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 !
My then wife and I visited Istanbul many years ago but the visit to the Grand Bazaar was an experience that even now I can recall with great clarity.Approximately 4000 stalls under cover selling just about everything imaginable and some unmentionable.Leather goods in particular are a good buy if you are prepared to haggle.
On our last day in Istanbul, we decided to go to the Dolmabahce Palace. It was a magnificent place. Everything down to the lamp in the garden was well-decorated.
My husband and I went to Dolmabahce Palace with expectant hearts, deciding we will spend our last afternoon in Istanbul to look at some lovely architecture soaked rich in history. What a disappointing trip it turned out to be! Apart from the impressive exterior and spacious gardens, the entire experience was marred by the fact we had to be guided…
We were lucky to get a private tour which was fantastic. A great guide, professional and, guess what, a pretty cool friend too. He took us not only to the most beautiful places but he gave us the spirit of the sites, arranged special events for us and he was absolutely unstoppable. I could not have asked for a better service!
Dolmabahce Palace must see in istanbul. The architecture looks much different than Topkapi Palace.
He viajado muchisimo pero jamas vi algo similar istanbuel sin duda alguna ea lo mejor y lo mas lindo que he visto
I highly recommend that if you are going to travel to Istanbul that you contact Taylan from privatetour.net to make arrangements.
Having Taylan as our guide in Istanbul was the best decision. He is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but his friendly and warm manner made our visit most enjoyable. We laughed and learned, and it was more like having a friend then a guide. Taylan, I will most definitely look you up on my next visit to Istanbul! Thank you!
The tour was a fantastic experience our group made up of cruises from cruse critic all expressed there thanks to our guide who was so knowledgeable on Istanbul.
伊斯坦堡一日游中，我个人最喜欢的是搭渡轮一游博斯普鲁斯海峡。看到黑海和博斯普鲁斯海的汇合处，实在太壮观了。！
