Overview

Classic Istanbul Tour and Bosphorus Cruise it starts when you meet your guide at your hotel, then we head off to the heart of the Old City to explore a series of all-star Istanbul destinations.

Visit the Hagia Sophia to see an intriguing blend of Christian and Islamic influences, from Byzantine mosaics to minarets. Enter a world of sultans and courtiers at Topkapi Palace, where the colourful Ottoman Court lived in luxurious pavilions and sheltered harems behind high stone walls.

Hear the story of Mehmet the Conqueror, who built the palace following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, learn about the centuries of palace intrigues and the drama that followed his reign. Get yourself in the scents, sounds and colours of Istanbul’s two great markets.

Shop for carpets, handicrafts and antiques at the sprawling Grand Bazaar, browse for exotic spices, teas, brightly dyed nuts and lokum—the traditional sweet known as Turkish delight beneath the high-arched ceilings of the Spice Market.

Customise the tour to your interests, with the option for a sightseeing cruise along the Bosphorus Strait.
