We have 4 passengers interested in these dates, however, they want to stay another night in Istanbul, is it possible to get a quote for 2 double rooms August 4-5 in 3 star hotel

our hotel is Recital hotel and extra night is 125 us dollars per double room per night Including breakfast if you are agree we can add it to your package

is breakfast and transportation from and to airport included in the package the itinerary says yes but is also under additional services? how much more for an additional night at the hotel? dates are tentative since we have not finalized our travel package

breakfast and airport transfers are included in package. i checked itinerary but i cannot see its mentioned breakfast and airport transfers are extra

What is the cost for a night of pre accomodation? Does the tour include galata tower and Bosphorous cruise please?

an extra night is 115 dollars per person including breakfast. bosphorus cruise is including in package but we dont have galata tower

how active is this trip ie would someone with problem knee struggle, is each day a 'full day' ie 8 - 5pm or ??, is there free time at each of the stops, where in Istanbul is the hotel located, at the conclusion of the tour are you able to be dropped off at cruise terminal, our flight arrives in on 22nd rather early - 5.35am would that be an issue?

In Istanbul our tours mostly walking tours but we can talk with our guide and he can make the tour with breaks. The hotel is very centrally located which is only 500 meters away from old city and grand bazaar. After the tour sure we can drop you to cruise terminal. From 8 am to 5 pm are approximate timings we have flexibility to end the tour earlier. 5:35 am arrival is not a big problem only the hotel check in time is 2 pm but we are informing our hotels for early arrivals and if they have availability they allow early check in (not guaranteed up to the hotel availability).

Can we please get some details about the hotels we will be staying at - what star rating or the name of the actual hotel if possible?

in istanbul we are using RECITAL HOTEL OLD CITY 4*

What hotel do you use and will you collect from airport and transport to hotel regardless of arrival time. If I book this my flight will not arrive until 2100? My return flight will not be until 2200 do you transport from hotel to airport later in the day?

We do pick up from airport untill 00:00 am and we make also return transfer untill 00:00 am. We use recital hotel old city which is just 500 meters away from hagia sophia and other museums in istanbul old city.

Where hotel is usually located, in Sultanhamet (Old City) or Beyoglu (New City)?

Our hotels we use usually in old city (sultanahmet area) close to the attractions

The 2 afternoons we had with guide were good but surprised that even though your info said go for short drive we went on Tranway (and paid). Also we didn't get to go across to suspension Bridge to Asian side of Istanbul. Guide seemed very surprised when I showed him the printout of our tour details. Your information should also state that to enter any of the attractions you mentioned visiting cost extra !!Show more
