Ibrahim, great to have met you! We booked this trip with a boat to the islands and he was very responsive and answered all questions we had. When meeting us, Ibrahim was making us feel very comfortable. We stayed in several bays and enjoyed awesome food that he had prepared for us. Really a great day, it was the best tour we had in Istanbul and we were lucky to have met his friends as well - definitely recommend this experience! Thorsten, Dani and Isa

Erholsame Tour.

Wir wurden gegen einen kleinen Aufreis vom Hotel abgeholt und zum Hafen gebracht. Die Bootstour war sehr schön erholsam. Wir haben viel Eindrücke von der Prinzessin Insel bekommen und konnten vom stressigen Alltag entfliehen. Auf dem Boot haben wir kleine Leckereien und Getränke erhalten. Die Tour würde ich immer wieder buchen. DANKE!

Spitze, vielen lieben Dank nochmal an Ibrahim - TOP zuverlässig, 100% zu empfehlen!!!

Ich habe bei Ibrahim eine Guten-Morgen-Istanbul-Tour für meinen Bruder mit Family als Geschenk gebucht, da sie auf dem Rückflug von Ägypten 6 Stunden Aufenthalt in Istanbul hatten. Es hat alles so hervorragend geklappt - Ibrahim hat alle vom Flughafen pünktlich abgeholt, mit Ihnen einen tollen Boots-Ausflug gemacht, viel über Istanbul erzählt, tolles Essen vorbereitet und sich wirklich bestens gekümmert. Alle waren voll begeistert! Ibrahim ist einfach super nett, 100% zuverlässig und echt empfehlenswert. Vielen lieben Dank noch einmal!
