I had an amazing one day trip with them at a super reasonable price. They picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat, in there our guide Suleyman gave us a tour of the beautiful panoramic view we had of both sides of istanbul. He explained the buildings we were passing by and their history. We visited two of the prince's islands, we has 2.5 free hours on the first one. If you take the bus to the island's monastery you can have a drink or just sit to appreciate the amazing view. Special thanks to Oktay who helped me so much especially on the first island, and with the rest of the team they did an amazing job animating the trip and putting music from every group's countries and teaching us turkish dances before we headed back.
The trip to Sapanca and Maşukiye was wonderful with Nehir Travel Company and our guide Osman. He explained all the important places we visited very well. I highly recommend them. Thank you, Nehir Travel, and thank you, Osman!
The trip to Sapanca with this travel company was very good. Our tour guide, Osman, was very friendly, helpful, and fun. He was patient with us even when we were late and always kept a good mood with his jokes. Highly recommended
I ordered a T7 full day Byzantine and Bosphorus tour with Nehir Travel. Information I found on my hotels reception desk. I was picked up next to my hotel. Our tour gide has fluent english. 1-st half of the day we visited 2 mosq's - Blue and Sofia, also Hippodrome. Trip was informative. After lunch we go to Bosphorus tour by boat. Nice views. Trip to Pierre Loti hill didn't impress me so much. Only nice views of Istanbul from there. Big queue of tourists to get down by cable ride. ( Even bigger to lift up 😀 ) I didn't visit last mosque on trip, tired already. All tourists transfered back to their hotels after. Tranfer busses with AC, arrived on time. Good planning, no waste of time. Explored all best of Istanbul in 1 day - that's what I wanted. Happy to share that with you. 😀
Nehir Travels provided excellent service, with experienced and courteous guides who made our visits comfortable. A special thanks to Osman, our guide during Sapanca visit, who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trip to Istanbul/Turkey!
