The 2-Day Economical Trabzon Tour from Istanbul provided a great opportunity to get to know the city. The itinerary was well-planned, and we got to see some remarkable places.

I'm giving it 4 stars because, although it was enjoyable, I felt that some parts of the tour could have been a bit more immersive and interactive. However, it's a good option for travelers wanting to discover Trabzon on a budget.
