This tour is not rushed. The content is fully consistent with the description. This tour combines great impressions of the places visited, a walk along the Bosphorus, and interesting facts and stories from a tour guide.
Furkan (our guide) is an interesting and educated storyteller with deep knowledge of the history of the country and the city, culture. His story was interesting and not boring.
5 stars!
Thank you Furkan!

I picked this tour because it was advertised as a 5 hour trip. Allowing for an hour each way, I assumed we would have 3 hours at the palace. However, we were just an add-on to another tour, so we were driven to where they were having lunch which was an endless drive from our hotel and had to wait until 1.45 to start the tour although the advertised starting time was 12.30. After a stop in a panoramic area for 15 minutes we retraced our steps back to the Dolmabahce Palace and had 1 hour of a rushed guided tour with a guide who was less than informative. 15 minutes free at the end of the 45 min guided tour did not give us enough time to even walk around the Palace. I rate this trip as a total disappointment.

It would have been nice to see all sections of the palace, but the tour guide seemed to think we did not have time.
