Overview

A tour of the Bosphorus is a must for any visit to Istanbul. While most explore it by boat, this route takes exploration to the next level. You'll discover hidden gems as locals do, traveling by ferry, bus, or on foot to town centers on both sides.

Highlights include the Beylerbeyi Palace, a 19th-century summer residence once graced by Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III. Explore historic fortresses from the 14th and 15th centuries, savor Turkish cuisine with stunning views, and admire elegant fountains and diverse mosques.

Enjoy Turkish coffee and traditional sweets along the way, and capture unforgettable moments with expert photography tips from a passionate amateur photographer like myself.

Meeting point

In Front of Merhaba Pastaneleri Sirkeci

On arrival

The meeting point is "Merhaba Pastaneleri Sirkeci" a small cafe/pastry shop. It is a very central location and easy to access thanks to good public transportation connections. It is possible to use "T1 Kabataş-Bağcılar Tram Line" and exit at the "Sirkeci" station if you are staying in Galata/Pera, Taksim, Sultanahmet, or Laleli areas. It is possible to use "Marmaray" and exit at "Sirkeci" underground station and follow gate number "1" to come closest. Marmaray is good if you are staying on the Asian side of Istanbul. I will be waiting for you in front of the "Merhaba Pastaneleri" with my official tourist guidance license hanging on my neck. Please don't hesitate to call me or write me, in case you cannot find the meeting point.

Free Cancellation

Free Cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity starts. Late cancellation or your non-arrival is not refundable.
