Schedule details
Unforgettable four-hour tour at the oldest crossroads of the world ! Visit the Topkapi Palace, once the palace of the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, Topkapi is a vast treasury of Islamic culture, science and weaponry, visited by over 2 million people every year. It is one of the highlights of Turkey. Visit the Underground Cistern (Basilica Cistern),waterway was used as a reservoir for water storage for the Great Palace and other buildings. It is 132 m length, by 65m wide. There are 336 columns in the cistern. Most of the column capitals are either in Corinthian or Doric Style. It’s impressive. After leaving the Basilica Cistern you will finally 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

Es una locura todo lo que se puede hacer en istanbul creo que tendre que volver pero lo hare con este tour privado sin duda alguna
Topkapi Palace was one of the first few historical attractions that I visited when I was in Istanbul and I definitely did not regret it.
The tour guide picked us up at our hotel, surprisingly on time. We went through all the most important sites in the Old City including Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace + Harem. He was well informed and you could tell that he genuinely enjoys his job. I would recommend to everyone! They are timely, flexible, and very accommodating.
We had a fantastic day.. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great tour of this great city!
I highly recommend that if you are going to travel to Istanbul that you contact Taylan from privatetour.net to make arrangements.
What a great experience! I would like to return some day.
Harem was probably my favorite part, as you get to see all the decorative tile artwork that covers just about every inch of each room. Very beautiful.
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.
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。
