Guglielmina - ITALY
“A MUST have for Istanbul!!! You can not experience or save more than with this pass. From airport transport to free meals ( Bosphorus night meal or free fish on bread) to Magentic guided tour to Haga Sophia and Red Bus, to WiFi service of note, to Princess Islands all included, including Swirling Devish dancers. What can be better? Will buy again tomorrow even knowing we will not needto do everything on offer again. Niek & Marthli Venter”
