    This was not a traditional tour with other people; it was just me. Don't waste your time/money on this. Expensive commissions to two travel agencies (City of Sultans and Tourradar). The only service I got was bookings for hotels, accommodations, transportation and local tours that I could have booked myself for a lot cheaper. I also spent 3 days on my own with no activities. Transportation was supposed to be included from AP, but they wouldn't pick me up at the train station on my arrival to Istanbul. Excuse was their insurance wouldn't cover it. This of course is a bunch of BS.
