Overview
History in the morning, the Bosphorus in the afternoon — the best of Istanbul in a single, brilliantly balanced day. This combination tour is designed for clients who have only one full day and want to see it all. The morning belongs to the great monuments — Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and the Grand Bazaar — with a licensed guide setting the scene. After lunch the pace changes: you stroll the fragrant Spice Bazaar and board a boat on the Golden Horn and Bosphorus, watching palaces and waterfront mansions drift past from the deck. Ottoman grandeur and shimmering sea views, all in one unforgettable day.
