A Beautiful tour for those who are in Istanbul and have already visited the basic tourist attractions - We went to the islands on our own, no excursion. We took the ferry at the port of Galata and descended on the last island. Adalar is beautiful! There are many restaurants to choose from, markets, shops and also hotels. When we return to Istanbul, we intend to spend a few days on this island so that we can enjoy more of the city, the trails and the beaches.

The trip was great. Our tour guide was great and did everything to make us feel comfortable and make sure we did not get lost. D - Everything was great as expected. We were kept informed of the trip and time so everything went smooth. I would definitely recommend for the price you pay. Unless you want to see more.

It's worth leaving. - The islands are not too far from Istanbul. It takes one hour 15 minutes by boat. The Second Island was better than First. You can take the electric bus on to the top of the hill, or rent with bicycles.

Princess Island Excapade 2024 - I had an awesome experience during this tour. I met quite a few people and had a good conversation. The islands are spectacular, but there is nothing much to do there, but I enjoyed biking around. The tour staff are very informative and approachable.

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

Ferry the cash cows to and from! - More of a packed ferry ride than a boat cruise, noisy crowded and hot, I was hoping for an enjoyable boat journey but it was more like being on public transport. Islands are nice enough, souvenir shopping and food, although be sure to agree the price before ordering, they can be extortionate.

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
