I met Berry today and she’s such a lovely person, we explored the Asian side of Istanbul. Along exploring we tried some delicious food and she shared plenty of useful info and tips as well as the apps mentioned in the video. Look forward to seeing you soon xx
I really love Turkey 🇹🇷 from India 🇮🇳 because of the fabulous Turkish dramas like, Aşk laftan anlamaz, Siyah İnci, Sen Çal kapımı, Dolunay, Erkenci Kuş and many more. I really want to be in Istanbul because it lies between 2 continents as you know. I personally like to watch your videos 😊 because you provides us the real thing happening in Istanbul wheather it's a pro or a con. Love you and your videos 😍 from India 🇮🇳. Thankyou
Por casualidad hace una semana sin buscarlo vi un video tuyo y me pareció interesante… desde entonces me inscribí y sigo viendo más videos con la información que brindas y acabo de cancelar un viaje que tenia para el mes que entra y remplazarlo por ir a Turquía, gracias a ti… Ojalá pudiera agradecerles en persona a ti y a tu esposo por la ayuda que ofrecen de un país tan interesante, saludos! Y mil gracias!!
Muchas gracias Bery por este y los otros videos, a mediados del próximo febrero estaré de visita por Estambul y otras ciudades en Turquía, buenos tips nos regalas, saludos desde Morelia 🇲🇽
Thats a good list! For me as a self-driver i also use IBB Ceptrafik and the Museum app (since i like the Museums in general) What i miss in the video is the HGS/OGS app for all the self-drivers (like myself). HGS/OGS is sort of an express toll, you link the license plate, load up balance and then you can just go through the toll stations and all the toll-tunnels and bridges without the paying process, as long as there is enough balance on the account. I prefer the toll-highways because they're not as filled as the normal roads and are somewhat better quality (probably because its newer).
I just watch your clips a few days ago and I am very impressed with the information you have provided. Especially Bery, you are very charming and attractive. The information you give is very helpful and easy to understand. You make me fall in love with Istanbul. I wish you good health and success. Hope you provide more information to everyone! Thank you!
Muchas gracias, Bery, por toda la información que compartes en tus vídeos. Visitaré Istambul dentro de poco (todavía no estoy segura de las fechas) Tus vídeos me ayudan mucho. Un fuerte abrazo.❤️
Hi thank you for your very valuable tips .. indeed very useful for tourists visiting Turkey. Can you also do on how to buy SIM card in Turkey and your recommendation for the best network.
Hi Bery LOVE, LOVE,LOVE your channel. I’ve been binge watching for days and have learned a lot of useful information. You & your husband do a beautiful job putting together each episode they are very easy to watch. Thanks for that. Have done any episodes on where in Istanbul to find a good authentic cooking class? If no episode yet can you recommend any cooking classes. My husband & I will be traveling to Istanbul in 2 weeks & would very much enjoy taking a cooking class. Many thanks for all your hard work.
Excellent video. All the videos that are published on youtube should have some value to those of us who watch them. This video adds enormous value to the information available about Istanbul. Congratulations and continue helping others.
Museums of Turkey requests so much permissions, some related to security of cell. Another app fine for transfer money is "Wise". The tax is a little bit mor high, but is fast. Paysend doesn't work from some countries yet, for example, Brazil.
ahh... so you're a mexican. you easily look like a turkish to me. anyway, thanks for your videos, I got all the latest info and references I need. Planning to do Istanbul, Bursa+Uludag, Eskisehir, Ankara and Erzurum in winter/ January 2023.
Hi Bery, your videos are super useful. I’m going back to Istanbul after several years. My husband and I want to focus on fewer places this time- can we buy the tickets to Topkapi before hand? From where? Also, what are your recommendations for Princes Islands?
Hi Berry Hopefully the uk government will move Turkey to Amber either today or tomorrow Can you please help with this question Is it easy to get the pre departure test done in Istanbul and where and how much is the cost I am hoping to arrive on the 3rd of October with a return date of 7th October Your help will be appreciated
Hi Bery! Just funded you! And love your content! Una pregunta es conveniente estar en un solo hotel por una semana o dos para no cargar con maletas pues tenga mas de 60 y de alli salir a tours que me recomiendas? Y que hoteles y que agencia de tours me recomendarias? Ya son mas de una pregunta😂 ( te admiro pues tan joven y hablar muy bien otros idiomas!!) Please! And Thank you!
Hi Bery, love all your content and really appreciate your dedication and hard work. Thanks for being so authentic. Would love to know if Isfanbul will be open in November or similar theme park in Istanbul since I'll be traveling with kids? Also how to go to uludag from Bursa maydani as Teleferik does not go to sari Alan stop (last year November it just went up to one stop) we couldn't see the snow in November. Plz share updated information if you have it.
Good afternoon Berry, love your videos. Very useful! Quick questions. I want to book a VIP taxi from Istanbul airport to Taksim square. Are there any useful ways and trustworthy sources to contact them in adance so I can book it. Thank you!
Really useful content for me who have a plan to explore Istanbul But i have questions about the food app and bike rent app. Do the both app only accept payments on the spot (usually i use "cash on demand" term) or can use digital payment like top up amount of money from mobile banking, ATM or minimarket (sounds silly but in my country we can do that) to the app wallet ? Thank you
Great information as always, thanks! I may tell my only-speaks-Spanish friend to contact you, she is in Turkey:-) The money app Paysend does not send money from Turkey to the USA do you have any other recommendation to do that? Thanks
Is it better to book transfer in advance or pay taxi when we land to Istanbul to go to the hotel? Whats cheaper? And how much should it cost from airport to pell palace Hotel (50 min journey)
I have recently visited Turkey. One thing that was untoward was procuring buskart for different cities as one city kart would not be valid for the other. So my suggestion is why not have a single common kart that can be used in all cities of Turkey n could just be recharged in any city This could save a tourist time n money i.e card n balance left over. There cannot be a different municipality money collection problem as computer software can bifurcate their share automatically. Do you suggest a way to do so. Pls advise.....🌹☺️
It's important to note that foreign tourists using these apps could be VERY expensive, as for every transaction you will be charged by your bank a hefty currency conversion fees and then transaction fees. Be careful!
Very interesting madam. I want to visit Istanbul in December. I want to visit Istanbul without spending too much there and what precautions should I take when coming there in winter. Please, help me.
Do not rely on Uber. Have tried many times and never got a car. The app will continually say "looking for a driver for you" and then after 10 minutes it will say "sorry, we can't find a driver. Please try again later." A local friend just laughed when I asked about Uber and BiTaxi. Istanbul is even worse than Bangkok for getting a taxi. Good luck.
@@robertlloyd3184 I used BiTaksi to get home before watching this video. It really depends what time of day it is. There's a strange thing in İstanbul where taxi drivers won't want your business if you're not going far during busy times. Demand is too high, they want longer distance fares, so they'll often turn you down. So at rush hour in the morning or evening, or between 21:00 and 00:00 on a Friday or Saturday... forget it. At normal times, Uber and BiTaksi work fine though.
Hi. If fully vaccinated and comes from Egypt, can I enter turkey without PCR ? If vaccinated and just transit for 2 hrs in Istanbul airport do I need PCR?
Hello Berry. Thank you for your great video. I found your channel, cause i will go to turkey (Izmir) this summer 🤗 I've been to turkey many times . My Last Trip to turkey was 2013. Looks so many things are chenge. I would like to know still can't use Uber in Izmir ? I'm gonna stay alsancak then alacati and çesme old town. I don't drive so need know how much taxi.i feel safer by Uber for payment. Please let me know if you find comment ❤️

We are planning to visit Turkey and Jordan - Do I have to buy a sim card for Turkey and then a separate sim card for Jordan, or can I buy 1 sim card for use in both countries? If one sim card, is there a particulur one?

i was going to suggest Wise,, i use it all the time to transfer money to europe, it takes 4 hours, and the fees are very low, for €1000 they take €7.
@@ClaSsnaM Yeah, wise is very good.
Very informative video. Thank You.
Muchas Gracias! Excelente Info!!!
Thanx Bery for your informative tips !
You are awesome Berry 👌, hope to meet you in person once I move to Turkey in the near future 😀.

Hello Bery,
Could you advise reliable inter-city train and bus booking platforms / apps, please?
It's important to note that foreign tourists using these apps could be VERY expensive, as for every transaction you will be charged by your bank a hefty currency conversion fees and then transaction fees. Be careful!

Can I book & pay for the taxi, buses and museums through the apps or not for payments?
Informative 👍

Jordan is a whole different country with different services. So no, you cannot use Turkish services there.
