Highly recommend for first time Tourist to Istanbul

Apart from value for money and great savings, tourist will have convenience to use one platform for all their bookings.
Istanbul Tourist Pass guides are well trained and very professionals.
Though one should not expect real time response, however their Whatsapp support team provides timely response.

Few Suggestions:
1. Combine the activities based on each area, so that new tourists won’t waste their time in planning the transportation between different locations on limited number of pass validity days.

2. Publish a video to guide customers on how to make best use of their passes.

Overall myself and my family enjoyed all the tours and hospitality of the guides.

Thank You.

Hello Dear Naveed,
Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review about your experiences to the future travelers around the world.

Also thank you for your suggestions. Istanbul Tourist Pass is active for more than 4 years and we are a tourism agency since 1994, however there is no limit to improve the service, of course. We are also planning to arrange combined tours to the locations as optional too.

Hope to meet you in the near future again with better service and full of different attractions for our guests.

Communication through WhatsApp was great and they helped with any questions that I had. I had no issues with any of the tours or getting tickets. Tour guides were very informative. While the app was a bit tricky to navigate, especially without WiFi, I was able to change any reservations by messaging them on WhatsApp.

Disappointing

Limited number of starting times for guided tours was very restrictive - prevented us seeing all we wanted. One guided tour Pier Loti the guide did not turn up. Pick-up process always took 1-2 hours.

The guides were very good

The guides were very good, but you could only go in to most of the listed places with a guide which some places had limited time slots which also clashed with others. If you went to the places without a guide you would have to pay again. Don't think we saved any money.
