Curious as to how it worked out. TIA! WE did not do this in Istanbul. We did book private driver in Ireland. It was the most amazing experience. There were 3 of us traveling together. He was courteous, timely, excellent driver. He was very helpful as we planned our travel day. He interacted with us ( this is not usual per the description regarding private driving not being a tour guide). We would definitely use a private driver again through Princess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurawynne Posted September 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Istanbul is the craziest traffic I have ever seen, I would never want to drive there. I'd recommend getting taxis to get where you need to go, they are pretty cheap and abundant. Most of the major sites are concentrated in one area that is pedestrianlized. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing a tour in Ireland to one in Turkey is somewhat absurd ! Through our roll call, we joined a private tour in Istanbul and it was perfect.

On holiday in Ilfracombe, great weather, and the Exmoor National Park is spectacular. I'm still not sure about the value of comparing a tour in Ireland to Turkey. Perhaps you can enlighten us.

I think the info provided was not to compare Ireland to Turkey. It is about hiring a private car/driver and how well that worked for them. We have done that in Beijing and based on that positive experience as well as Cruiser113's, I would do it again in other areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
