Fun tour and amazing guide!

My husband and I had a tour in Topkapi Palac and was guided by Ayse (Aisyah). She was very informative and super friendly! We learned a lot about the place, as well as the history behind it and its relations with other places.

We also had a tour at Hagia Sophia Mosque with Ilke Nur! She was very accommodating and friendly, constantly interacting with us and asking us questions just to test us!

I highly recommend Istanbul Tourist Pass guided tours if you want to learn more about Istanbul and its rich history! We are also very happy and satisfied with both tour guides. Thank you Istanbul Tourist Pass!

Bosphorus Dinner and Dance

The company organises the Dinner through Pereme Tours. We were charged 24.75 Euro for the pickup and drop off. The driver never turned up till 2030, and then they have the cheek to tell us to take the taxi to the boat departure point. The address hade been completely mentioned in the booking form so therefore there was no excuse for the driver not being able to find the hotel.
We ended up paying extra for the dinner and neither Istanbul tourist pass nor Pereme tours have bother to respond. Both companies to be avoided at all cost

Dear Mr. Bhargava,

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced during the Bosphorus Dinner and Dance tour organized through Pereme Tours. Your feedback is essential, and I'm truly sorry for the letdown in service.

I completely understand your disappointment with the delayed pickup and the subsequent request to take a taxi to the boat departure point. This falls short of the service standards we aim to provide. I assure you that we take this matter seriously, and I will personally investigate the issues raised to prevent such incidents in the future.

Regarding your additional expenses for dinner, I regret the oversight and any inconvenience it caused. We are committed to addressing this matter promptly. Please reach out to us at contactæistanbultouristpass.com so we can refund the amounts you have paid to this service.

I apologize for the lack of response from both Istanbul Tourist Pass and Pereme Tours. Rest assured, we will rectify this situation. Please allow me to escalate this issue, and we will make every effort to provide a resolution promptly.

Your feedback is crucial to our improvement, and I appreciate your patience in this matter. If you have any additional details or concerns, please feel free to share them.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I sincerely apologize for any negative impact on your experience.

Best regards,

All was easy after the first tour

All was easy after the first tour, when we understood how is working.
It would be easier if in the meeting points would be a company flag, so that everyone knows where to gather, as it is not very clear, and the guides usually comes few min before the starting time.
