Both sides of Istanbul together - It was great to explore the European and Asian sides in one day. Our guide was very friendly and explained all the important points in detail. The Bosphorus tour and crossing the bridge were truly impressive. We enjoyed it very much.

I would recommend it to everyone. - If you want to see 2 continents of Istanbul, this is a tour not to be missed. It was nice to get out of an area where everyone was around all the time. We visited beautiful historical buildings on both the European and Asian sides. Also, the 2-hour boat tour included in the tour was amazing. In this way, we saw many places from the sea. Lunch was delicious and good too. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a pleasant time. I would recommend it to everyone.

A wonderful day on two continents in one day - It offers a perfect opportunity to discover the unique beauties of Istanbul! The tour offers an extensive journey covering both European and Asian continents. Our guide was full of knowledge, both historical and cultural, friendly and caring. Our first stop was places like historical Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia. Here, while our guide explained the history in detail, it was truly impressive to see the fascinating beauty of these monumental structures. Then, walking through the narrow streets of the Historic Peninsula on the European side allowed us to experience the history and culture of the city more closely. Then, we crossed the Bosphorus Bridge and moved to the Asian continent. Here, we visited districts such as Üsküdar and Kadıköy. It was a truly unique experience to follow the traces of the Ottoman Empire on the Asian side, accompanied by our guide's explanations. The lunch served throughout the tour was also great; It was fresh and delicious, full of local flavours. It was also fun to shop in the small shops recommended by our guide. Exploring two continents of Istanbul in the same day was truly unforgettable. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the city's rich history and culture in depth. Definitely an experience not to be missed!
