Welcome to Turkey.

Overnight Istanbul.

Istanbul Old City Tour
Begin your trip in one of the most interesting cities in the world. Istanbul is said to be a combination of east and west with an array of icons of great cultural importance. You will begin your trip by visiting some Istanbul classics including the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, which was once a Greek Orthodox Church but is now a museum open to the public. You will also see Topkapi Palace, the former palace of Sultans where you can visit their gardens and see ancient jewels. End the tour with a visit to the famous Grand Bazaar. If there is one place to get lost, it would be here in this labyrinth of Turkish goods, antiques, jewellery, and anything else you can think of.

Our recommendation:
After the day's tour ends and you have your own free time, we recommend also visiting the Spice Bazaar to enjoy the sights and smells of Turkish tea, spices, and candies. You will be on your own here as its not part of your tour package, but you will have plenty of time and can make your own way back to your hotel.

Grand Bazaar is closed on Sundays
Blue Mosque due to prayers on Fridays we are unable to enter
