Itinerary

  1. We will begin our tour in the morning in Istanbul’s Old City, where we’ll visit some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern. Around midday, we’ll head to a high-quality, authentic Turkish/Ottoman restaurant for a delicious lunch. Afterward, we’ll take a leisurely walk through the famous Grand Bazaar and the surrounding streets filled with charming, traditional shops. We’ll enjoy a cup of Turkish coffee, and you’ll have the opportunity to learn about Turkish carpets, ceramics, lamps, and other local handicrafts. To cap off our tour with an unforgettable experience, we’ll leave the most flavorful stop for last—the Spice Bazaar! Here, we’ll taste world-renowned Turkish delight, explore countless varieties of herbal teas and spices, and if you wish, you can do some shopping. When the tour ends, I’ll be happy to accompany you back to your hotel and bid you farewell.

About Istanbul

Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus, with Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, busy bazaars and ferries crossing between continents.

The historic peninsula holds the greatest landmarks. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Hippodrome face each other in Sultanahmet, the Basilica Cistern lies beneath the streets, and Topkapı Palace spreads across the hill above the Golden Horn. A short walk away, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar have traded for centuries, and Süleymaniye Mosque, built by the great Ottoman architect Sinan, crowns one of the city's seven hills.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
