Private 4 Days Highlights of Istanbul, Exclusive Guide and Driver

In our carefully selected hotel, substantial breakfasts are served so you can refuel for the journey ahead. Breakfast is a big deal in Turkey. We’ll first visit the Hagia Sophia, a shining pearl in the world’s architectural history and cultural heritage. 

★ Our Guest Privilege: Skip-the-Line Access to Hagia Sophia

Then we’ll go to the Blue Mosque opposite the Hagia Sophia. Six minarets demonstrate its illustrious standing. Its name comes from the 21,043 Iznik tiles that adorn the interior walls with white background and blue patterns. We’ll also visit the Hippodrome of Constantinople (Sultanahmet Square), one of the most important squares in the city. You’ll definitely see the Obelisk of Theodosius at a glance because its pink exterior is so eye-catching! Our next stop is the Topkapi Palace, the former residence and workplace of 25 Ottoman Sultans. ★ VIP Ticket with Access to the Harem of Topkapi Palace

Finally, the guide will lead you to the Grand Bazaar, which has over 4,000 stores spread across 61 indoor streets.

Today’s first stop will be the Egyptian Bazaar, which was once the center of spice trade pioneered by the Egyptians through maritime transport, so it is also known as Spice Market. With multiple spices and everyday essentials, it’s an excellent place to get a glimpse of local life. Then you’ll be guided to visit the Dolmabahçe Palace. Following the Topkapi Palace, it’s the Sultans’ new residence. 

★ Special Arrangement: Bosphorus Strait Cruise

In the afternoon, you will embark on an amazing two-hour Bosphorus Strait Cruise. The Bosphorus Bridge, the Dolmabahce Palace, and numerous mosques can all be seen along the route. The best viewing position is the left seats of the cruise, so please give preference to them after boarding as the seats are not fixed. At the end of the day, you'll be sent back to the hotel.
