Our guide was both informative and attentive. We were able to spend enough time at each stop, from Beylerbeyi Palace to Pierre Loti Hill. The view from Çamlıca Mosque and Çamlıca Hill was truly impressive. The 2-hour sunset boat trip included at the end of the day took the tour to a whole new level. It's a great option for those who want to explore Istanbul comfortably and enjoyably.”
