Princess Island "adalar"
the guide gave good explanations of the city and history on the way to the islands and we had free time to explore and enjoy the beach

I'm overridden by the excursion.
You overruled my experience without explaining the reason. I felt like enjoying it. Thank you so much for letting me see pictures of the islands.

Not worth it.
Depending on where you stay, the time you spend on the transport can be very long. Being the first, we spent over 2.5hrs on the transport before we reached the ferry before departure. The journey is boring. 2 hrs to 1st island which you spent 2hrs on it. And another 1 hrs to Prince's island where you spent another hr on it before heading back. Not much to do at the islands other than walk, find a restaurant to sit down. The only reprieve is that while on the islands, the air is cleaner as there are less smokers. But on the ferry, it can get bad if many passengers are smoking. So basically you are on a floating cloud of smokes breathing in second hand smoke. I think you will have better experience if you can stay there for a night or two if you like some quite island life and hike around.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Istanbul Princes’ Islands Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Full Day Istanbul Princes’ Islands Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Full Day Istanbul Princes’ Islands Tour with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full Day Istanbul Princes’ Islands Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 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 Full Day Istanbul Princes’ Islands Tour with Lunch?
+
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 Full Day Istanbul Princes’ Islands Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Istanbul Princes’ Islands Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Istanbul Princes’ Islands Tour with Lunch 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 Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City 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.
