Ann· May 28th, 2024Istanbul Is such a huge, busy & vibrant city w/so much to see & do, it would have been overwhelming & such a waste of precious time to try navigating that on our own without the help of TourRadar and our excellent guide Ozzie. With a guide, you could skip the LONG lines and discover the best in sites, history, food, etc. I especially enjoyed Ozzie recommending her favorite food places which we got to sample a few and they were delicious!! Some of us even returned the next day to eat more!Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks Ann for the great review.

Asked on February 10th, 2025Do we visit inside both Blue Mosque and Hagia Mosque inside or no? I know we spoke couple days back regarding the Grand Bazaar shopping area but we don't visit that area right only on free time on our own. I'm thinking some time June 2026.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025
You would need to purchase the tickets to the Blue Mosque which can be organised by the CEO since it is across from the Hagia Sophia. As for the Grand Bazaar, you would need to visit and shop during your free time, but the CEO will once again help assist with directions and tips/tricks.

Peter
Asked on December 4th, 2024The brochure mentions an add-on Walking/boat tour for the final day. I was wondering if it could be added on at the beginning as we need to fly home on Sunday and cannot change that date. Would that be possible? If so, how does that work?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2024
Looking at the itinerary it seems that it will be possible, but we have reached out to our operations team to verify it will not be an issue with the welcome meeting on day 1. Please allow 3-5 business days for our team to provide an update on this for you.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2024
Our Local team has responded today to advise sadly the Walking Tour and Bosphorus Cruise will not be available on day 1 due to logistical reasons and only available on day 4 of the mini tour.
