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

Travelled to turkey last week and decided to book a private tour for my family, it was excelled. Brilliant sites and ruins, tour guide spoke brilliant English and was a lot of fun.
We had a great full day tour of Istanbul. The tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
Istanbul Archaeology Museum is tucked away behind one of the narrow cobblestone streets near the Topkapi Palace. The museum is actually in two major buildings (as I recall). The sarcophagus of Alexander the Great was incredible with details and color from centuries ago. The tile museum building itself was a beauty unto itself, in addition to the with relics and pottery…
A grand bazaar where you would find everything under one roof. Its a good walk around and. Ery crowded all the time. I was surprised to see different brand replics here and lot of gold shops around. They have a whole section for antiques im sure most of them must be replics. But worth a visit.
Me gusto el bosforo y la noche turca en istanbul el tour privado fue muy bueno
Es lo que me esperaba el tour privado en istanbul fue lujoso y muy atractivo con muchas cosas que ver como la mezquita de sultan ahmet
Great guides. Great information! Don’t take the cruise line tours they are so expensive!
Dolmabahce is a beautiful palace. No money or effort was speared in its construction in the mid-1850s. The rooms are massive, wonderfully decorated and there are enough crystal chandeliers to light up a small town.
