    Ой, брат, Стамбул — это просто ух ты! Мы всей роднёй поехали, 6 человек с Актобе. Думали, просто посмотрим мечети, а тут целый сериал получился 😄 Айя-София такая большая, что мы чуть там не потерялись. хорошо, что гид как наш аға всё по полочкам рассказал. Понятно, с душой, даже бабушка поняла, и она-то у нас не так просто слушает. На Босфоре ветер, чайки кричат, будто тоже экскурсию слушают. Мы аж слёзы утерли от красоты, но не все, потому что у некоторых руки были заняты пахлавой 😂 Организация огонь: забрали, привезли, не пришлось ни за кем бегать. Всё чётко, по-казахски! Очень довольны, душевно отдохнули. Спасибо большое!

    Это было невероятно! Всего за один день я увидел Стамбул во всей его красоте — Айя-София, Голубая мечеть, Топкапы, Гранд базар... просто восторг! Всё было организовано идеально: перелёт, трансферы, экскурсия — ни о чём не пришлось думать. А гид — просто супер, рассказал много интересного и с душой. Настоящее приключение, которое запомнится надолго!

    Были на экскурсии в Стамбул из Кемера.Собрались рано утром. Нас забрали от отеля и довезли до аэропорта, затем короткий перелёт — и мы в Стамбуле. Увидели знаменитую Айя‑София, Гранд базар, прошлись по старым улицам, заглянули в мечеть Султанахмет — впечатлений море. Особенно запомнился момент, когда смотришь из окна автобуса: река Босфор, европейский и азиатский берег — грань между мирами. Экскурсия утомительная, но крутая: движемся с места на место, делаем паузы, фотографии получаются волшебные. Рекомендую всем, кто хочет сменить морское спокойствие Кемера на городской драйв и культуру Стамбула — будет ярко и запомнится!
