Muy buena atención
Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. El detalle del transporte con aire acondicionado sumó mucho. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.

Lo elegimos por las fotos y resultó incluso mejor en persona. La caminata hasta Bosphorus valió cada paso.

All went well, bar one detail I mention below. The guide spoke very fast and it was easy to lose the thread. Europe and Asia was the perfect finish to the day. There were several of us and we could not get seats together. A good option, especially on a first visit.

Positivo no geral
Boa opção para conhecer Estambul. Europa y Asia nos surpreendeu, não esperávamos algo assim. Sem esperas longas em nenhum momento. Teve um tempo morto no meio que poderia ser melhor aproveitado. Recomendo, com as ressalvas que fiz.

Muy contentos con la elección. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. Muy bueno para una primera vez en la ciudad. Si están por Estambul, no se lo pierdan.

Lo mejor del viaje
Lo elegimos por las fotos y resultó incluso mejor en persona. El guía fue un capítulo aparte: sabía muchísimo y contestó todas nuestras preguntas. Nos sirvió para decidir a dónde volver el resto de la semana. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. Si están por Estambul, no se lo pierdan.
