Did not meet expectations - I got message from organizers at 10:42 pm (night before) to be at meeting place at 9:30 am instead of 8:30 am. I did not receive the message until 6:30 am, it was too late to change my Uber, so we got to meeting place very early. Waited for 1.75 hours to board ferry. Tour did not start until 10 am -it was not a boat, but a ferry, shuttling passengers across, not just our tour -our “tour guide” talked to us for about 5 minutes at each stop and left us to explore on our own. -lunch was very good, they had a vegan selection

It was worth it. The value is good. - It was nice experience. The pick up was timely. The transport was comfortable. The boat was nice. The island trips were good. (1st island stop could have been a little longer.) The final visit to the leather shop could be expedited. ☺️

Nice, did it once, but not a do again for me. - Our tour guide was wonderful, the boat ride was beautiful seeing amazing sites. But from pickup to boat took an hour and 20 minutes with lots of stops and sitting around. Islands were pretty but not much to see but vendors selling their items.

Very poorly organised. - 23:23 the night before the excursion, when I was fast asleep, they sent a message via Whatsapp to inform that the pickup at the hotel would be 8:30. So, ten minutes before 8:30, we started waiting in the hotel lobby. Someone speaking very poor English came to pick us up after 9 o’clock and made us, and other people he also picked up on the way, practically run to the bus, that was parked 2 streets further. After that, we had to wait again, in the bus now. No explanation. After the bus had started the trip, we went to the Taksim area, where we had to…. wait. 3 diferent groups in one bus, another bus had too many passengers, … very poorly organised. After that we finally got in the right bus, the guide, Süleyman, entered and the trip started. It is only thanks to this guide that the trip wasn’t a complete waiste of time and money. He was very kind and helpful and seemed to know what he was talking about. The lunch included in the package was very bad. My dogs get better food than this. I saw that more than half of the people almost didn’t eat anything. What we didn’t ask for, but got anyway, was a trip to a local leather factory at the end of the trip. Very expensive and also very dangerous because of wet stairs and no railing to hold on to. Conclusion: it would have been less stressfull and cheaper tot buy the tickets for the boats and organise the trip ourselves.

Turkey unpleasant people and too much scam - No made one of a day to this island the scenery is beautiful typical houses but food restaurants is null Award too expensive for that's who gives on the plate it has no taste too thankful the staff it's unpleasant he refuses to talk other Long than theirs what he's interested in is just the money you eat and get out as quickly as possible. Also the tourist transport barely get on their buses you don't even pay 1km you have to get off again saying he already made you do a tour

Not worth it - make your own way there - There was no tour element to it at all - no information about anything was provided - only thing that was said was the name of the islands - spent the first two hours driving around Istanbul picking up people in hotels - much less time that they say on the description - 40 minutes at first island, 2 hr at second island - played very loud dance/club music the whole way out there - 2 Turkish coffee cost me 200 lira? At the end they tried to make us go to a ‘fashion show’ - where they try and pressure you into buying clothing in warehouse Looked online and can get ferry yourself there for a fraction of the cost/ spend way longer there
