Kind staff, nice tour, but on the way back after disembarking the boat, the transfer to the hotel was very bad because we had to walk a long way to the vans that were parked in front of a leather clothing store/factory and we still had to wait a long time to get out because they wanted to sell us jackets, coats and the like...

I liked it very much. I did not like that. I had to pay to go to the beaches to swim. Nobody told me about that before. I left the island and that there are no cars. The bicycle I want it was not very good either.

It wasn't too bad. Lunch left something to be desired, there was an eyelash on my plate. I should have taken a simple excursion and eaten on the island. That's what I'd recommend doing anyway, there's no point in paying more for a lunch that's not up to scratch. On the other hand, the islands are magnificent and the organization is top-notch.

The trip was excellent and brilliant value for money. We really enjoyed the whole day and everything run smoothly. We loved the dancing on the boat which was a fun way to end the day. The islands are well worth seeing and was lovely to see a different side to Istanbul. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lunch was delicious too. Definitely recommend.

Super chill day. Loved the ferry ride and our guide was awesome. The islands are BEAUTIFUL. We found a little bakery with the best cookies.
