What to expect

The only city in the world located on two continents, Istanbul is an incredible city to visit. And as Bulgaria shares a border with Turkey, it makes a great day trip destination. You'll leave in the evening and arrive early in the morning for a full day of exploring. Highlights include a bus tour passing Topkapi Palace and more, a quick visit to the UNESCO-listed Blue Mosque, plus some optional extras to customize the trip.

    The whole trip to Istanbul was a waste of time because we didn't have an English guide and didn't have a clue what we were doing and where we were going.

    We were very much looking forward to this, in particular Sultan Ahmet Mosque (which we found out on the bus was closed for refurbishment) & the Hipodrom (which we did not get to see & had no explanation as to why). We were aware of no English guide, but anticipated a few instructions would be in English. They weren’t & we had to constantly badger the guide for information. The highlight was the boat trip (an ‘add on’) Our advice, cancel if no English speaking guide if it’s your only language.

    This was a fantastic, brilliantly organised trip. We were the only English speaking travellers and the guide went out of her way to translate for us. We felt like she was her personal guide. The sights and experiences covered were awesome. Breakfast was included. We had to pay for boat trip but it was worth it. The only drawback was the difficult overnight travel, although the coach was ideal and staff were very helpful.
