About this activity
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.
A licensed tour guide has skip-the-line priority to buy museum tickets and he/she will help you to purchase them. Please remember you may need to wait in security lines.
The duration of the tour is 7 hours per day, but you can keep it shorter by talking with your guide as well.
The most important sites of Istanbul will be explained by your private tour guide who will be a local friend with you here. Your guide will show you the best spots to take pictures for your Instagram account.
