Sail between two continents on a Bosphorus Strait cruise to explore the Golden Horn and ride a cable car down Pierre Loti Hill.
Take in unobstructed views of the Golden Horn, the Topkapı Palace, the Dolma Bahce Palace, the Hagia Sophia Mosque, the Maiden’s Tower, the Galata Tower, the Blue Mosque, and the Ortakoy mosque from the boat. Gaze out at the two bridges that connect Europe & Asia.
Visit Eyup Sultan Mosque where the Ottoman Sultan ceremonies were done and Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (friend to the Islamic prophet Muhammad) is thought to have been laid to rest. Pass by historical wooden houses, churches, synagogues, mosques, and the remains of the Roman Wall.
Drive up the Pierre Loti Hill to capture pictures of views of the city and the Golden Horn. Enjoy the views on the way down with a thrilling cable car ride. You can taste Turkish delight, apple tea, and Turkish sweets.
Combine Istanbul City Tours with other Istanbul favorites. Some things are better together.
