You’ll visit a Turkish bath in Istanbul with private service for your party, English assistance, hotel pickup, sauna, steam room, scrub, foam massage, tea, and a souvenir.

“Gostámos muito desta experiência de banhos turcos, a sessão foi uma agradável surpresa, correu muito bem com funcionárias muito simpáticas e competentes. A única coisa que correu mal foi o transporte do nosso hotel para o local da sessão. Quem nos foi buscar enganou-se no hotel e tivemos de ir a pé do hotel. Tudo rapidamente resolvido pela equipa dos banhos Hamman.”
