Istanbul Taxi and Uber Troubles! Steer Clear! 

I have just returned from Istanbul this last week and that was my worst experience of my holiday the taxi drivers rip you off somewhat rotten charging you what they like. One driver tried to charge me 54euro's to travel 2 kilometres, I said not have money for this he stop car and made me get out his excuse was to much traffic and wanted to take me the long long way around. It only cost 28 pound to go to the airport. I was forewarned about the taxi drivers it is still a shock to the system. Some taxi drivers are ok but the rest, you are there meal ticket. Turkie is a great place to visit the are great the restaurants bars, but the taxis ruined it for me, so people be warned

Hold your bag carefully on crowded transport. Lots of pick pockets.

Hello, One of the best videos I watched that describes the "real world" in Istanbul. Thank you.

The reason why Saad is honest is because he is not Turkish.

I am now in istanbul yes taxi is the worst taxi in the world, be careful from them they ask 5 times the actual price and some times they cheat by accepting Uber then at the end they will told you that you have to pay Toll , they always ask for extra money, but to be honest not all of them like this , there’s a good people and decent

I had a plan all set to go to Istanbul. I planned out the hotel and the flight and I clicked the button to pay for everything. Then the confirm button was there. I canceled the whole trip. - The thing that really bothered me and was was very compelling was, every video in You Tube said, every taxi cab driver there will take you for everything you got.

Lol so true! I love turkey but always so much drama there especially with the taxi drivers. When it gets more organized hopefully I'll check it out

Thanks for informing us about your experience of using uber in istanbul, I think I will not try it there in the next few days.

thank you Bob, great video. I think i will call Saad 😁😁

I'm planning to be there in mid June but intend to either walk or use public transportation. No taxis.

Is the guide confident? Because many tourist guide alway take advantage of tourist
