What is the safest way to travel?
I was in Istanbul once with an organized group. I want to go again, but on my own. Travel agencies offer a package of an individual tour, but you can also buy a ticket yourself and book a hotel. Advise how best to do if I'm traveling alone. Is it safer if you buy a tour from a company or does it not matter? Thanks

You calculate how much money you need .... it was more profitable and safer for me through a travel agency ... otherwise I’ll book more than that .... and so ... they will meet you at the airport ... they will bring ... they will pick you up .. .

I counted. Of course through a travel agency is more expensive. but not so much ... my safety is more expensive) and it already includes the accompaniment of a Russian-speaking guide and entrance tickets according to the program. thanks for the answer

oh my god, what are you so afraid of??? I went by myself, I went with friends. she organized everything herself. much cheaper than TA and everything is calm.
naturally if you look for adventures on your fifth point, then they will be found everywhere

read my reports
all you need is to find a flight and book a hotel.
transportation from the airport is elementary. no complications

When it comes to safety, then, of course, through a travel agency. You will be met, taken, and all questions will be answered. You will have a phone number by which you can always contact in case of unforeseen situations.

when I miscalculated, it was cheaper for me through a travel agency .....
аватар Anetka-gan
those. alone is dangerous???
аватар Anetka-gan
I don't know how it could be cheaper. they give a non-charter flight, the only hotel is some kind of their own. usually they offer an expensive hotel. and also cheat on the flight.
have already calculated many times, and always TA to Istanbul was more expensive

I said which hotel I need .... I ordered two months in advance .... maybe because of early booking ... or because of some promotions on airlines ... but air travel and accommodation = air travel, accommodation, transfer and 50 dollars. it was cheaper ... well, I don’t know why it was so ... maybe travel agencies have their own prices for the hotel ...
аватар Anetka-gan
hardly .. there is only one option - they were better looking for a flight) the Turks had accts

My independent trip to Istanbul, the three of us went last year, cost 30,000 rubles. cheaper than the counterpart from the tour operator. Adventure was not sought. And of course, it's up to you to decide.

Independently even more informative hundreds of times. You can visit places that many tourists are unaware of.
аватар NatashaS
How can you visit places you don't know you have?
аватар Anetka-gan
weird question...
what some don't know, others know!
Internet and books work wonders!!!!!!!!!!
аватар tanya-tor
in principle, even if you go with a travel agency, then no one will be locked up .... visit yourself all the places you want .... who's stopping you?
аватар tanya-tor
if I understood correctly, then fish9 also ordered a Russian-speaking guide and the entrance tickets have already been ordered .... we skated the obligatory program and walk safely later))) anyway, you will have to buy tickets on your own later .... and also a guide .. .will tell everything...

When we were in Istanbul for the first time, we organized the trip completely on our own. For safety, I recommend the following:
1) We check the booked tickets by the reservation number on the viewtrip dot com. This will give some guarantee that the tickets are fake.
2) We do not agree with taxi drivers on counters under any pretext.
3) The hotel was booked through booking, as there is at least some guarantee of the adequacy of the hotel

Turkish Airlines has nice promotions. In January, I bought my mother a ticket Kyiv-Istanbul-Kyiv for 115 dollars for April. She booked the hotel directly by email. Sometimes it is even possible to get a discount on accommodation directly from the Turks, but only if it is not a chain hotel. She rides there for work all the time. Everything is always ok.

IMHO, Istanbul is much safer than any city in Ukraine or Russia.
