What to expect

Meet your tour guide in your hotel or port and start your tour! See the beautiful Hagia Sophia from the outside. Head to the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market, two colorful indoor bazaars that have lots of shops offering a variety of spices, rugs, purses, flavored teas, jackets, Turkish delight, nuts, as well as ceramics, and small souvenirs.

Visit the Blue Mosque. It was built in the early 1600s for Sultan Ahmet I, and it is a magnificent masterpiece of architecture with amazingly delicate proportions for a building of such a massive scale. The blue shade of the 27.000 pieces of Iznik quart tiles gives the mosque its popular name and 6 towering minarets give its uniquely recognizable structure.

Take the public ferry for Bosphorus Cruise to see both Istanbul’s European and Asian sides, Galata Tower, Dolmabahce Palace, the Rumelian Fortress, old Ottoman villas, Bosphorus bridges, and mosques. After the Bosphorus Cruise, your Istanbul tour will be completed and your guide will accompany you on the way back to the hotel.
