Upon arrival in Istanbul, our representative greets the group and arranges the transfer to the hotel. 
After check-in and a short rest, we begin our first encounter with the city where East meets West. 

With our guide, we explore the historic heart of Istanbul — a place where emperors, sultans, and merchants shaped centuries of history. 
We visit Hagia Sophia, Emperor Justinian’s architectural masterpiece and a symbol of timeless harmony, followed by the Blue Mosque, renowned for its elegant domes and hand-painted blue tiles. 
A stroll through Hippodrome Square, once the social center of Byzantine life, reveals ancient monuments like the Obelisk, Serpent Column, and German Fountain. 

Our walk continues to the Grand Bazaar, the most colorful marketplace in the city — alive with scents, colors, and the voices of merchants, just as it has been for centuries. 

In the evening, for those who wish, we enjoy an unforgettable Bosphorus Dinner Cruise — a magical night where the lights of Europe and Asia reflect on the water as we dine with music, traditional dances, and authentic Turkish flavors. 

Overnight in Istanbul. 

After breakfast, we set out with our guide to explore Istanbul’s spiritual and cultural soul. 
We begin with the magnificent Süleymaniye Mosque, a masterpiece by the famous architect Sinan — a place of peace, balance, and beauty. 

Next, we visit the Egyptian Spice Bazaar, where the scents of cinnamon, saffron, and coffee blend into a symphony of aromas that awaken every sense. 
We then walk through Balat, the city’s oldest and most colorful district — filled with pastel houses, cozy cafés, and authentic local charm. 

Our tour continues with a visit to Eyüp Sultan Mosque, one of the holiest sites in Istanbul, followed by a panoramic stop at Pierre Loti Hill, offering breathtaking views over the Golden Horn — a sight that has inspired poets and painters for generations.

What Your Groups Will See

Highlights & Included Visits

With six elegant minarets and 20,000 blue Iznik tiles glowing in the light, the Blue Mosque remains one of the most photogenic and spiritually captivating places in the world. It’s an unmissable stop that perfectly captures the grace of Ottoman architecture and Istanbul’s devotion to beauty.

Once the heart of Byzantine life — a place of chariot races, imperial ceremonies, and public gatherings. Today, the Egyptian Obelisk, the Serpent Column, and the German Fountain stand as silent storytellers of the city’s vibrant past.

A symbol of eternal Istanbul — where Christianity and Islam meet. Hagia Sophia, built in 537 AD by Emperor Justinian I, is one of the world’s most iconic architectural masterpieces - once the world’s largest church. For nearly 916 years, it served as the greatest church of the Byzantine Empire, and after the Ottoman conquest, it functioned as a mosque for 482 years. In 1935, it was transformed into a museum, welcoming millions of visitors for 85 years.

Today, Hagia Sophia is an active mosque once again, while remaining open to visitors from all over the world. Its massive dome, breathtaking mosaics, and unique blend of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture make it one of Istanbul’s most impressive and most visited landmarks — attracting more than 3 million visitors annually. Its golden mosaics and monumental dome are a must-see at least once in a lifetime.

Overlooking the Bosphorus, Topkapi Palace whispers tales of Ottoman sultans, royal intrigues, and treasures from three continents. It’s a world of history, elegance, and mystique — ideal for travelers fascinated by empire grandeur and timeless views.

One of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world — a labyrinth of over 4,000 shops bursting with color, scent, and sound. From handwoven carpets to spices and Turkish delight, it’s the ultimate sensory experience and a journey through living tradition. Stroll through the bazaar’s streets, which have thrived for over 500 years, and take home the most beautiful souvenirs.

An explosion of aromas and flavors since the 17th century. Cinnamon, saffron, dried fruits, and coffee fill the air — an authentic encounter with Istanbul’s trading heritage and the perfect photo moment for every traveler.

The masterpiece of Mimar Sinan, the greatest Ottoman architect. A place where silence, light, and perfect symmetry create an atmosphere of peace — a reflection of Istanbul’s spiritual depth and timeless beauty.

One of Istanbul’s holiest sites, Eyüp Sultan Mosque exudes spirituality and peace. After visiting the mosque, the group ascends to Pierre Loti Hill by gondola for panoramic views over the Golden Horn — a moment of serenity and reflection above the city’s rooftops.

A hidden gem of old Istanbul, known for its colorful wooden houses, street art, and bohemian charm. Balat brings history and local life together — a favorite among photographers and travelers seeking authentic stories beyond the tourist trails.

An iconic landmark that has watched over Istanbul for seven centuries. From its surroundings, we admire the tower that has inspired countless stories and artists, capturing the city’s charm. Here, you can also enjoy the most delicious San Sebastián cake while taking in views of the Galata Tower.

A symbol of modern Istanbul — a street that never sleeps. Istiklal Avenue blends bohemian spirit, art, fashion, and history. The sound of the tram, the smell of roasted chestnuts, and the shop lights create a pulse felt by every heart.

One of the most picturesque spots on the Bosphorus. With artisan stalls, cafes, and the famous Ortaköy Mosque beneath the bridge connecting two continents, this is Istanbul in one frame — elegance, sea, and soul. It’s the city’s most romantic spot — ideal for sunsets, street food (try the kumpir!), and vibrant market life.

A unique cultural stop showcasing a private collection of vintage cars, boats, and industrial heritage. Perfect for groups seeking something different — a blend of nostalgia, design, and Turkish innovation.

An evening connecting two shores, two continents, and hundreds of lights. With music, belly dancing, whirling dervishes and a dinner on the water, guests experience Istanbul from a completely new perspective. A moment when the city reflects on the Bosphorus — pure magic.

During a panoramic Bosphorus cruise, we admire the palaces that have adorned the shores for centuries: Çırağan, Beylerbeyi, and Dolmabahçe — each telling its own story of power, art, and beauty. With our guide, we learn how sultans and European diplomats lived when Istanbul was the center of the world.

One of the most opulent monuments of the Ottoman Empire, Dolmabahçe Palace enchants with its lavish interiors, crystal chandeliers, and views of the Bosphorus. The last sultans once lived here, and every room exudes elegance and history. Ideal for groups wishing to discover the luxury and grandeur of the Ottoman era.

A peaceful escape from the city’s bustle. No cars, only horse-drawn carriages and bicycles — where pine forests, sea breezes, and 19th-century villas create an atmosphere of old-world charm. Ideal for day tours and incentive experiences.

We cross to Istanbul’s Asian side and explore Üsküdar, a quieter and more traditional part of the city. Strolling along the waterfront, we watch the minarets at sunset and admire the Maiden’s Tower, a lone structure surrounded by legend in the middle of the sea. This part of the city reveals Istanbul as only locals see it — authentic, warm, and full of stories.

Not Included / Optional Experiences

Enhance your travelers’ experience with optional activities:

For groups seeking something different, a visit to Florya Aquarium offers a fascinating journey through marine worlds. With over 15 themed zones, it showcases oceans, tropical forests, and coral reefs from across the globe. A perfect combination of education, fun, and relaxation.

A centuries-old ritual of relaxation and renewal. Guests experience the authentic rhythm of Ottoman baths — marble, steam, and the soothing touch of tradition. It’s not just an activity — it’s a cultural immersion and a memory to take home. This is more than a spa treatment — it’s a cultural journey, a moment of serenity that has been passed down through generations. Perfect for travelers who want to feel the soul of Istanbul while indulging in timeless wellness traditions.

The perfect end to the journey. On a rooftop overlooking the Bosphorus or by the seaside, we toast with Turkish delicacies, smiles, and the sounds of a city that never sleeps. A moment to cherish forever.

For football fans and sports enthusiasts, we visit Istanbul’s iconic stadiums near the city center, including Beşiktaş Stadium — home of one of Turkey’s most passionate clubs. Walk through the stands, feel the roar of the crowd, explore locker rooms, and discover the history and legends of Turkish football. A perfect experience for groups who want a sporty twist and a taste of local fan culture.
