    Craig

    Asked on August 16th, 2026

    Would like this as a private tour for my client (2 adults, 1 infant), but would also like to add 5 days in Marmaris - private villa with views and close to center. Also driver at marmaris. Would like to have marmaris first then istanbul. Could you also accommodate transportation between cities? Also if you could add some activities at Marmaris? Please note they have a baby so activities need to be accommodating this.

      Yes, the boat ticket is included on Day 3.

      Group will consist of a Maximum of 15 people.

      We use Recital Hotel Sultanahmet or Antea Hotel Old City (depending on availability) in our packages, which are very close to the tour sites and are considered to be in the Old City Center.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Are there ONLY 3 breakfasts and 5 nights - is this not a mistake? There are normally 4 breakfasts - when you stay 5 nights? Are the hotel IN Istanbul - so you can WALK EASYLI'?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten October 2024

      The hotel is situated in Sultanahmet, which is the historical center of Istanbul. Istanbul is a very large city, but you would be able to visit most spots.

    • K

      Kylie

      TravelerWritten October 2024

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten October 2024

      The tour includes 4 breakfasts, there is a slight typo on the itinerary page. Also, the bosphorus cruise is included.
