This was my first time in Istanbul and it completely exceeded my expectations. The city is so full of life and history. I especially enjoyed our trip to Sapanca the lake was peaceful and the surrounding nature was beautiful. The tour was very organized and we always felt safe and taken care of. It was a perfect mix of culture and relaxation.
This tour let us experience a little bit of everything. Istanbul was bustling and full of stories, while Sapanca was peaceful and green. I appreciated how each location felt different from the last. Highly recommend it for first-time visitors to Turkey.
Well organized. Clean buses, helpful guides, and smooth schedule throughout the week.
Bursa had lovely views from the mountain. The city center was also charming and full of local character.
Our favorite day was on Princes Island. It felt like stepping into another world no traffic just silence and sea breeze. A horse carriage took us around and we ended the day watching the sunset. Would go again just for that.
