Istanbul tour from Bulgaria

We enjoyed the tour although we were informed the night before the tour wasn't going to have an English speaking guide. He did do his best to keep us informed as to what was going on though.

We really enjoyed Istanbul itself and the itinerary was excellent. The Bosphorus cruise, historic centre, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Spice Bazaar made for a memorable day. However, the biggest issue was the language. We booked the excursion expecting an English-speaking tour, but were only informed shortly beforehand that it would be conducted mainly in Polish. As English-speaking guests, this meant we could not understand most of the guide’s commentary throughout a very long day and had to

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).

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.
