★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 197 reviews · 1 day (approx.) · from $69Our pick

Istanbul hop-on hop-off bus review covering stops, traffic, audio guide, value, timing, and tips for using the route wisely.

“Overpriced, poor implementation of schedule (long waits for next busses), and English audio with a difficult British accent. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the busses spotless and modern with USB charging outlets at every seat. It would have been faster and cheaper to use the trams to go everywhere.”

Review of Istanbul’s open-top bus tour, covering sights, traffic, audio, ticket issues, value, route stops, and who should book.

“Worst hop on hop off bus, would not recommend. Better off using mass transit. Traffic is insane, over 4 hour round trip and did not get off the bus except at mandatory stop 1 for 45 min. Don’t typically write reviews but this tour ruined our vacation. Some passengers were cutting it close to make it back to cruise ship port.”

Review of Antalya’s panoramic bus tour from Kemer, with Lower Duden Waterfall, Kaleici, lunch, hotel pickup, and boat trip.

“In relation to other similer tours, this was a expence tour, we chose this one, because it looked good for us as descriped. The Duden Waterfall was good. But the guideed tour in the old town of Antalya was not good,.The two main spots of Antalya, the Yivli Minare Mosche and the Clock Tower Saat Kulesi we was not able to see. Without that an old city tour of Antalya is not complett. The boat tour, which was include in the price, was canceled for weather reason. We hope we will get an refund.”

6.Istanbul Panoramic Evening Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · from $0

See Istanbul’s top sights by night, cross the Bosphorus, and explore both continents on a two-and-a-half-hour bus tour.

“Istanbul is a huge city, and I wouldn't have been able to get the full effect of that unless we took this tour. The buses do a huge loop through Istanbul that starts/stops at Sultanahmet Square only. This is not a continuous hop-on and hop-off bus service. It's a true bus tour. It's easy to catch this bus as well as do the Mosque and Palace Tours all in one day.”

They take you through all main tourist attractions of the city and tell you about them in both English and Turkish. The guides are really kind, friendly and supportive, complete professionals. They gave full attention to us during the trip. Highly recommended.”
