    Excellent tour guide Kemal Aslan

    Did the day tour with Kemal Aslan. Best tour guide I’ve ever experienced. He was very informative, knowledgeable, patient, friendly and made the tour an amazing experience. His knowledge was incredible and I would highly recommend Kemal to anyone wanting to know the history of Istanbul and ancient history Thank you Kemal for making our tour a wonderful experience. From Sandra and Michael ( Australia)

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing our services. We all hope to see you in Turkey with a longer trip..

    Economically not a good option

    871813040 This hotel eventough has a good location and good views of the bosforo bay, has not a good admin personnel, they charge you certain amount at the time of checking in depending of the nights of your stay and at check out time if the amount of your expenses is less than the amount that they charge you initially, they promised to refund the difference to your credit card, however that not happened to me, I call them asking for the refund and they keep telling me that they will do it but until now five months after my stay that never happened. Thus I do not recomend this hotel for that reason.

    Response from the operator: We do not had a reservation under your name. I think that you posted this review to wrong page.

    2-Nights Stay in Istanbul including the Highlight Tour of Istanbul: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

    How much does 2-Nights Stay in Istanbul including the Highlight Tour of Istanbul cost?

    +

    Prices start at $459 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Nights Stay in Istanbul including the Highlight Tour of Istanbul take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.

    Is 2-Nights Stay in Istanbul including the Highlight Tour of Istanbul worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Nights Stay in Istanbul including the Highlight Tour of Istanbul?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2-Nights Stay in Istanbul including the Highlight Tour of Istanbul suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Nights Stay in Istanbul including the Highlight Tour of Istanbul?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Nights Stay in Istanbul including the Highlight Tour of Istanbul start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Istanbul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Famous Istanbul Pub Crawl #1 Nightlife Experience, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Istanbul?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Istanbul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
