Details about this trip
Discover the magic of Istanbul, a unique destination where East meets West. From the architectural wonders of the Hagia Sophia and the elegance of Topkapı Palace to the lively atmosphere of the Grand Bazaar, you’ll embark on a journey through the centuries. Set sail between two continents on a breathtaking Bosphorus cruise, enjoy panoramic views, and explore both the European and Asian sides of the city. Experience the dynamic contrast between modern and traditional life as you stroll along Istiklal Avenue and visit cultural landmarks like Istanbul Modern. This program goes beyond a typical sightseeing tour by offering authentic local experiences and a peaceful escape to Kadıköy and the enchanting Princes’ Islands.

Hello! My name is Pınar. I live in Istanbul, and I absolutely love showing people around this amazing city. I enjoy creating travel experiences in a relaxed, fun, and friendly atmosphere. Of course, we’ll visit the iconic landmarks, but I also love taking you to places you probably wouldn’t find on your own. If you’re looking for a tour that feels more like exploring the city with a local friend than a typical guided tour, you’ve come to the right place. The unique flavors of Ottoman cuisine and the chance to enjoy them on an island in the middle of the Marmara Sea await us.

Our hotel will be economical and located in the Sultanahmet district, which is in the heart of the old town. Historical sites are within walking distance. This will give you the chance to spend your free time in this unique atmosphere. We have single and double rooms; you will be accommodated in one of these room types, and room only.
