An unforgettable and dreamlike experience - The Hotel Seven Hills in Istanbul is very, very nice. The staff is very friendly, attentive and child-friendly. Particularly friendly welcome from Mrs Fatima, Mr Murat and especially Mr Manager Ozan every time at the entrance, they asked us every time if everything fits with us and if we need anything etc. very, very friendly. We definitely recommend this place! Especially for families with children this hotel is highly recommended. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The rooms are clean, large and comfortably furnished. The breakfast was delicious and we tasted very good. We felt completely comfortable and would love to come back! On the terrace you even have the opportunity to feed seagulls - our child was especially looking forward to this every morning after breakfast

Tour - I went on the boat trip today. The boat was very good. I especially liked the tour and the staff. The 2 hours were not too little and not too much. Unfortunately, the day I took the boat tour was very windy. In itself would only recommend this tour.

My experience - Chehrazad T. - I had a wonderful experience with my tour guide, Ilayda. I learned a lot about Istanbul's history and saw a lot of the old city center. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone visiting Istanbul who wants to see the city's highlights and learn a lot about the monuments. Ilayda is a wonderful and friendly guide who takes the time to guide tourists. I look back on my visit there fondly. Best, Chehrazad T.

Great - It was a memorable experience which was taken care of very nicely by our tour guide Ms. Ilaida. She has a great sense of humour and knows how to handle her business. She was full of fun and energy and took us through the whole tour with great joy.

Amazing tour of the lovely historic places in Instanbul - We were a group of 5 who booked this tour within 24 hours of it taking place . From start to finish the whole tour was amazing.. we can't fault it .. our tour guide Eli was fantastic. From sharing all the history to answering all our questions. The main thing for us was the proffesionalism of all the staff particularly Eli from being picked up from our hotel to being dropped off over 12 hours later. It is definitely recommended I give this group tour 10/10 The lunch provided was 5* starter/main/Dessert including soft drinks and the cafe staff was so welcoming too. I would defo recommended a visit there too in front of Ayub Al ansari masjid

Our First Time in Istanbul - Our recent trip to Istanbul was our first, and we wanted to share our experience to help future travelers to Turkey. For us, Istanbul turned out to be quite expensive, much more so than we had anticipated. We were staying in a tourist-heavy area, so that might have contributed to the higher prices, but it was still a bit of a shock. There are many heavy smokers in Istanbul. On the positive side, the landscape and scenery in Istanbul are absolutely stunning. The city's blend of modernity and history is awe-inspiring, and the public transportation system, including the trains and trams, was superb. It's very easy to get around and explore the city. However, when it comes to food, we were somewhat disappointed. We were expecting the rich flavors that we often enjoy in Germany at Turkish restaurants, but many of the dishes we had in Istanbul didn't meet our expectations. The taste was often off, and a few times the food was completely different from what we thought we'd be getting. Back home in Germany, we have access to fantastic Turkish food at reasonable prices, so perhaps our standards were set high. One experience that stood out – and not in a good way – was almost having my wallet stolen. Pickpocketing is unfortunately common in touristy areas. Last but not least, beware of the taxi drivers there. They are not honest.
