Calmness and beauty of the islands - It offered a great opportunity to escape from the crowds of Istanbul. The calmness and natural beauties of Büyükada were fascinating. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about the history of the islands. Lunch was also very delicious.

Don't miss out! - Starting with a comfortable transfer from our hotel, a ferry journey to the island, an exploration with silent electric cars, a delightful lunch, and the enchantment of historical houses... I highly recommend taking this tour in early spring and summer. The natural beauty of the island shines even brighter during these seasons. A day immersed in unique landscapes and historical wonders awaits. Don't miss out!

Fun Day, With a Catch - Great tour of the islands. The ferry was comfortable and the guide was professional and informative. We managed to sidestep the leather store at the end by just hopping on the tram and heading back. I’d read of a sales stop at a leather and fur store, but had no interest in either product.

Very good - The tour was very good :
- They came on time in the morning for the pick up
- The bus was confortable
- The guide speaks english very well
- The lunch was good but can be better.
It's a very light tour with no special visits.
We had free time to walk around the islands.

Ok to learn - The trip little crowded and the bout sitting 🪑 was not comfortable. The time given in the island main one is 2 hours and the second one 30 minutes not long enough to see much . The island offer a lot activities and beach time. My advice go in a different boat.

AVOID AVOIF AVOID!!! - Do NOT book with this company. They offered pick up from hotel, accepted my booking based on my hotel address and failed to turn up, saying hotel was too far away. Other tour operators tell uou they cannot pick you up before you book, but not these. My ticket confirms pick up from hotel and yet no one came. My little boy was devasted as we’d been telling him we were going on a boat. They should be ashamed ripping people off like this!

The worst experience I had - It’s not good at all and not met the expectations as mentioned in trip advisor, for these reasons:
1) didn’t stop as mentioned
2) food was very poor and not as mentioned it’s seafood, but it was tomato pasta, white rice, small pieces of cooked chicken, salade and small cup of water(not tasty at all)
3) more over in our way to return back we get off from the boat and walked about 15minutes in sun , then we informed that we will stay in leather shop 30 minutes (it was by force and not our selection) and we stay more than one our to watch some fashion show and we informed to go upstairs to buy what we need
4) unfortunately we have a plan after this trip but due this fashion shop we are not able to continue our plan
* Really I regret to book this unprofessional trip, it was the first time for me to book through trip advisor app, I will never do it again

Overcrowded and not worth it - The boat was packed and incredibly uncomfortable. Of course this meant people were rude because there was no space to simply enjoy the ride. The islands are great but chose a different way to get there.
