Big Bus Hop-on-Hop-off-Tour durch Istanbul und Bosporus-Bootstour

The service was very good. Staff was helpful, spoke good english and was always wvailable to answer questions and give tips

It was good, but they dont leave as often as in other cities. Had to wait over an hour

A good value and a great way to get around the city however, I was unable to visit the Greek Patriarchate because the bus had entered the off-season schedule. It's not their fault per se, but I was still disappointed.

My friends warned me not to buy this bus service, but I decided to check for myself. I made a mistake. Horrible experience for 120. I bought tickets for my parents and I for 2 days and we spent most of the time in the traffic jam. Overall, it is a Very disappointing service with a lot of disadvantages. The Routs and the stops are not the best. The intervals between the busses are not 15-20 minutes as usual, but an hour. If you will miss your bus, be ready to wait for an hour until the next one. Also the bus stops running at 4. On the second day we got of at our first stop and walked around. By the time we wanted to board the bus again it was after 4 and the last one already left. So, I totally wasted my money. Don't make my mistake. Walk around yourself and use public transportation.

Both routes were well planned, we saw lots of things, the guide was nice and knowledgeable, everything was fine with one exception: Having enjoyed the marvelous Miniaturk for nearly two hours, we went to the Blue line stop 10 minutes ahead of time, just to be on the safe side, and had to wait for over 90 minutes for the next bus to come. When it finally arrived, the driver - a rather good-looking guy in snow-white shirt and with prestigious moustache just got off to buy some tea and have a friendly conversation with the car park guards. He did not even bother to say sorry. It didn't really matter because the weather was fine, none of us were in a hurry and it was nice sitting in the sun on pretty yellow benches but...

Great time on the Big Bus - We got to see both sides of Istanbul and how diverse and amazing the city is. I can't wait to return and continue exploring ancient beautiful Istanbul!

We use hop on hop off buses in all countries. It is a wonderful idea. I am just afraid it is not that good idea in Istanbul because of heavy traffic.

Just what you need to see the city in just one day! It's not cheap, but in a place where just a few people speak english is highly recommended! All the major monuments and places are here! Absolutely practical!
