About this experience
"Meeting place of cultures and civilizations", "capital of emperors", "city on two continents" — this is how Istanbul is often called. In one day, you will climb the hills of Pierre Loti and Camlica, visit one of the most important mosques in the world, Eyup Sultan, and stroll along the bustling Istiklal Street. And I will tell you the most interesting facts about the past and present of this great city.
What to Expect
Vibrant Introduction to Istanbul
You will drive through the colorful city and discover it from different angles. The excursion program includes:
