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.

It was an absolute pleasure being guided through this wonderful city by Cansu. Her passion for the historical significance of the city was inspiring. Her knowledge of all of the sights was remarkable. And her friendly smile and sense of humour were wonderful.
I’d highly recommend the tour to anybody who visits Istanbul.
Istanbul es la maravilla el puente me gusto muchisimo las mezquitas se ven de todas partes es magico
dolmabahce palace is absolutely beautiful place
We had a private tour to Istanbul. It was a great trip with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The private car was very clean and the driver was nice. Highly recommended.
As part of our trip to Turkey, we spent one day in the historic peninsula of Istanbul, where Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palaca and some other historic monuments stand. Our guide Gokhan gave us incredible sense of the history of the city and the amazing structures we visited. He was quick and satisfactory with his answers to our many questions and he really enjoyed what he was doing. It was like spending a day in Istanbul with a friend, who really knows about it.
La ciudad mas linda ISTANBUL sin duda alguna
Regards to Yesim and many thanks for a super day.
Dolmabahce Palace is great in 2 aspects: the fantastic location next to the Bosphorus and the Grand Ceremonial Hall. The moment I stepped into the Grand Ceremonial Hall, my jaw dropped at the awesome sight of the cavernous hall. The ceiling is very high with a chandelier weighing 4 tonnes which according to the guide is the largest in Europe.
Cuando dices istanbul hay que decir seguidamente maravilla por que lo es visitenla que se quedaran pasmados de tanta belleza
We were lucky and to get a private half day tour “Istanbul Byzantine” and were grateful for our very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He picked us up from the hotel and we were driven directly to the Blue mosque to enter without queuing. We learn a lot about the culture of a different religion and to understand and respect it. I wouldn’t recommended it any other way. Our guide also pointed out some trustworthy vendors at the great Bazaar and even drove us to the ferry pier. Fantastic service and well worth the money. Very recommendable!
