★★★★★★★★★★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.”
