What makes Full Day Istanbul True Discovery Tour a unique experience ?

Our authorized guide will accompany you in the Selamlık section of the palace, where you will enter the Dolmabahçe Palace. Audio guide earphones will be given to our guests at the Dolmabahçe Palace to listen in the language they want. During the time spent in the palace, information about its historical architecture, the purpose of use, and fascinating historical objects is presented, and you are given time to take pictures in the garden of the palace. Our arrival time from Dolmabahçe Palace to Asia Hill is about 30 minutes. Your guide will provide information on the vehicle’s transit points.

Camlica Hill is the right place that offers you a magnificent panorama of Istanbul from the Asian side. From this point, you can view Istanbul with the Bosphorus bridge. The Camlica hill is the best viewpoint in Istanbul, as from here you see almost the entire Bosphorus strait, as well the whole city. European side via the Bosphorus bridge (also exciting as you cross the only bridge connecting two continents). After the time spent on Aisa Hill, we get in our vehicle to travel to Pierlotti Hill and arrive at the destination, which is Pierlotti Hill, in about 30 minutes.

The famous café entitled with the name of Pierre Loti, a famous French writer, is reached on getting to this ridge on which the perfect view of Golden Horn can be watched.

The real name of Pierre Loti, who lived in Istanbul for long years and was a real Istanbul lover, was Julien Viaud. The historical café is the most ideal place to watch this mentioned view. We take the cable car ride down the hill with a guide and get on our vehicles.

One of the most elaborate fortification systems of ancient times, the Walls of Constantinople were built by Constantine the Great to protect the city against attacks by both land and sea, ever since he established it as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. From these older Constantinian Walls, only the old Golden Gate did still exist in the late Byzantine Era when, in the reign of Emperor Theodosius II, a new series of Land Walls were built. Apart from Constantinople’s remarkable geographical location, these incredible fortifications were what saved the Byzantines time after time as foreign armies crashed, in vain, against them. Travelers will get on their vehicles after Pierlotti Hill and pass the city walls of Istanbul in the vehicle with a guide. This journey takes approximately 45 minutes.

When we reach our boat, which is moored in the estuary, the departure point of our boat, we get on the boat for our Bosphorus tour. We take our lunch on the boat and the boat moves towards the Bosphorus.

Explore the historical Rumeli fortress constructed by Fatih Sultan Mehmet that marks the narrowest point of the Bosphorus. A fantastic place with a panoramic view, perfect for taking photographs and boarding to your sightseeing boat.
