    150€ sind zu teuer, Dolmabahce Palast und Eintritt Hagia Sofia nicht einmal inkludiert. Meeting points teils schwer zu finden, Führungen finden zum Teil nur sehr selten statt Touren starteten immer später weil das Überprüfen der Buchungen aller Touristen sehr umständlich erfolgt ist per WhatsApp etc. Kopfhörer gab es nur bei einer einzigen Führung ansonsten musste man zusehen möglichst nahe beim Guide zu bleiben um etwas hören zu können
