Begin your unforgettable journey with a traditional Turkish breakfast, featuring the soothing taste of Turkish tea, while enjoying breathtaking views of the Bosphorus Strait. As you savor your meal, you’ll witness the magnificent scenery where two continents—Europe and Asia—meet. Your morning cruise across the strait will set the tone for a day filled with cultural discovery and history.
Once we disembark, your next stop will be the opulent Summer Palace of the Ottoman Empire, Beylerbeyi Palace, located on Istanbul's Asian side. Known as a pearl of Ottoman architecture, this stunning palace is adorned with grand chandeliers, lavish carpets, and elegant furniture. Wander through its richly decorated rooms and explore its magnificent gardens. From this historical marvel, you will also enjoy views from one of the highest points in Istanbul. Note: If you’re visiting on a Monday, the Beylerbeyi Palace is replaced with a visit to Miniatürk Museum, a unique open-air park showcasing miniature versions of Turkey's most iconic landmarks.
Next, ascend Çamlıca Hill, offering panoramic views of Istanbul from the Asian side. You’ll be able to capture stunning photos of both continents from this scenic viewpoint. Continue your journey to the majestic Çamlıca Mosque, Turkey's largest and most modern mosque.

Let the peaceful Bosphorus waters be the backdrop to your meal as we journey on to your next destination.
Upon reaching the European side, you’ll be transported to Pierre Loti Hill. Known for its romantic atmosphere and picturesque views of the Golden Horn, this hill is the perfect place to unwind after your cultural adventure. Take a relaxing ride on the cable car, and admire the views of Istanbul’s historic peninsula from the summit.

Honestly I would have given this tour a five if it was not for the excursion to the European side and how traffic made the excursion even worse. If I had a recommendation for the tour it would be focus only on the Asian side. You can find enough to do there to plan a good tour.
Excellent tour and great tour guide. After a day filled with culture, history, and stunning views, we were dropped back to our hotel.
I'm giving this tour 5 stars because they covered what they said they would, though it was not quite what I was expecting. Most of the group tours I've signed up for on Viator were small - 10 -15 at the most - meaning that it was intimate with the guide and fellow travelers. This was not that. There were at least 100 of us on this tour, but it was very organized. There were 5 or 6 guides that each spoke a different language and we would split off with our language guide and go to the different sights. Again, they were very organzied getting that many people around and we had plenty of time at the locations, so we were never rushed. I went on another tour to the Blue Mosque, cistern, Haggia Sophia, and Palace. I was also looking for other interesting places in Istanbul and this offered it.
