Start and end in Istanbul, the "Istanbul City Break" tour is a guided city sightseeing trip that takes 4 days. You will travel through Istanbul, Bosphorus and Topkapi Palace Museum in Turkey. "Istanbul City Break" is a group tour which includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

This short city break in Istanbul provides a great introduction to this fascinating city. Straddling Europe and Asia, Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, has been an important city for centuries and we'll explore some of the important palaces, mosques and churches that have overseen its long and turbulent history. We'll also take a boat cruise on the Bosphorus, the narrow strait connecting the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and wander around the Grand Bazaar, one of the biggest covered markets in the world.
Accommodation is in a boutique style 4-star hotel in the heart of the city, with upgrades available on request. The tour is run on a small group basis with departures on Fridays, and also as a private tour which can start on any date you wish (please contact us for details and prices if you would like a private tour).
