Realmente valió cada peso. Usamos entradas a los museos todo el tiempo y funcionó perfecto. Todo el trámite fue digital, no tuvimos que imprimir nada. Ojalá todos los tours fueran así.

Sin palabras

Superó lo que esperábamos. Nunca hubiéramos llegado a Estambul por nuestra cuenta. Recomiendo hacerlo temprano, hay menos gente y mejor luz. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe.

Superou as expectativas

Entregou tudo o que prometia e mais um pouco. Mahoma foi o fecho do dia. O guia deu dicas de restaurantes que foram certeiras. Contrataríamos de novo.

Amamos

Passou voando e ficamos com vontade de mais. O motorista dirigiu com muito cuidado todo o trajeto. Conhecer um pouco de Estambul no caminho foi um plus. Se estiverem em Buenos Aires, não percam.

Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. Lo de donaciones a las mezquitas estuvo muy bien pensado. Llegar a Mahoma fue impresionante. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

Casi perfecto

La pasamos bien, lo recomiendo con un par de salvedades. Tuvimos buen tiempo en Bósforo para sacar fotos tranquilos. El guía sabía mucho, aunque a veces costaba escucharlo con el ruido de la calle. El precio de las bebidas en el lugar es exagerado.
