Full Description

Istanbul Bosphorus & Two Continents Full-Day Tour

Two Continents. One Day. Istanbul From Every Angle.

Discover Istanbul by bus and boat on a full-day guided group tour. The route combines the City Walls, Golden Horn, Spice Bazaar, Bosphorus cruise, a bridge crossing, Beylerbeyi Palace and Çamlıca Hill. A licensed English-speaking guide connects the sights with the city’s history.

From Historic Shores to the Asian Hills

See the City From the Water, the Palace and the Heights.

City Walls and Golden Horn

Enjoy panoramic bus sightseeing through historic districts and along the natural harbour. The programme does not include walking on the walls or a separate Golden Horn boat trip.

Spice Bazaar

Discover spices, teas, sweets and traditional products in the Egyptian Bazaar. Shopping is optional and at your own expense.

Bosphorus Cruise

View Dolmabahçe Palace, waterfront mansions, Çırağan Palace, Ortaköy Mosque and Rumeli Fortress from the water, subject to the sailing route and visibility. Rumeli Fortress and Dolmabahçe Palace are not visited inside.

Lunch and Bosphorus Bridge

Pause for the included lunch; drinks are extra. Continue by bus across the Bosphorus Bridge to the Asian side. The crossing is by vehicle, without a bridge walking stop.

Beylerbeyi Palace

Explore the Ottoman sultans’ summer residence on the Asian shore. Standard palace admission is included. Individual rooms and the visitor route follow palace regulations; Dolmabahçe is not a promised alternative.
