Overview

This full-day Istanbul tour and Bosphorus cruise will take you on a journey from Europe to Istanbul's lesser-known Asian side. Learn about a city that spans two continents as you search out significant landmarks, scenic viewpoints, and cultural hubs, then cruise on the strait that is a boundary between Asia and Europe.

After your pickup from your hotel, cross the Bosphorus Bridge, which connects the European and Asian sections of the municipal. Climb the Camlica Hills, Istanbul's highest, and examine the impressive city, which seems to go on forever.

Feel like a guest of the former Ottoman regal family with a visit to the Beylerbeyi Palace. This French neo-Baroque vogue building was the summer residence of the Ottoman sultans. Admire the elegant interior and take a stroll through the immaculate gardens before continuing to Bagdat Street, a favourite place for Sunday brunch.

Following lunch at a Turkish eating house, cruise on the Bosphorus, a passage that joins the Sea of Marma and the Black Sea. Sit back and absorb the impressive sights, together with the Dolmabahçe Palace, the Bay of Tarabya, and also the Rumeli defence.

Finish your tour with at the vibrant Spice Market, where rare spices and herbs are traded.
