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

在GALATA桥上，看着来来往往的人车，想像这古老的城市经过几千年不同朝代，但桥下得MARMARA 海仍旧不变。下了桥后，我们搭上渡轮。游了博斯普鲁斯海峡。MARMARA 和博斯普鲁斯海的交汇处很壮观。
We completely enjoyed our day with Taylan, who is Turkish. He was very generous with his time and extremely knowledgable regarding the history as well as cultural and religious aspects of Istanbul and the country of Turkey. He was consciencious and careful to arrive on time with a clean, reliable car and he gave us good advice for the rest of our trip. He extended the tour beyond that which he had offered to show us. Really great!
The Grand Bazaar was one of the reasons we went to Istanbul although for rather an unusual reason – my two boys were fascinated by the fact that both Sky Fall and Taken 2 were filmed either motorbiking or running over the roof and the fact that their Assassin's Creed game was partly set in the Bazaar!
The Grand Bazaar is one of the site-seeing spot in our tour. You can totally see & feel the history & culture of this place as soon as you walk in. There are thousands of shops in the Grand Bazaar, it’ll take a day to walk through all the shops.
Dolmabahce Palace itself is very beautiful and if you have a bit of extra time in Istanbul there are certainly worse places to spend some time but I'm really not a fan of the 'guided' only visit that you must do to get in.
We were a group of 8on a Medertian Cruise Wed used this company for a day trip in Istanbul. We cannot recommend this tour enough. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
伊斯坦堡的现代化相当令人印象深刻。
Lo mas lindo de istanbul fueron las mezquitas sin duda alguna, el tour privado nos ofrecio unas maravillosas vacaciones
Dolmabahce is most gorgeous palace ever with the most shockingly grand hall at the end, a truly beautiful experience. I think that the visit should be done in opposite order, starting by the harem and reserving the official area to the end.
Dolmabahce Palace was marvelous – both outside and inside.
