Great tour! Highly recommend. - Great tour! Our family of 3 really enjoyed the tour. A beautiful way to learn about Istanbul and turkey from the Bosphorus. The tour was a small group and very comfortable. The food was also very good and stretching our legs on the Asian side to try yogurt was also a great addition to the tour.
