Istanbul tour from Bulgaria | TUI Musement

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.

Trip is beautiful. I was traveling alone as a woman. The 6 hours of free time threatened me the most. I received information about the tour only after payment. The added tours of Istanbul were only offered on the day of the tour.

Przewodnik polskojezyczny, pan Wiktor, to cudowny czlowiek. Jest nieocenionym wsparciem tam na miejscu. Podróz do przezycia. Troche slabo z dostepem do lazienki rano juz w Stambule. Jedna toaleta z dwiema kabinami WC, brak prysznica, zwazywszy na okolicznosci i miejscowy klimat to spora niedogodnosc. Sniadanie znosne. Nie polecam obiadu w hotelu. W cenie 12 euro spokojnie mozna zjesc w miescie. Wrazenia NIEOCENIONE, warte kazdej minuty zniesionych trudów podrózy. BYLO NIESAMOWICIE, POLECAM!

Na pochwale zasluguje przewodnik Pani Magda i kierowca autokaru Ali, który bardzo sprawnie w szybkim czasie przeprowadzil nas przez granice w obie strony. "Turecki" przewodnik czasami wg. mnie mówil chaotycznie opisujac zdarzenia, choc jest bardzo sympatyczna osoba i dobrze mówi po polsku. W pewnych momentach brakowalo sztywnej reki do organizacyjnej, aby ogarnac grupe. Na pochwale zasluguje poswiecenie i elastycznosc przewodników.

Kierowca super, sniadanie w cenie wycieczki super. Mozliwosc plyniecia po Bosforze super. Minusy: zwiedzanie miasta z autobusu w zaduchu i korkach, brak zwiedzania Blekitnego Meczetu i Top Capi, choc byly w ofercie. Przewodnik mówil za cicho i nie do konca zrozumialym jezykiem polskim. Strata czasu: najpierw turecki przewodnik opowiada, potem nasz przeklada lamana polszczyzna
