This tour is not rushed. The content is fully consistent with the description. This tour combines great impressions of the places visited, a walk along the Bosphorus, and interesting facts and stories from a tour guide. Furkan (our guide) is an interesting and educated storyteller with deep knowledge of the history of the country and the city, culture. His story was interesting and not boring. 5 stars! Thank you Furkan!

I picked this tour because it was advertised as a 5 hour trip. Allowing for an hour each way, I assumed we would have 3 hours at the palace. However, we were just an add-on to another tour, so we were driven to where they were having lunch which was an endless drive from our hotel and had to wait until 1.45 to start the tour although the advertised starting time was 12.30. After a stop in a panoramic area for 15 minutes we retraced our steps back to the Dolmabahce Palace and had 1 hour of a rushed guided tour with a guide who was less than informative. 15 minutes free at the end of the 45 min guided tour did not give us enough time to even walk around the Palace. I rate this trip as a total disappointment.

It would have been nice to see all sections of the palace, but the tour guide seemed to think we did not have time.

My family had a lovely day visiting the Dolmabahce palace with its amazing architecture and beautiful surroundings/gardens. We were provided with an audio device which gives you detailed history on this lovely ottoman building and its rooms. Pictures are not allowed inside.

Very personalised tour as we were only 3 people on the group. The guide was really sweet. Camlica Hills offers great views over both european and asian side of Istanbul. Good place for picnic on top of the hill. The weather was lovely for the tour. And Dolmabahce Palace is a jewel in the crown for Istanbul, however the locals do not like the history associated with it but it is definitely a must visit for all tourists!
