      Is it in operation this tour?

    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten January 2023

      More and more towns and entire countries in Europe are not allowing unvaccinated passengers to enter restaurants, shows, places and even hotels. Due to the international health situation, a printed vaccination certificate as well as on your mobile devise is advised to bring with you along the tour, since it will be required in many European countries as a passport to access means of transport, museums, restaurants, breakfast rooms, etc.

    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten January 2023

      On day one we pick up our passengers at ISTANBUL airport throughout the day, you just have to send your flight schedule and we'll be waiting for you. The first day you can arrive at any time, that day you do not have scheduled activities.

    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten January 2023

      On the last day the tour finishes at our arrival in ISTANBUL around 20.15 hrs. The bus comes to a stop at a 4-star hotel, we work with several of them, but I cannot tell you which one yet for we are still on the booking phase for this tour.

      Is this tour guaranteed to go?

    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten January 2023

      I just amended the price so it shows the single room supplement. If you want to share the room with the person you have booked with, you should select a Double Room when booking.

    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten January 2023

      Currently our regular departures are operating with a minimum of two passengers, the most flexible policy of any major touroperator. However, please keep in mind that at this date we still cannot guarantee the operation for your chosen departure. Since we depend on situations outside our control like the evolution of the pandemic, vaccination rates and border policies set by each country, we evaluate our destinations week by week in order to make a decision whether to operate it or not.

    Tour Details
    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten November 2022

      A sightseeing tour of the city. We find ourselves in a city built in two continents. On our tour, we will enter the Mosque of Suleyman the Magnificent (the largest in Istanbul). We will see the walls, the Golden Horn, the fishing district, and we will admire the exterior of Hagia Sofia. After the visit, we will offer tickets and a visit to the Top Kapi Palace, which was the administrative centre of the Ottoman Empire, with its magnificent courtyards and its pavilions. At the end of the afternoon we will provide a transfer to the Taksim neighbourhood, the most commercialised and lively area of the city. There will be time to dine in one of its many restaurants, and you can also take the old tram that crosses the area or go to see the nearby Galata Tower.
