The tour was great but the cruise
We were a bit concerned about the tour due to some reviews we read, so we contacted the agency. Although originally we had booked the Black Sea tour, it was explained to us that the area could be dangerous due to the war, Aslan offered us this tour as an alternative. Our guide, Aslan, was intelligent, professional and spoke English beautifully. We ended up having a wonderful day and learning tons of stuff thanks to the live commentary on the cruise. It is true that we had to wait a bit to ride the cable car, but this is outside of the agency's control (Istanbul can get much busier than we anticipated during holidays!). Overall, lovely and well equipped boat, which made for a pleasant cruise, and interesting stop spots than we would have not visited on our own!
Good tour, it was easygoing and the guides were very pleasant. A suitable tour for family, not much walking required but long cruise on the boat that gives you lots of view and history. The only down side is lunch at Pierre Loti restaurant - food was stale and sub par, also the cable car ride was way too short than we imagined, with not much view but just graveyard
Cruise was Ok, but City Bus Tour with Cable Car - this part was boring: stop to see garden, but where the garden? We did not see. Cable Car- just 3 minutes down and nothing interesting to see
