The tour will start with a walk around the City Walls of Istanbul, which have protected the city for centuries. As we drive by bus to the Golden Horn, you'll learn about its significance as a natural and secure harbor that has played a crucial role in the development of Istanbul. Here you will admire the breathtaking scenery of Istanbul from a different perspective as you take a cable car ride to Pierre Loti Hill. The hill was named after the famous French writer, who was often seen spending time at the top of the hill. The hill and the city were probably his inspiration while he was writing Aziyade. 

You will next experience one of the most popular attractions in Istanbul: the Bosphorus Boat Tour.  During the tour  you will have the opportunity to see the 19th-century Ottoman masterpiece Dolmabahce Palace, Yildiz Palace, one of the unique samples of the last period of Ottoman architecture, and Ciragan Palace with its amazing marble facades from the boat. Additionally, the Rumeli Fortress, one of the most exquisite examples of Ottoman military architecture, the harmony of eastern and western architectural styles at the Beylerbeyi Palace, the iconic view of Ortakoy, and more can be seen during the boat tour.
