We Visited Istanbul and the Reality Surprised Us

- Imagine if you had to commute to work every day by going from one continent to another continent? For many residents of Istanbul, this is a reality! Istanbul is the only city in the world that lies on two different continents. One side of the city is in Europe, and across the water, the other side of the city is in Asia. It’s our first time ever in Istanbul, and we couldn’t be more excited to visit this bucket list destination. Thanks to GoTürkiye and Turkish Airlines for hosting us!

What a fun Vlog I Just booked a trip to Turkey for April 2024 going to Istanbul & Cappadocia I’m super hyped
Ah that's amazing! You're gonna have an amazing time.
Best travel vlog on the internet. Stay humble and keep the good content coming!
I had no idea Istanbul was so amazing…definitely a destination I’ll consider now. Thanks for sharing your experiences…
🇹🇷❤you
We were there for a layover and have been dreaming of going back! Loved seeing what you all did.
We are going to Istanbul next week and booked your photographer! I can’t wait for our photoshoot! I have two boys (15 & 12) instead of girls. They are going to love the cats!
Yay! Say hi to Alpay and the team from us!
I absolutely love the flying dress and fancy photo shoot. Such gorgeous attire!
Wow! Amazing must add this to my future Trip. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing an amazing experience. Lovely family.
Hi everyone, thanks for sharing Turkey. I have not been there yet, but the more i see of it the tempted i am to visit. Enjoy your stay
Thank you! It was a really cool trip. Highly recommend going!
The rooftop photoshoot was stunning!
Wonderful video, wonderful city and beautiful family. 🗣🗣Let me put Istanbul on my bucket list.
You guys all look gorgeous in those traditional Turkish outfits! ❤
Every so often you have to do the "just for the gram" photo. Great memories and you all looked great during the photo shoot.
Thank you so much for sharing. We love the educational component to your content.
You guys really inspire me to travel with my daughter. Would be nice to make it a regular thing and upload to RUclips as well since she thinks she's an influencer. She's 7 and I'm just scared that she won't have much fun traveling with me. 😩 Great video as always. One Love. 🙏🏽
Looks beautiful in Istanbul…loved your photo shoot, you all looked stunning ❤
This looks so fun and charming! Thank you for shedding light on such a hidden gem. Question: do you think a guide is necessary for the average traveler? How many days would you say is needed?
Morning TopFlight family. Never knew this that Istanbul layed on 2 continents. Would love to try their food. Always looks so seasoned, diverse and yummy. The museum. The baklava. Love that your daughters are willing to try new foods. The traditional clothing and photo shoot looks fun. Omg goodness. A whole show to get get an ice cream 🍦. The mosque looks regal. The candy 🍭 shop always fun. Like the miniature gardens. My husband would love the vintage cars. Was saying to myself great the cats are not feral as the one swung at your daughter. Her little face disappointed. Well that kitty was rare. Most seem welcoming. The next landmark mosque huge. Beautiful. Ooh. The Asian side. Kidzania. Fun and interactive attraction. Wow. The balloons. The architecture. Beautiful. Love your educational vlogs. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.
Hi Cydney it's always lovely to see you here! Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed this one! Yes Ella caught that kitty in a bad mood lol but all the others we met were very welcoming and friendly.
Noooooope!!! I stand by my IG comment. I would have DIED 😂
Gah we were so close to visiting this city! Glad you guys got to go!!
Beautiful video , and you guys look amazing doing your photo shoot I love it .❤
Thank you! It was fun to be really extra for a change lol
Yesss a new video!

Aw thank you!
@@TopFlightFamily you guys really are. I visited 2 countries earlier this year based off of your 22 countries series.
Excellent content!
Love the video! Curious about the tour guide - who/what company did you book with and would you recommend a private tour guide as the way to see the city?
The rooftop photoshoot looks like so much fun 🤩
It really was! Sean and Ella felt like princesses!
Wonderful trip!!!!
That burger actually looked really delicious!!!
OMG we stayed at the Grand Hyatt when we were in Istanbul this summer too - how funny!
Haha it's a good choice! Hope you all enjoyed your stay there too.
@@TopFlightFamily We did! We also went to the same baklava place you guys did - soooo good - Istanbul is such a cool city
I wish I watched this video before my trip to Istanbul 😊
Amazing! ❤
Wow. What a great trip.
I'm happy to see you try the islak hamburger and have an opportunity to see both sides of the city. Getting dondurma is always a fun experience as well ☺️.
when my family and I were in Istanbul we stayed a few nights in a small hotel in Sultanahmet. Towards the end, we got to stay in the Park Hyatt, which was an amazing experience
Yes the hotel was great! The restaurant had this seafood soup that was sooo good!
@@TopFlightFamily You guys should go to New Delhi next. Such an awesome city
Love the dresses. The girls looking amazing in the beautiful outfits! ❤

How do you find guides in each city you visit?
For this particular trip we were working with GoTürkiye, which is Turkey's tourism board, so they arranged the guide. But on other trips, our favorite places to find guided tours are Airbnb Experiences, Tours By Locals and of course, TripAdvisor is always pretty comprehensive! We probably use Airbnb Experiences the most though. I find that the experiences and guides there aren't as old-school, and tend to be a little more in tune with what today's travelers are interested in.
Girl you look STUNNING in that dress
Ataturk and his adopted daughter were ruthless in their genocide of Armenian people. Please read Notes on a Foreign Country by Suzy Hansen. That wouldn't stop me from visiting Turkey but this story is not often told. It looks amazing.
Turkish languages go as far as china
Ironic the city was called Constantinople. Really sad the city and country was once a Christian empire at one time.
Hey what's up Top Flight Family! Happy Sunday! Wow thank you for sharing this trip with us! I've always wanted to visit Istanbul. It has some amazing architecture and I'm obsessed with architecture😁This is definitely a "Bucket List" destination and now you guys have solidified that! It seems the girls had more fun than the parents in this one! Istanbul has tons of attractions for kids it seems and that great! And the food looks amazing! Carmen that indigo blue dress you was rockin was beautiful and Serge was lookin regal in his Istanbul "Drip" I might add as well Thank u for pointing out that it's important to visit the Asia side as well. It seems the Asia side is more my speed, as look more traditional and less touristy. One thing, I didn't see where to click the link to see where you guys visited the other city with he balloons! I'd love to see that adventure as well! Well thanks again for another awesome adventure! Be well, be safe and Cheers!!
Hey Sam, always great to see you here! Yes the Cappadocia video will be ready in another week or two. For now that's just a placeholder :)
@@TopFlightFamily Ahh okay cool! So looking 4ward 2 that video! Thanks👌
