“The transportation to and from was good. The guide was not very good and basically dumped us! The bazaar was teeming with people and we almost lost him a number of times even after asking him to slow down. There was no narration on the cruise, so we didn't really know what we were seeing.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $234

Cross Europe and Asia in one day: Spice Bazaar, Rustem Pasha Mosque, Bosphorus cruise, Beylerbeyi Palace, and Camlica Hill.

“I was glad that I choose this tour, allowing me to see something of the Asian side. The guide was well-informed and personable. The morning portion - shopping at the spice bazaar - did not appeal to me, The lunch was at a particularly unappealing restaurant absolutely packed with those coming off tour busses with very, very inadequate air conditioning plus being very loud with forced seating at large, uncomfortable tables with people from other tours that you did not know. The afternoon portion made up for this and was appealing. I learned that the afternoon portion which includes the Palace, Bosporous and Hill can be booked separately.”
