This exclusive tour gives you the opportunity to travel in a small group to see the magnificent city of Istanbul. Start your day with a visit to Topkapi Palace. The palace was built with a series of pavilions, kitchens, barracks, audience chambers, sleeping quarters and courtyards. The treasury section houses an invaluable collection of richly decorated items made with gold, silver, precious stones, pearls and diamonds. You'll continue to the Harem section and provided a ticket for entry. Strictly closed to outsiders, its been a subject of many stories over the centuries. It is up to the imagination of the visitor to recreate the colorful and lively old days in the now empty rooms. Visit Hagia Sophia, a true artistic and architectural treasure; the intricate mosaics that cover its walls and ceilings are of incredible historic value. It dates back to the 6th century and is the only Byzantine structure that still stands in this excellent state of preservation. Youβll stop at the Grand Bazaar, for an opportunity to experience its unique and lively atmosphere. Thousands of stalls fill its lanes with everyday household items as well as souvenirs, antiques, jewelry and more. Youβll also visit the open section of the Grand Bazaar, here youβll find the best stores offering reliable shopping and you can get almost anything including ceramics, leather, jewelry, handmade carpets and more. Youβll attend a presentation on the unique art of Turkish carpets with additional time to shop while enjoying complimentary refreshments. You'll be provided free time to enjoy lunch on your own.
