We bought the 24 hour ticket to do the night trip. The view was stunning, but the cold hour and a half ride there in traffic was not fun. Also don't let the restaurants bully you, we wanted to go to balloon cafe but the competing restaurant's manger kept saying "no. Full" and trying to force us to his place.... More

You have to ahgle to get some discount. we paid 15€ a person (beats taking a Taxi). The positive part is you can see a lot in one day. You can make three trips. We did the blue one in the morning, followed by the Red one in the afternoon, hoever the evening ride was rather very annoying. We had... More

we really enjoy the city, they have 2 routes which take you everywhere in stambul,but sometimes it takes quiet long between atractions,when you leave the bus to go for a special atraction ( we had to wait for 1 hour at topkapi palace) . anyway the city can be seen eassier this way

I m writing this review because I got really upset by a ridiculus review describing the night tour as a scam. The night tour is NOT a scam. The night tour is amazing! It is true that the night tour is almost identical to the day city tour (but you can see that from the maps beforehand , noone is... More

The bus runs at the speed does not get to see anything, the sound is delayed, if you're in January you'll get cold. You'll stay stuck in traffic on the street where you can not see than walls. I do not recommend, is too expensive! We moved down because it was hot but I could not see anything because of... More

My husband and I took this ride and were very glad we did. The route took to areas which we would have otherwise missed had we just depended on our guidebooks. We sat the upper level and got excellent views of a wider area of Istanbul - most notably the bird's eye view of the hill full of local residential... More

This $20 each tour has 3 lines: red,blue, and green. The lines overlap but each one has a special part: one does the Asian side, one goes in the evening, and the other does a general tour of the European side. On a nice day this is great......but we were in Istanbul November 5-8th and we had a chilly spell... More

At various points around Istanbul there are several "Hop On, Hop Off" buses -- as there are in every major city. We chose Istanbul Bosphorus Sightseeing (a dark blue bus), and it wasn't the best choice. It did have an open top deck which was covered for sun/rain, and that was good. And it did cross over the bridge and... More

My friend was keen to take the Hop On Hop OFF bus in Istanbul since she's taken it in other cities. I was hesitant to do it since I rather walk and Istanbul has a great above ground tram system. But I caved in and we got tickets. My review, as a seasoned traveler, was it's a real rip off.... More
