When you stay in Istanbul long enough it is absolutely recommended to explore the full highlights of the city. In this 2-day tour, we are not only strolling in the old town but also sailing in the Bosphorus with local boats. Dozens of historical palaces and mansions, called Yalı, are waiting for you to discover. Tasting delicious Turkish delights and herbal teas in Spice Bazaar shouldn't be missed. You will be amazed by the atmosphere and beautiful scent of the spices and herbs. Dolmabahce Palace and its gorgeous architecture with 285 rooms by the Bosphorus is like a diamond of the tour. We will of course discover Istiklal Avenue and Taksim Square which is the main and modern hub of the city. 19th-century European design structures and local food spots are unique combinations of that neighbourhood. *Please remember that we can always customize your tour according to your preference, interest and your time. *When Topkapi Palace is closed on Tuesdays we visit Basilica Cistern instead.
