Leila_I, Jan 2024

Istanbul has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember so I wanted to make my first trip there unforgettable despite working on a tight budget. A couple google searches lead me to iLinkTurkey. They offered everything I wanted and I saw the proof of that as soon as I stepped into the Istanbul airport. Having personal welcomes with the tour guide made me feel welcomed and ready to embark on the trip to my dream city. I was scared that by booking an itinerary-style tour, I would have no freedom but that thought went straight out when I saw our accommodating my tour guide was. He allowed me to take my time and explore the colorful neighborhoods of Taksim and Balaat. Their Bosphorus cruise was also really fun, I got to see the coastal views of Istanbul and the Fatih area. The ferries docked at the port are still my favorite photos. Safe to say, iLinkTurkey delivered what they promised. Value for price.

Booked this one for the affordable price tag and i think the experience i got was fantastic for that. Istanbul was pretty and the hotel i stayed with my wife was 5-star, with all high quality services. I was very much impressed with our room view. The breakfasts were free and provided for us, which i liked. The places we saw were also great and engaging. My wife fell in love with the lanterns we saw at the Grand bazaar and bought two to as souvenirs for our home back at the US.

This trip was fantastic! The tour guide and assigned driver were both friendly and helpful. Everything went smoothly and according to the schedule. My favorite place to visit was the Galata Tower, the views from up there were incredible. This a short yet fun trip. A long day but so worth it 😁
