5.00I was surprised by how much I liked this tour. It was very informative and interesting and allowed us to explore the city at our own pace.
The best option for exploring the city

5.00It was an enlightening and engaging experience. I discovered Istanbul at my pace, making all the stops and walks wherever I wanted. Plus, without the guide I would’ve never found all the nooks and crannies it led me to. I started it without knowing much about the city and finished being more aware of its history and sights than an average tourist. The app is easy to use.After having downloaded the tour you can use it without the internet connection. You see the itinerary on the screen, follow the route and stop at marked places where you are told about the place, architecture, its background and funny stories about it. Recommend the app for everyone who wants to get acquainted with the place in a profound and entertaining way. It’s like having the best of both worlds: a tailored guide at a reasonable price.

5.00We thought how to quickly get around Istanbul and at least remember some of it) decided to download the audio guide touring bee on Istanbul and we did it right. The hotel activated the guide (where the Wi-Fi was) and then without internet they used the route through the city quietly. We've gone all the way around the historic center, there are over 30 stops on the route. Stopped by the landmark, played audio and we were told about the place, the history of the city, some local jokes. Very informative and interesting. The navigation itself is also excellent - used the map in the app itself, all corners and corners are adequately displayed. The cool thing is, some places we wouldn't have wrapped up if we hadn't downloaded the audio guide, they were so unobvious. The guide took us to hidden cisterns, parkways that few people walk on, and because of that we discovered cool hidden places

5.00What a great tour. Just long enough for a very hot day and saw all the sights. Starting point a little out of the way, so we switched between numbers, starting in the middle. Great value guide.
