Princes Islands Blue Journey From Old City Istanbul

We had a very enjoyable trip! Although information about the meet-up spot was minimal and we had a difficult time finding the exact meet-up location at the beginning of the trip… But the overall experience was nice! Beautiful destination and excellent explanation from a very informative guide! Thanks to our guide, Ege, who made sure everyone had a good time. I recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in the history of Istanbul, as this trip gives deep insight into the culture and traditions of the city and Turkey.

My reapect for tour guide Svetlana, interesting facts and good insights into good places to visit

Trip started at 11:30 AM against the start time of 10 AM. Boat was roaming one place to another with in 200 meter range for one and half hours. Very limited option of snacks or food items in boat pantry.

Svetlana the best 🫶 we will come back 👌

Exactly as advertised, professional staff, on time and the tour guide was very informative and friendly

The experience was amazing, the tour guides were very helpful and patients I really enjoyed it

Our guides, Olga and Sveda, were amazing and gave us a wonderful tour of the Princes Islands!

This tour from Istanbul to the Princes' Islands was absolutely incredible. The scenery throughout the boat ride and on the islands was breathtaking and picture-perfect. A huge shoutout to the staff Olga and Svetlana.

It was an amazing tour, we were informed about historical facts, we have seen beautiful locations, which are not usual and typical for Istanbul architecture, because for me, it looked like a tropical ones. Thanks a lot for our guide Svetlana, she has great knowledges related to her job. Would like to see you again in another tours of Istanbul!

Nice boat trip from Istanbul to the island(s) which took about an hour. We only visitied one island and to be honest there wasn't much there....few shops, restaurants etc. A couple of hours is more than enough. When we returned for a our booked time we were told that the timetable had changed so had to wait around for an hour in the hot sun. Check your return time is as advertised when you arrive.

I was on a guided tour of the Princes' Islands today. It is a very beautiful and picturesque place. Interesting architecture and road junctions . Our guide Louise accompanied us throughout the tour. She talked about these islands in a very interesting , voluminous and informative way . I'm happy with the tour. I recommend 👍

It was a great experience, Luiza is very pleasant person and a great speaker/guiide.

The tour was wonderful; the guide explained everything in great detail and in a captivating way.

I had a wonderful experience on the Princes' Islands tour. The trip was very well organized, the scenery was beautiful, and we had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the island and take amazing photos. I would especially like to thank our tour guide, Svetlana, for her outstanding care and professionalism. She took us to some of the most beautiful spots on the island for sightseeing and photography, and she constantly checked on the group to make sure everyone was comfortable and no one got lost or left behind. What impressed me the most was her genuine concern for every guest. At one point, I was walking back toward the boat and was feeling a little tired from all the walking. Suddenly, Svetlana appeared and kindly checked on me to make sure I was okay. This small gesture showed how attentive and dedicated she is. It was clear that she genuinely cares about every person on the tour and never loses track of her guests. Thank you, Svetlana, for making this trip so enjoyable and memorable. Your kindness, attention to detail, and commitment to your guests made a great experience even better. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul.

It was amazing experience. Me and my wife we enjoyed the trips to both islands. It was organized trip. Our tour guides gave us through explanations to different sightseeing beside tips to enjoy our time. Special thanks to our tour guide svetlana. Hassan

I recommend the guide Luiza. You can tell she’s in the right place and doing something she truly enjoys.

We really liked the guide Luiza. She explains everything clearly and in an engaging way. She’s a very pleasant person. I recommend traveling with her.

A big thank you to our guide, Louise, for a wonderful excursion to the Princes' Islands. It was very interesting and informative! We highly recommend it!

Luiza was an excellent tour guide who made our trip to the Princes’ Islands in Istanbul truly memorable. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and well-organized, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Her insights about the islands’ history and culture added so much depth to the experience, and she always made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. The day was relaxing, fun, and perfectly paced thanks to her guidance. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Princes’ Islands with a great guide!

This cruise exceeded expectations. The islands were really interesting and our guide, Mart, was very helpful. He led us on a walk to the former monastery on the hill of the smaller island and guided us through it. There was helpful information provided through the day and the tour did not go to any shopping locations like other tours. I definitely recommend this day trip.

Merit was an amazing tour guide. Very cool, Calm and knowledgeable. Recommended a great restaurant. The price of the tour was really a good value. The islands are worth visiting.

We had a lovely time with Mert, he was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge!

We did the day trip with the Family. The pick up from the hotel and all was well organized. Mert, our guide, was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer any questions we had. He gave some advice where to eat and we learned a lot about Istanbul.

That was really nice. Thanks a lot to the guide Loissa, she was so lovely and thoughtful. We enjoyed the trip, highly recommend!

The tour was excellent, price also very competitive according to what you get. Also the guide Temel was very helpful and explained everything with detail!

I had a tour with a guide Cem he was very kind and knowledable we had a good time in there. Definatly recommended

Good amount of time to explore two biggest islands, the tour guide Luiza told about the history of the place and replied to all questions. Would recommend and will def come back as the place is beautiful!

Very good expérience ! I hightly recommend it with the guide Luiza

Very nice and amazing place to visit. Thanks to our guide Luisa, she was so nice and give a lot of good advises 👍 Recommended 👍

I Was on the trip to the Princess islands, it was a good experience our guide was very good at explaining evrything and very respecfull. Thank you Svetlana for a good trip u were an amazing guide

It was my 2nd time booking at sea boat tour. It was an epic experience traveling on historical and ancient waterways! I thoroughly enjoyed touring two Princes' Island, Heybeliada and Buyukada. It was an enriching education and wonderful experience. Our guide Mert was professional, knowledgeable and superb! He also gave clear instructions regarding boat schedules. Thank you kindly!

Mert was an incredible guide, charming, knows his history, and genuinely kind. This tour is a wonderful introduction to the islands, though it does move quickly, especially on the first stop. If time allows, I'd recommend returning on your own to explore at a more relaxed pace. The islands are absolutely stunning, the locals are welcoming, and the bike ride is a must! Thank you for an amazing experience, Mert!

Thank you very much for such a wonderful trip to the Princes’ Islands. We were lucky with the weather — it was beautiful and comfortable. The islands are incredibly scenic and full of charm, and the whole experience was very enjoyable. The guide was always nearby, very helpful, shared detailed information about the islands and local life, and even took great photos. The tour was easy, well-organized, and left only warm memories.

We did a day trip to Princes’ Islands with my family, and it’s a must-do when you come to Istanbul if you want to escape the chaos of the city. Our guide, Mert, was extremely knowledgeable and fantastic throughout the trip. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend booking a guided tour.

I had booked this tour but I couldn't catch up as i was late. But the communication was very good. Easy to contact with operator. He gave me the option to travel next day but i couldn't. So i got the full refund.

Found this tour to visit Princess Islands. We had a chance to visit two the biggest Islands: Büyükada and Heybeliada. On first one we walked for 3 hours by ourselves. Our guide Svetlana recommended to visit various places and cafes on this island and provided us with Google maps tags. The houses and villas are beautiful and vibed. We really like them - you feel like you are in 19tg century and have a time for walking around. As for second island, we with our group visited Monastery Ayatriada. It was in renovation stage. In our opinion, this place might be skipped - but it’s up to you. In general this trip was interesting and comfortable (with transfer from/to hotel). The guide Svetlana also told us about Istanbul and Islands while we were going to the Islands. Also we think that the provided service is quite expensive - it might be ~20 euro (or let tea be free on a board :) ) We highly recommend to visit these islands!!

Great experience especially with svetlana and mert they are soooo friendlyyy and knowledgeable! Highly recommend it!

Princes island journey was one of our best journeys in Istanbul. You get to the islands by boat. Our tour guides were amazing. They explained many interesting information while we enjoy the view on the boat all the way to the islands. We stopped in two islands, had free time for activities, walking in the nicest places on the islands, bikes, sea food. You must visit. And don’t forget to have a nice tour guide to feel home and to learn more about the city, thanks Mert and Svetlana.

Our experience was enhanced thanks to our guide Cem who was very knowledgeable and keen to share his love of Turkish culture and history.This made the appreciation of these beautiful Princes islands easier thanks to his detailed explanations.Well done!

Quiet good experience travelling to islands. Pretty fast and straight with all tips thanks to guides especially Luisa

Luiza and Cem did a great job as our tour guides. They explained the history/ story behind all the sites we saw. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.

It was a great trip to Princess Islands with Cem and Luiza! They were fun, energetic and helpful people. Especially, Cem was the most caring, friendly, and kind tour guide we'd ever seen! We were lost on the Island for a bit and we were a bit late, but Cem made the boat wait for us for an entire 10 minutes!!! Hats off to Cem, Really!!! It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life, and one of the most outstanding factors was absolutely the best tour guide, Cem!😍👌

It was a wonderful experience. The tour guides Luiza and Cem are great. They are patient, fun and friendly. They told us a lot about culture and history. I will never forget this trip. Thanks a lot.😍
