Love THE BOSPHORUS TOUR we took by boat.
La mezquita de sultan ahmet creo que es jn simbolo de turquia y el mundo tuve la posibilidad de conocerla atraes de un tour privado y si que valio la pena.
The Grand Bazaar is like the “Cave of Ali Baba”, full of sparkles from the true jewelry, the fake jewelery, the copper objects, the light bulbs. The smells can not also be forgotten. It is unique and amazing.
Hagia Sophia is a much earlier building than the adjoining Blue Mosque, inside there is a huge scaffold and restoration work seems like a permanent fixture. Nevertheless the scale of ambition of the Byzantine builders is breathtaking – this was the largest interior space in a building until comparatively recently. A Must See!
Nice place to spend time in Istanbul . Lot of attractions in both parts of the city can be seen . We visited also the souk next to the port where we boarded . Drinks and snacks are available at reasonable price.
We spent a lovely, lazy afternoon, sailing down the Bosphorus, between continents. The buildings, on either side, are beautiful, with fantastic architecture. One member of our tour group celebrated her birthday with a surprise cake.
The sun was going down, as we returned, so the Blue Mosque & other buildings, made an impressive, atmospheric silhouette in the half-light.
The tours arranged for us to be picked up at the airport on our arrival in Istanbul, taken on a 3-4 hour “lay of the land” tour of Istanbul (We had previously seen the major sights) and then dropped off at the cruise terminal to begin our cruise. Everything couldn’t have gone smoother. It was a very positive experience. Highly recommended!
We passed through the strait on a cruise on a beautiful sunny day. Many famous historic sites are located near the strait and are easily visible. This passage between Europe and Asia is a memorable trip.
We booked a private tour when we visited Istanbul in July. They also arranged our airport transfers. I can’t recommend them too highly. Very professional organisation, with luxurious vehicles. Everything right on time and the guide was very knowledgeable and professional.
Bosphorus bridge is astonishing gorgeous! The Bosphorus Bridge is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world and one of the few that spans two continents. The bridge is suprisingly slender and elegant despits its length. You can see it from much of the city, though the best views are in the Ortakoy neighborhood.
