Overview

Begin the tour with a brief visit to the 17th century Spice Bazaar, one of Istanbul's most colorful and bustling attractions. Then take an unforgettable cruise along the Bosphorus , the majestic strait that runs through Istanbul, linking Europe and Asia. From your cruise Private Motor Yacht , you can view the dramatic sights lining the Bosphorus' wooded shores: mosques, a bridge that for a time was the world's longest and the massive Rumeli Hisari, a fortress built by Fatih the Conqueror in just three months as he prepared to take Istanbul and the 19th century mansions of the Ottoman elite and the Sultan's fanciful gingerbread palaces and hunting lodges.

Voucher gives you the impression that the tour includes admission to sights along the cruise. It does not. All it is a driver to take you to the ferry, a "guide" who sits with you (yet describes nothing) and a walk through the spice market. We certainly could have done this on our own with a taxi from the hotel. I tried to complain to La Vacanza Travel but they denied my request for a refund.

Excellent!!! Our 2 days spent with Hakin was perfect!!! He answered all of our questions and was pleasant to be with. He was professional, knowledgeable and delightful. We saw everything that we wanted to see and felt very comfortable at all times. The van and driver was 5 star as well. I highly recommend La Vacanza Travel and will definitely use them again! our tour and guide went beyond our expectations!

Our tour guide was ilker ulus. He is very personable and is English was very easy to understand. His knowledge of the the sights and local culture is excellent. It provided us with an in depth knowledge of istanbul that we could not have gotten on our own. I would highly recommend ilker as your tour guide while traveling in istanbul.

We probably could have booked ferry ride without guide, but it was enjoyable.
