About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- E1931TOxavierr0 contributionsAn amazing experienceWe booked the SL9 Full day tour. It was a fabulous tour. Our guide, Burak, was professional with a good sense of humour. He also demonstrated great knowledge. Unfortunately I can't remember the bus driver's name but he was good and we felt safe with him. With a decent lunch included in the price, it was worth every single cent. Do be prepared for a long day, 13+ hours in total. Thank you to Azmi Bouabana for recommending it.Written 5 September 2024
- 585pervint0 contributionsAmazing Turkiye!!! Amazing Azmi!!!!We used Azmi Bey for the entire Turkey itinerary and he was amazing. His tour company is called Sultanahmet Old City Travel and they are FANTASTIC!! Azmi is very fun to plan with and made our holiday so very memorable!!!!Written 11 August 2024
- 123joanne300 contributionsBeautiful and amazing TurkeyIt was just an excellent planning of our trip by plane from Istanbul to Kayseri and Goreme. Had a magnificent balloon ride at Capadocia and whole day tour with lunch. Night bus to Pamukkale and whole day tour again with lunch then back to Istanbul at night with transfers included!! Just a wow experience!! I highly recommend this company!! Truely well planned itineraries with on time greeters, professional guides and close WhatsApp follow-up from the company!Written 3 August 2024
- Sonia12310 contributionsUnderwhelmingTo be honest, you can do without visiting this place. Nothing is included other than the travel and lunch. There will be extra costs for zip line, cable car and quad bikes. It was a long day with not much to do. If you do not fancy one of the above activities, you simply have to wait untill the others are done.Written 16 May 2024
- jamesgP1186MC0 contributionsMagical balloon ride!Our travel agent Huseyin Tas from Old City Travel in Istanbul put an itinerary together for us that included the magical experience of a beautiful balloon ride! We were picked up from our hotel at 4:50 am and had the experience of a lifetime with another 80 balloons in the air! The landscape is stunning and sculptural. Don’t miss it while in Turkey!Written 9 April 2024

- GoPlaces242408034060 contributionsCappadocia Holiday 2023Cappadocia is indeed a fantastic destination with its unique landscapes, cave hotels, and cultural attractions. From exploring the fairy chimneys to taking ATV rides, there are plenty of exciting things to do and see ,It was have quite an experience exploring the Love Valley, pigeon houses, and the underground city the ATV ride added an extra touch of adventure and Cold weather in December 2023 made the trip even more magical. The weather was windy so we couldn't fly in the hot hair balloon ride but the same was arranged by our tour in Pammukale. The tour guide always on time to pick us up from hotel and also very cheerful and welcoming. We had opportunity to participate in Fashion show at leather shop was fun and also we have visited many Turkish delight shops for free testing of sweets , coffee and various nuts. The overall experience was great and thanks to our tour coordinator Huseyin Tas +90 551 394 47 46 very friendly , helpful and professional tour coordinatorWritten 11 January 2024

- yacxarat20210 contributionsGreat experience!Long time waiting to go to Mont Nemrut. Everything was well organized by the Tour operator. They have picked me up from the hotel in Istanbul. The driver, Ramazan and the tour guide, Huseyin, were very nice and respectful. They have explained every detail of the history of the region. I went by plane to Adıyaman, the earthquake didn’t destroy the city. The hotel was clean, employees were very kind. Mesopotamia is a place with great history, the beginning of our civilization, I recommend to go to more cities like Urfa and MardinWritten 29 May 2023
- Theemperormarkus0 contributionsToo far to go for a short tourEverything was pretty much as advertised. However, having done the tour it just didn’t seem worth spending the whole day cooped up in a van for what was essentially a one hour tour around the small site at Troy. The food, stops along the way etc were nothing special. Confirming we left the hotel at around 6:30am and were back at 9:30pm. The drivers, guides and quality of the transportation were all good. I think you just have to really want to go to Troy.Written 20 March 2023
- LizM0070 contributionsGreat tour; not great return tripTour of Troy itself is great; nice to take the ferry. Only real way to do this in one day from Istanbul, I think. However, the driver on the way back made some strange choices like driving on an unpaved farm road rather than the clearly immediately visible highway to Istanbul. May have slowed us down, and we were running behind schedule then anyway. Rest stop on the way back was BAD— terrible food, some of the worst I’ve eaten anywhere in the world. I’m sure better options were available (Turkey has great food!). Also super unhelpful that the driver left us, the family with the young overtired child LAST to drop off, crisscrossing Sultanahmet several times before he dropped us off at 9:30PM. It would have been nice if an effort had been made to drop the tired kid and his tired parents off the roughly 30- minutes before when the first guests were dropped off just down the street (if we’d realized, we would have gotten out there and walked instead of crossing the bridge to over by the tower and then back to Sultanahmet for three more stops before we were the last ones to be dropped off), but we did not until it was too late. If you do this with a kid in tow, insist on being dropped off first…Written 20 March 2023
- NaidooTravels0010 contributionsWaste of money and a day!Please do not waste your day or money on this tour. The boat that took us to the island had the most loud, ear aching music throughout the trip (to and from). The dj refused to change the music to accommodate most of its foreign tourists. They refuse to speak to you in English. They also charge you in dollars - so be careful. They have a young lady on board that casually comes to you and takes out photographs as if its free. Once she develops the photos, she brings it to you and asks for 90 USD! For a photo that can be taken out more professionally on your android cellphone. Once you get onto the island, the guide does not tell you anything about the significance on the island. When we asked why are we here, we were told you are here to take photos. Everywhere you walk, they bring along a man that sells you corn and nuts. you are then put in a spot were you are harassed to purchase. The guide that took our group was so unfriendly and arrogant that he ignored you when you had questions and continued playing candy crush on his phone. It was raining and we were just forced to stand in the rain for 2 hours taking photos. Do not waste you money on this trip. there is nothing to see except shop on the island. Its a trip created to support the businesses on the island. The staff on the boat were very rude and refused to communicate in English.Written 19 January 2023
- 272irfanz0 contributionsQuality service, amazing priceCan’t express the professionalism showed by the team at Old City Travels, Abdullatif was amazing and really broke down all the trips and what would be best to do as we were a family of 7. He looked after us with the prices and gave me and my family quality service at such a great price. Anyone that is thinking to come to istanbul and wants to experience the Turkish thrill, whether it’s going to places like supanca, the sophourus cruise for dinner, look no further. Thank you abdullatif for your hospitality, will definitely come back to istanbul and get everything done through you again.Written 4 December 2022

This is shopping tour. We spent 4.5 hours at several shopping stops and then only had 30 minutes to see historical Bursa. The guide was handling 2 buses so we received almost no information on the sites. However, she had lots of information on the shopping stops, which were all isolated and you had the choice to either go into the shop or stand next to the bus. One stop was over 90 minutes in a Turkish Delight shop, the same stuff you can buy in Istanbul. Lunch was at 6 pm. Then since we were so far behind schedule we had to chip in extra money to pay for the toll bridge back so we could be back before midnight. It was still over 14 hours and less than 2 were doing anything significant to Bursa.

see the magical green beauty of bursa by cable car.
At first I was afraid of heights, but when I got on the cable car, I overcame my fear of heights. The journey from Uludağ peak to the city center was wonderful. I would recommend it to everyone. The guide and tour operators were both understanding and helpful for everything.

We spent a wonderdul day in Bursa, we spent a very nice time, all was good. The snow, the chair lift up to the top of the mountain, everything was excellent. We had a surreal experience on the Cable cars up in the Mountain with breathtaking views. Lunch was provided with vegetarian option available. We visited a 600yr old tree, tasted chestnut honey & tasted very moorish turkish delight made out of honey! From teleferik went to Green Mosque and Koza Han to buy some silk. Koza Han is bursa’ s main silk market established in 1491. Lots of shops selling silk. The lower courtyard has lots of restaurant. Went to another mosque nearby. Spent some time at the market.The tour was very cheap and definitely worth every turkish lira!!

Terrible Terrible experience. This is a fraud!
Never book any Bursa tour from Istanbul. This is basically a shopping tour. Only 15 min at Green Mosque and the tour doesn't go to Bursa City, Great Mosque and Coza Han. The company claimed that this is due to COVID. But the tour guide told me they never go to Great Mosque and Coza Han ever.
Besides the 15 min Green Mosque, the transit time both way is 5 hours total. 1 hour ATV place at no scene. 4-5 shops for Turkish delight, silk, jam... Cable car up to a small mountain but only have simple lunch there, no time for hiking or anything.
I called tripadvisor about this situation. The tripadvisor refunded half of our payment and raised my concern to upper management. No matter how much they refund, you loose 9am-9pm the whole 12 hours just doing nothing.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for choosing us for your travel arrangements.
Bursa tour is starts from Istanbul and first we visit the city of bursa, then we stop for about 1 hour during our visit to the green mosque.
Yes, unfortunately, we are not visiting the Great Mosque and Koza Inn due to COVID 19
(AND ULUDAG İS NOT SMALL MOUNTAİN)
Uludağ, Bursa, within the borders of Turkey, the highest winter and nature sports center with an altitude of 2,543 m mountain. Uludag; It is the highest mountain of the Marmara Region. The length of Uludag extending in northwest-southeast direction reaches 40 km.
AND FOR 40 EURO NO ONE DOES FRAUD.
NOTE: 50% payment was refunded because this customer was not satisfied, but our customer made such a comment because she could not receive the full payment.
By the way, you can't do free tours in Turkey. Please stop acting like this.

This was the WORST experience ever. There was no tour or guide experience. You literally go from one store to another and get encouraged to spend money. They pick you up from Istanbul and the first stop is a Turkish Delight store!!! As if Istanbul is littered with turkish delighrs on every street corner. Second a Honey and Jam store. Then you stop for Lunch.
Then you go up to the Uludag Mountain and ride the cable car down which was a nice experience. Then its on to the Silk Markets near the Green Mosque. We got there were told the Green Mosque is around the corner if you want to go and check it out yourself.
I am very unhappy with the tour!
Also you'll find that some people on the tour paid less than half what is being advertised here on Tripadvisor.
