The only city in the world located on two continents, Istanbul is an incredible city to visit. And as Bulgaria shares a border with Turkey, it makes a great day trip destination. You'll leave in the evening and arrive early in the morning for a full day of exploring. Highlights include a bus tour passing Topkapi Palace and more, a quick visit to the UNESCO-listed Blue Mosque, plus some optional extras to customize the trip.

The whole trip to Istanbul was a waste of time because we didn't have an English guide and didn't have a clue what we were doing and where we were going.

The trip itself was excellent. For some reason the hotel rep couldn’t tell us the itinerary except for the lunch and boat trip options. Also we were not able to book/pay for the boat trip in advance although the rest of the group (including two Belgians with TUI bag labels from another hotel) had clearly already paid. We had to get cash out (the nearest cash point charged us 16 euros for this) to pay for our boat trip from the local guide as he didn’t have a card machine (rep said card payment).

De excursie is een aanrader, alles prima, maar de organisatie kon net iets beter, we hebben heel veel tijd verloren met wachten, wachten en wachten. We konden die tijd nuttiger gebruiken. Maar alles bij alles een zeer leuke ervaring.

Nie podobalo mi sie to, ze z calej wycieczki bylismy tylko w 1 meczecie i na placu kolo niego. A reszte zwiedzalismy z autokaru gdzie niektorych rzeczy nie bylo widac z mojej strony autobusu. Nie potrzebna byla wizyta w sklepie ze skórzana odzieza ktora byla zenujaca. Dalej wybór 1 wycieczki dodatkowej gdzie przy zakupie zapewniano mnie, ze beda 2 do wyboru. Zapewniano mnie takrze a pytalem 3 razy ze na wycieczce beda osoby z narodowosci polskiej tym czasem duza czesc osob byla z ukrainy.

Selve transport var tungt, ukomfortabelt pga det var mye tid i bussen i heile turen. Det var alt for mye planlagt for 1.dagen, det kunne ble bedre dele for 2.dager. Sjåførene var veldig hyggelige, kjørte veldig trygg og behagelig. Guidene var også fantastiske, passet god på vår gruppa, fortalte veldig interessant, vi er absolutt fornøyd med kunnskap som vi fikk!

Szczególne slowa uznania naleza sie przewodnikowi, Panu Wiktorowi, który wykazal sie ogromnym zaangazowaniem i profesjonalizmem. Podczas zwiedzania Stambulu towarzyszyl nam lokalny przewodnik, Pan Stanislaw, który równiez zasluguje na wysoka ocene. W przystepny sposób przyblizyl nam historie i znaczenie wszystkich zwiedzanych miejsc, a przy tym potrafil wplesc humor i ciekawe anegdoty, co znacznie urozmaicilo cala trase. Pan Wiktor i Pan Stanislaw zasluguja na najwyzsza ocene.
