Enjoying Istanbul Bosphorus Cruise and Old City 

Our tour starts in front of Sirvan Sofrasi Restaurant at 15:00 pm. Our first stop will be the beautiful St. Sergio and Baccus Church, popularly known as the Little St. Sophia. This magnificent building was built in the 6th century as an Orthodox church and turned into a mosque after the conquest of Istanbul by the Ottoman Empire. Its location and interior decorations make it one of the most visited buildings in the city. This magnificent Byzantine building is at a short distance to Ahir Kapi where our cruise boat will be waiting for you. On your way to Ahir Kapi, you will see the existing parts of the Sea Walls of Constantinople that go back to 4th – 5th centuries.

The minute you embark on our comfortable cruise boat, you will start enjoying the breathtaking views of Bosphorus. The palaces, wooden houses, enormous bridges and the beautiful neighborhoods will be passing one after the other as you admire and photograph them.

While sailing along the Bosphorus, you will be seeing the most important landmarks of Istanbul, including The Golden Horn, The Spice Bazaar, Dolmabahce Palace, Topkapi Palace, Cıragan Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace, Rumeli Fortress, Anatolian Fortress, Ortakoy Mosque, The Galata Tower, Ortakoy neighborhood, Ortakoy Mosque, Uskudar and Maiden Tower. All these iconic places will be seen from the water during the Bosphorus tour.

During your boat tour, you will be accompanied by an English-speaking tour guide from whom you will learn a lot about the historical buildings as well as the everyday life around Istanbul’s popular neighborhoods.

After enjoying Istanbul Bosphorus cruise, you will disembark either at Uskudar in the Asian side or at Ahir Kapi in the European side where our boat tour had started.
