Tour muy agradable , te pone en contexto y te ubica en la ciudad a nivel de monumentos, ambiente y cosas que ver. También recomendaciones y disponibilidad del guía para sitios para comer recomendables y algunas “no recomendaciones”. Muy bien. El guía hablaba perfectamente castellano.

A very enjoyable tour. It gives you context and places you in the city, including monuments, atmosphere, and things to see. The guide also provided recommendations and availability for recommended places to eat, as well as some "non-recommendations." Very good. The guide spoke perfect Spanish. Opinion translated.

El tour estuvo entre regular y bien, el guia dio información sobre tradiciones e historia, pero se hizo un poco largo, ya que repetia mucho las cosas y se perdia mucho tiempo con lo mismo. Ese tiempo se podia haber aprovechado en contar más sobre la vida en Estambul o historia de los monumentos, etc. Un poco flojillo la verdad, y se nos hizo muy largo.

The tour was average to good. The guide provided information about traditions and history, but it felt a bit long, as he repeated things a lot and wasted a lot of time on the same topic. That time could have been better spent telling more about life in Istanbul or the history of the monuments, etc. It was a bit lame, to be honest, and it felt very long.

Fuimos al tour 6 amigos , nos gustó la historia que nos contó el guía brevemente ya que gran parte de la excursión nombraba la política y el vendernos cosas a todos los que íbamos en el free tour y se entiende pero íbamos con la idea de saber historia interesante de Turquía ( Estambul) nos hubiera gustado saber por él cositas que luego tuvimos que averiguar nosotros ...porque para eso hicimos el free tour . Gracias

We went on the tour with 6 friends. We liked the story that the guide briefly told us, since most of the excursion focused on politics and selling things to all of us who were on the free tour, and it's understandable, but we were going with the idea of learning interesting history about Turkey (Istanbul). We would have liked to hear things from him that we would have had to find out ourselves later... because that's why we did the free tour. Thanks.

La actividad estuvo muy bien organizada. El guía estaba con antelación en el punto de encuentro y comenzó sin demoras. Tras una breve explicación sobre la ciudad y qué íbamos a ver, comenzamos el tour. Todo muy bien explicado y aderezado con información local. El guía, Yasim, hablaba un perfecto español, y las 2.30 hs que duró el circuito fueron muy amenas e interesantes. Lo recomiendo a toda persona que vaya por primera vez a Estambul.

The activity was very well organized. The guide was at the meeting point ahead of time and started without delay. After a brief explanation about the city and what we were going to see, we began the tour. Everything was well explained and interspersed with local information. The guide, Yasim, spoke perfect Spanish, and the 2.5-hour tour was very enjoyable and interesting. I recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul for the first time. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour fue una actividad muy útil porque aparte de visitar el barrio de Sultanahmed y entrar en la mezquita azul, el guía explicó muy bien partes importantes de la historia de la ciudad y las aportaciones de los diferentes sultanes. Por otra parte, hizo recomendaciones acerca de lugares y monumentos a visitar, lo cual nos facilitó la visita de la ciudad. Experiencia totalmente recomendada. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was a very useful activity because, in addition to visiting the Sultanahmed neighborhood and entering the Blue Mosque, the guide was very good at explaining important aspects of the city's history and the contributions of the different sultans. He also made recommendations about places and monuments to visit, which made our visit to the city easier. A highly recommended experience. Opinion translated. Show original.
