Good to Know Before You Ride
The Istanbul hop-on hop-off buses generally run from morning into the late afternoon. The first bus tends to leave around 09:00 and the last around 18:00, though exact times shift by route and season, so confirm the schedule for the service you book.
Since the loop is a fixed circuit, you can pick up the bus at whichever stop is closest to where you're staying and ride it in either direction as your day allows. One full loop averages about two and a half hours if you stay on the whole way, but the point of the pass is to hop off wherever you like and rejoin a later bus.
