a nice opportunity to relax away from the crowds. It was also nice to have free time to wander around the island on our own. We traveled freely without visiting other islands.
It was the perfect tour to get away from the busyness of Istanbul. The calm atmosphere and natural beauty of the islands fascinate people. We had a great time as a family. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Lunch was nice.
From the port of Istanbul, I took the boat to the Princes Islands. The boat stops on each island to drop off and embark the passengers, until the final destination, Adalar. Adalar is very lively, with shops and restaurants. It's a nice corner.
Very nice island. Wes summits at the first island for 40 minutes that was so short we couldn't see anything. Big island was really worth it
Even though it was a day trip, it was a peaceful visit away from the crowds of the city. We spent a calm and pleasant time surrounded by nature. You can rent a bike in Büyükada and explore the island, visit the Greek orphanage and Hagia Yorgi Church in Heybeliada and have a picnic under the shade of pine trees in Burgazada. Lunch was also included in the tour and was very delicious.
