Overview

You will be collected from your Istanbul hotel to spend a half-day on this unique Bosphorus Boat Tour. Drive to the Golden Horn which has played an essential role in the development of Istanbul and the inlet separates the shore into two.

You will explore the Spice Bazaar (Egyptian Bazaar), where the air is full of enticing aromas. Choose to purchase cinnamon, caraway, saffron, mint, thyme and any other herb and spice you can think of.

Then start your tour by boat along the waterway that separates Europe and Asia. The shore is lined with palaces of marble, old wooden villas, fortresses, and charming fishing villages.

During the tour, you will sail past the grand Dolmabahce Palace, the parks and imperial pavillions of Yildiz Palace. On the coastal edge of this park, you will find Ciragan Palace where 300 meters of marble facade faces the shore.

At Ortakoy a significant number of artists gather every Sunday to display their work along the street. Ortakoy is also a symbol of religious tolerance with a mosque, a church and a synagogue that have existed side by side for many centuries.

You will also see the Rumeli Fortress (From the Sea, No Interior Visit) which is one of the most stunning works of military architecture. Afterwards, you will return to your hotel or choose to do some sightseeing at your own pace.

He was a "perfect" guide. He kept the group moving and was willing to answer all of the questions we had. He had a lot of interesting facts and stories to share.

Our guide could not have been more sweet to my daughter and she was very accommodating in adjusting our tour to our specifications. A perfect guide for people who don't like traditional tours.

We had the best time with our tour guide on our tour. She has great energy and pointed out highlights big and small so we really felt like we didn't miss a thing. She always gave us the chance to ask questions, stop to take photos, use the restrooms and she just really ensured that we had a good time. Thank you so much!!!

This tour seemed to be the best choice. They were easy to communicate the months before our trip. Our guide was so informative and interesting. I think the important thing about doing private tours in general is to have a guide separately. It brings much more to the tour.
