Istanbul: Dolmabahçe Palace and Uskudar Guided Tour

5.Dolmabahçe Palace and Uskudar Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 35 reviews · 4 hours · from $354

Small-group Dolmabahçe Palace and Üsküdar tour with Bosphorus views, bridge cruise, and an Istanbul coffee stop, with hotel pickup.

“Vi ble hentet på hotellet en halv time etter avtalt tid og kjørte i 1 time uten å få noe informasjon. Kjørte forbi Dolmabachce Palace hele veien til den asiatiske siden for så å snu å kjøre tilbake til Dolmabachce Palace. Besøket på Camlica Hill ble bare avlyst, og omvisningen på Dolmabachce Palace ble redusert til ca. 1 tim. begrunnelsen var at det skulle arrangeres en middag for presidenten den dagen. Vi fikk ingen informasjon på forhånd om at turen ble vesentlig forandret. Vi betalte 35 euro for å sitte i en ukomfortabel varm bil i 2 timer og fikk 1 times amputert omvisning.”

“El Palacio Dolmabahçe, sin lugar a dudas, es uno de los clásicos que no puede faltar en el viaje a Estambul. Vale la pena visitarlo, sacarse una foto en "La Puerta al Cielo" y tomarse una cafecito en la cafetería del jardín. La modalidad del E-pass fue estupenda, y poder saltarse la cola en temporada alta es super recomendable. Obtener el audio-guía fue super sencillo si contabas con tu ID/DNI/Pasaporte.”

We toured the palace for 2.5 hours. Then the boat came to pick us up. Drinks and food were served. We were lucky the weather was nice. By the way, if you are a good kid, you can also see dolphins :)”
