Discover the timeless beauty of Istanbul on this immersive tour that combines a panoramic city experience with a relaxing Bosphorus cruise.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive over the Galata Bridge, offering stunning views of the Golden Horn before passing the magnificent Süleymaniye Mosque.
Enter the Old City to see some of Istanbul's most famous landmarks, including the Blue Mosque, with its elegant minarets. The historic Hippodrome was once the center of Byzantine chariot races, and the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia is a Byzantine masterpiece that has stood for more than 1,500 years.
Catch a glimpse of the majestic Topkapi Palace before continuing along the Sea of Marmara. Follow the ancient City Walls — a testament to Istanbul's layered history — and view the impressive Roman aqueduct.
Crossing the Unkapani Bridge, you'll head to Taksim Square — the lively modern heart of the city.
Next up is a scenic cruise on the Bosphorus Strait for a fantastic waterside perspective of Istanbul. Slipping between two continents, keep an eye out for the grand palaces, waterfront mansions, and picturesque cityscapes that line the strait. Relax and take in the views with refreshments of soft drinks, tea, or coffee.
Back in Istanbul, visit the vibrant Spice Market, where the air is filled with the aromas of exotic spices, and you can pick up a bag of Turkish Delight or other local delicacies (at your own expense).
Notes:
The Spice Bazaar is closed on holidays. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Participants must be able to climb a few steps unassisted to board the transportation. Traffic can be unpredictable; your patience is greatly appreciated if a delay extends the tour duration.
