Princess Island Tour with Lunch & Ferry Ride

This tour promised visits to beautiful beaches with blue waters great for families The reality is the boat firstly was cramped like a tin of sardines The toilets were something out of a horror film , the boat looked like something you'd get on to pay people's smugglers No air con,dirty ship ,over priced 45 euros with lunch which is not even worth mentioning Had to gruel this for 7 hours couldnt wait to disembark and as I'm writing this ist 14.53 and were here until 1600 before heading back What a waste of day Never again Families be warned The only good was the lentil soup Water is 10 lira small bottle

Highlights were the views and thus git 3 stars. Pickup n drop off was ok van full like 13/15ppl. As per guidelines stated on tour info guides and guests must wear masks. Didn’t happen, half staff rarely had them on , and 75% of guests didn’t either (if were eating or drinking understandable but not the case) never enforced masks which is Turkish regulation. Only time they did was on islands when cops went by n they told ppl to do so and cops would stop n make u put on. I was not outside on upper deck, was cold for me so i stayed inside at a far away table. First island... took on 10 min walk n did 2 photo opps, no explanation as to where we were. Did10 min at shore to do pix. Next island got off n walked to a electric bus (9seats) n took in 5-10 ride just thru streets, no commentary. Then hit off photo shot then “2 min walk to boat” no was almost 10. But was downhill so all good. Then 10 min ride to next island as we git iff we got our lunch( boxed from a restaurant i assume, it was ok but no beverage, main ,rice ,veg, salad and bread n yogurt. Not even water. And we couldn’t eat on boat at tables. Had to eat on shore, most sat on ground or rocks or bench( if u could find one open cause other ships there too, luckily i found a shaded one) from time to get off ship till board again you got like 1 hr 10min. This was only free time. I trued yo shop but i was too paranoid about missing departure since only short time. And then from island back to Istanbul. As it stated numerous-times horse drawn carriage (never told or offered) ...(which was main reason i bought tour),also said electrical bikes ( was told about on last island that we could rent at our expense, but per program it sounded like we get complimentary and isn’t listed as an exclusion section). Like i said best thing about tour was gorgeous views from ship. Worst was the non compliance of mask policy esp by staff or enforcement of passengers wearing them esp indoors w no open windows
