Unforgettable four-hour tour at the oldest crossroads of the world ! Visit the Dolmabahce Palace, is one of the most imposing and beautiful pieces of architecture along the Bosphorus, built 1843.

After leaving the Dolmabahce Palace you will have the opportunity to do some haggling at the Grand Bazaar, the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is like any bazaar except that, as its explains, it is all within one huge building.

Todo de maravilla istanbul es um lugar magico y vale la pena visitarla
Dolmabahce Palace is a must see from inside and outside. The architecture is really amazing. You will be amazed by the gold and crystal decor and the red carpets. It mixes European styles with elements of the traditional old Turkish life. Photos though are only allowed in the gardens, however, you will be satisfied with all the beautiful scenery around…
Istanbul Sin duda es la ciudad mas bella del mundo y bien hay recorrwrla lo mas posible
Es lo mas lindo quw he visto en mi vida istanbul es una combinacion de culturas religiones modernidad el tour privado no dio esta oportunidad y muy bien todo
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
We started our tour of Istanbul with a visit to the Archeological museum. We bought the museum pass at the gate. This will give you access to the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, Topkapi, Topkapi harem, Haga Sophia and Chora museums. The pass is very convenient and saved us about 20 minutes time of queue for Topkapi and Haga Sophia.
We visited Istanbul during a Princess Med cruise. Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about his country with a great sense of humour, that it made our tour outstanding. Would love to have him again! Thank you so much for making our tour such a wonderful experience!
La antigua iglesia de santa sofia o aya sofia es un lugar mut cautivador todo bien…
We were only in Istanbul for one day, but thanks to the excellent work of our tour guide Gokhan our party of eight was able to get a real taste of the city. Can’t wait to go back and spend more time in this fascinating place.
Every holiday in Istanbul has to include the Grand Bazaar. You could spend hours here. I was surprised that we were not hassled as much as expected… not sure why .. but very pleased. Purchased the appropriate shirts and hats and …. all good … Not to be missed
