Overview

This private city tour allows you to see highlights of Istanbul with a private tour guide who is an expert on the history and culture of the city. This tour can be operated as a shore excursion tour as well from Galataport. As entrance fees are not included in the price, your itinerary remains flexible and you have a chance to customize it with your guide on the tour day. Transportation can be handled by walking, public transportation, taxis or we can arrange private van service for you upon request.
