Overview

Discover the best of Istanbul in one unforgettable day! This private tour combines the city’s most iconic landmarks with hidden gems known only to locals. Perfect for travelers who want to experience the Old City in comfort and style.

Make the most of your time in Istanbul with a private guided tour designed to showcase both the world-famous highlights and the city’s secret corners. Explore the magnificent Hagia Sophia, marvel at the Blue Mosque’s stunning architecture, and step into history at the Topkapi Palace, once the heart of the Ottoman Empire.

Continue your journey through the bustling Grand Bazaar, where centuries of tradition come alive in colorful shops and local crafts. Along the way, your licensed guide will also take you off the beaten path—through charming backstreets, hidden courtyards, and local eateries—to reveal the Istanbul most visitors never see.

Flexible pacing, insider tips, and a focus on authenticity make this an experience you’ll always remember.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
