What to expect

Meet your guide at your hotel and start your private tour of the highlights of Istanbul! Visit the Spice Bazaar before boarding a public ferry and enjoy breathtaking views of Istanbul's European and Asian sides.

Your local guide will show you around the Spice Market, a colorful indoor bazaar with lots of shops offering a variety of spices, purses, flavored teas, Turkish delight, nuts, as well as ceramics and small souvenirs.

You'll then take the public ferry for a Bosphorus cruise on both Istanbul’s European and Asian sides. Admire the Galata Tower, Dolmabahce Palace, Rumeli Fortress, old Ottoman villas, the Bosphorus bridges and mosques from the water.

Hop off the ferry to see luxury furnishings, paintings and porcelains inside Dolmabahce Palace, visit the lively Cicek Passage which combines traditional and modern architecture, and Taksim Square, the place that best defines modern Turkey.
