Highlights
This private city tour allows you to see highlights of Istanbul with a private tour guide who is an expert on the history and culture of the city. This tour can be operated as a shore excursion tour as well from Galataport. As entrance fees are not included in the price, your itinerary remains flexible and you have a chance to customize it with your guide on the tour day. Transportation can be handled by walking, public transportation, taxis or we can arrange private van service for you upon request. A licensed tour guide has skip-the-line priority to buy museum tickets and he/she will help you to purchase them. Please remember you may need to wait in security lines. The duration of the tour is 7 hours per day, but you can keep it shorter by talking with your guide as well. The most important sites of Istanbul will be explained by your private tour guide who will be a local friend with you here. Your guide will show you the best spots to take pictures for your Instagram account.

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).
