Guided Istanbul Tours - 3 Day Private Tour
Description
This is a three day private guided tour of the city that covers the main sites. On Day 1 you tour the old town sites including the Topkapi Palace, Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazar. On Day 2 you take in the Dolmabahce Palace, a cruise along the Bosporus taking in both the European and Asia sides of the city, Taksim Square and Istiklal Caddesi, the main shopping street of the modern city, as well as a visit to the Spice Market. On Day 3 you travel further from the centre of town, concentrating on the Golden Horn - taking in the views from the Suleymaniye Mosque, commissioned by Suleman the Magnificent, and from Pierre Loti Hill. There's also a stop at the Rahmi M. Koc Museum as well as a wander through the Balat and Fener neighbourhoods - once home to Istanbul's Jewish and Greek populations, and still home to the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church - The Orthodox Pope. Day 2 and 3 can be done by public transport - but with some hefty walks and reduced time to visit, so an optional mini-bus service (additional charge) is available.
