جولة صباحية رائعة في إسطنبول"

استمتعت كثيرًا بهذه الجولة. زيارة مسجد السليمانية والتجول في أحياء بالات وفنر كانت من أبرز اللحظات. الدليل السياحي كان محترفًا وشرح لنا التاريخ بشكل مبسط.🦋🦋

Nice

This half-day tour offered a comprehensive look into Istanbul's diverse history. The visit to the Bulgarian Iron Church was particularly fascinating. The guide's storytelling brought each site to life. A must-do for history enthusiasts visiting the city.

Boğazda Unutulmaz Bir Tur

Kısa Boğaz turu, İstanbul gezimin en güzel anılarından biri oldu. Şehrin siluetini denizden izlemek harikaydı. Rehberin anlatımları bilgilendiriciydi ve çay servisi çok hoştu. Herkese tavsiye ederim💖💖🥹
