Hello dear Mandy Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Bosphorus cruise, but we’re truly sorry that other parts of the experience did not meet your expectations. As we stay in old city, the main attractions are located there , that is why we provide a walking tour. Also there is no car traffic in old city. Your comments about the waiting times, lack of clear communication, and confusion regarding the itinerary are genuinely valuable to us. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide. We will be reviewing the details of your tour with our guiding team to ensure clearer communication and smoother coordination moving forward. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to offer you a much improved experience in the future.
