Thanks for great video. I will have two 9 hour layovers in Istanbul and planning to take morning and evening tours. How long was this tour and what time it started?
@@stumbras2000 thanks for watching! The tour lasts about 5-6 hours and the time is starts depends on when you land. Be sure to check the tourIstanbul counter when you arrive.
Thank you so much. I did get more info. through the airlines and they feel confident I’ll make my flight. My flight gets in the same time as the evening tour takes off. My tour is a half day and will get me back to the airport in time. They have all day tours too. Mine will be all on the European side. Thanks again.
thanks for posting this video! I'll be there in a week. I was wondering, is it possible to have a bag with the laptop and things with you? I saw some people were having some kind of luggage... Thank you!
@@elenaparau thanks for watching! Yes you can take your laptop bag with you. Bigger bags they will keep safe under the bus (in the storage compartment)
I booked this for november. Traveling to Phuket Thailand but have a 9 hr layover in Istanbul. We could only do the 3 hr tour due to layover time. What did they do with your luggage?
@@ashleyrena85 That’s great, I went to Phuket last year also you’ll have a great time. You’ll need to reclaim your luggage and they will store it on the bus for you until you head back. You’ll have ample time to check in/check your bags before heading off.
@@RoadmanRichHello! I will be in Istanbul but only for 8.5-hour layover (counting between first flight landing and next flight takeoff). Do you know if I will get Turkish Airlines’s guarantee to have me make my next flight-i.e., accounting for customs, security, etc.-if I choose an appropriately timed tour?
Hey @@ZhangK71 I’m not sure if 8.5 hours is enough to do the full tour, but they will advise you once you get there if you’re able to. We had a guarantee for our next flight, so I’m sure they will do the same for you, but please double check just to make sure.
How much in advance can you reserve this tour? I fly through Istanbul in December and when I try reserving on the website it says that there are no available tours.
Allright, thanks, but if the luggage/ bagage we have to claim first and re checkin, or it will automatically transfered by airline (both using turkish airline) ??
Hello.. i'm from Indonesia 🇮🇩 it's Valid or not tour schedule on the Touristanbul Website and on the Airport Counter? I mean something they have different schedule or some schedule not running, 😊
Hey man, thanks for watching! If I’m not mistaken it took us about an hour to reach the city centre. Might be a bit longer by public bus so I suggest you take a taxi/uber.
I’m headed there this fall with a night time arrival. My flight leaves at 1:55. I’m booked on a 8:30 tour, how long is the tour? Are there night time tours? How late?
Not sure if they offer night time tours. The tour itself was around 4 hours long and they gave us about 2 hours to get back & through security etc. there might be other options available, so reach out to them directly to find out.
Hi! Thanks for sharing. I would like to know if we have the opportunity to enter buildings such as the Blue Mosque, or if we can only view them from the outside?
Hey thanks for watching. Yes, you’ll have the opportunity to go into the blue mosque or Hagia Sophia, but for a limited time. Just note that the lines can be pretty long.
WOW! Can't believe that tour was free - so awesome! And what a cute cafe at the end, i want that coffeeee
Yeah I know right it was a pleasant surprise for our long layover!
Great tour guys. We're heading to Turkey in May. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
That’s awesome! Thanks for checking out the video, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Safe travels! 🛫

How was the weather? When did you go to Istanbul? Will gonna have a 15 hour layover in May
Weather was good! We were there 4-5 months ago. 15 hours is plenty of time to get out and explore.

@@RoadmanRich Awesome. Thank you for replying! Will definitely get a straight commitment from them before going through passport control.
You didn't mention it, but don't you have to register online with your plane ticket?And then when you get there, you have a reservation?
Hey I actually registered at the counter when I got there. I’m sure you can register online though.
How much in advance can you reserve this tour? I fly through Istanbul in December and when I try reserving on the website it says that there are no available tours.
@@ibrahimhafeez8782 you can reserve at the counter or when you arrive in Turkey
Which tour did you choose, is it only till 11.00 am or till 15.00 pm ?
@@ardinaningrum7038 we did the 11am tour
Allright, thanks, but if the luggage/ bagage we have to claim first and re checkin, or it will automatically transfered by airline (both using turkish airline) ??
@@ardinaningrum7038 we had to claim and re-check our bags, but they give you ample time to do so.
How long did you take to check in back the 2nd flight? Thanks
They dropped us 2 hours before the flight so we had plenty of time to check in.

hey bro ! great video. Thank you. how many time to reach center town from airport by bus ?

Do we require Turkish visa for this?
@@cpunit747 Not to my knowledge, they didn’t require us to have one. However I would double check that!
Were you able to go inside the mosque?
@@arjumand8511 yep you had the opportunity to go inside the Hagia Sophia.
We went to blue Mosque and was able to go inside and take pictures
@@Maria-jb3ll really? We didn’t get that option probably due to the time frame. We did get to see the outside and take pictures which was nice.
Which tour did you go on? I'm not seeing any that go inside the hagia sofia
Love it ❤
Thank you! ♥️

Do u need a visa with a US passport ?
I believe you can stay for up to 90 days without a visa as a U.S. official passport holder, but check the embassy website to be sure!
You pay stg (like 50 or 100$ not sure about the exact amount) at the entrance. Better google yrself.

Haha I didn’t notice that!
Did your passports get stamped?
Yep sure did
