Private Half Day Bosphorus Tour
Enjoy a private half-day Bosphorus cruise in Istanbul with a knowledgeable guide, taking in breathtaking views of palaces, fortresses, and iconic landmarks along the strait.
Tour Itinerary
Travel between the continents for a short while. Istanbul is the only city where you have the chance to be where Europe and Asia converge. You can travel on the public ferry with your knowledgeable tour guide, then enjoy the breathtaking Bosphorus breeze on your own. The delights of the Bosphorus can be enjoyed while sipping Turkish coffee or tea.
With two hours on the boat and two hours spent in the spice market, this excursion was planned to last four hours. Bosphorus Cruise: The strait, which extends 32 kilometers between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, separates Istanbul into two continents. There are many interesting places to see in the towns along the Bosphorus, such as huge palaces, resorts, yali (private homes), etc.
The Dolmabahçe Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, Raan Palace, Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress, Küçüksu Palace, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge (the second bridge on the Bosphorus), and Maiden’s Tower are just a few of the things you will view while on the boat.
Between 1660 and 1665, Turhan Hatice, the mother of Sultan Mehmed IV, built the Egyptian Bazaar, also called the Spice Market. Turkish delights, baklava, and souvenirs are all available in the market, which is the hub of Istanbul’s spice trade.
