Interested in this tour. For the tickets to the attractions, is it available at an additional cost?

Admission tickets are not included in the package. Admission Fees (per person): Topkapi Palace: 60 USD, Hagia Sophia: 30 USD. Your tour guide will have pre-paid skip-the-line tickets to avoid long queues. The cost of the used tickets can be paid directly to your guide in cash (USD, EUR, or Turkish Lira) during the tour. Children below 8 years old enter free of charge. These prices are valid for 2025 and may change in 2026.

Does that mean the tour starts May 22 if I book the 3 days Istanbul Mini Package?

Can I ride with another traveler since I am scared of being alone with a male? Or can I request a female driver?

Can you tell me more about the type of hotels used for the tour?

We use centrally located 4-star hotels, like Celal Sultan Hotel, which are close to major attractions and come with amenities such as included breakfast.

If I arrive late, can I still check-in?

Yes, arrangements can be made for late check-in. Please inform us of your arrival time in advance.

How are travel support issues handled?

For any travel support or emergencies during the tour, you can reach out to us via the Ask a Question button.

Such an amazing tour! I did this solo (on my own) as I only had 3 days in the city before I needed to start my journey back home. Everything was super seamless - from transportation from the airport, to hotel check in, to timely pick up for each day tour, all the way to transportation back to the airport. Sedef was amazing and always made sure to be in communication with me via whatapp about time up times and location. This tour was a great blend of seeing the city in a short time frame but also having some time on your own to explore in the evenings. Would absolutely recommend if you have a quick stopover.Show more
