Just brilliant. We really enjoyed the Europe and Asia Continents Cologne part. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning. One detail: the seats are not the most comfortable on a long run. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Best day of our stay in Estambul. We used private Boat Trip the whole time and it worked perfectly. The only miss was no water available, especially in that heat. If you are in Estambul, do not miss it.

A wonderful experience
We booked this on a whim and it ended up being our favourite day. Including spanish Guided tour takes a worry off your hands. The guide knew exactly what to include, it never dragged. If you are in Estambul, do not miss it.

Estuvo bueno, con altibajos. El paisaje en Autocarro no entra en una foto. Es más accesible de lo que parece, no hace falta estar entrenado. Los baños en el camino son bastante básicos.

Vale a pena, com alguns ajustes. Chegar em Bósforo foi impressionante. Ótimo custo benefício. Leve protetor solar e água, o sol é forte. Os banheiros no caminho são bem básicos. Recomendo, com as ressalvas que fiz.

Nos fuimos conformes. Bósforo nos voló la cabeza, no esperábamos algo así. Muy buena relación precio calidad. Que venga con salida de hoteles céntricos hace toda la diferencia. Se hizo un poco largo en la parte del medio. Lo recomiendo, con las aclaraciones que hice.
