Schedule details
Unforgettable four-hour tour at the oldest crossroads of the world ! Visit the Dolmabahce Palace, is one of the most imposing and beautiful pieces of architecture along the Bosphorus, built 1843. Dolmabahce Palace, the monumental example of the Ottoman capital city, influenced by the widespread aesthetical approaches of the dominant European architecture at that time, comprises many characteristics of the Ottoman palace architecture tradition. It is one of the highlights of Turkey. After leaving the Dolmabahce Palace you will have the opportunity to do some haggling at the Grand Bazaar, the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is like any bazaar except that, as its explains, it is all within one huge building. Depending on how you measure it, the covered market here could be the largest shopping center in the world, numbering over 4,000 individual shops, you will find among masses of modern trash an approximation of youthful dreams of the glamorous oriental market.Inclusions

Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We spent a week end in Istanbul and decided to book a walking a tour of Istanbul. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. I would definately recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit Istanbul!
Grand bazaar where they sell almost everything you might be looking for. You gotta be ready to bargain all the time, the prices are very inflated because this is the most visited tourist bazaar in Istanbul. Turkish people don't buy there. The best thing I found there was 5 lira "original" football team shirts. Gotta search for this shop.
Dolmabahce was built in European style to compete to Versailles, so you can imagine the luxury it displays. It is simply magnificent. The sultans who inhabited it before 1923 left it in a hurry, so everything in the palace is preserved as it was during the Ottoman era.
We had a fantastic time and would love to go back to Istanbul to explore more.
The grand bazaar is big beyond belief. There are so many shops and corridors, you lose your bearings in this maze. At the same time you think how much stuff there is in the bazaar. As it is under a roof and there are so many people, there might be a shortage of air.
Istanbul es una ciudad magica y hay que visitrla el tour privado es ideal para eso

In Istanbul, we were picked up right at the cruise ship at the appointed time and boarded a large van for just the four of us. You can book the tour on-line ahead of time, and you can pick and choose the sights you want to see. Overall, more reasonable than the ship tours, and a lot more flexibility, this tour company is great.
