    The alternative program was not bad.

    We had booked the Princes' Islands, but the weather was not like us. We were picked up at the hotel after we called the local provider as promised (20 min later). And it had rained and twisted for a long time, but alright, we wanted to go on a trip. After a short time by bus, and sorted by tour groups, our guide came and told us that due to the strong wind, no ships out. He offered us another tour, or money back. Since we had planned a tour, and did not intend to go back to the Grand Bazaar, we decided to do another tour. This was not so bad. we visited the Golden Horn, a mosque with the bones of a healer, we went by cable car. Something was inappropriate, was the attempt to turn us on something. It was about leather goods, only then art fashion show dan in the sale. As I said, everything else was fine.

    A great day !

    In the best weather I was picked up on time and transported to the meeting point, the grouping was done quickly and then I went straight to the pier! After an almost 2-hour boat trip with a show, we arrived on the island, because some other groups were queuing for the carriages, our guide showed us a little bit the place and the restaurant in which we ate later. The carriage ride was not quite my taste now, but okay! The food afterwards was great I had grilled sea bass which was delicious. After the meal there was 1.5 hours of free time, which I used to take a look at the place and have an ice cream (MADO) which I can only recommend. The return trip was on an even larger ship which was quite fast, so we were back on time as promised. Thanks to the guide for the great tour!

    Guide super good, spoke German, pick up and return to the hotel worked great. Tour was great the island first partly explored on foot nor a small tour of one of the oldest hotels in turkey, then the regscha tour, was great. The food was perfect, was really great for a tourist. Nice restaurant. Nice job GYG
