I am a licensed professional tour guide and PhD candidate. I have experience in the best tourist attractions of Istanbul old town like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Sultanahmet Square etc. Book for a memorable tour!
Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar and then Bosphorus Cruise.
The mosques and bazaars of Istanbul are the best sites to visit. And the easiest way to explore Istanbul is to take a Bosphorus cruise, where you can enjoy the beauty and the breeze while sipping your coffee on a lovely boat.
After showcasing some of the city's greatest sites, the guide will direct you to a nice cruise ship, get your tickets without making you wait in line, and drop you off at the port so you can have about two hours free time on the boat and take in the breathtaking views of Istanbul's two coasts (European and Asian).
This event shouldn't be missed while there are so many historical sites in Istanbul to see and not enough time to explore them.
The tour will last about 1,5 hours on foot and you will need about two hours more for the cruise.
The boat has an affordable cafeteria for soft drinks and snacks.
The tour's primary objective is to show you the sites to see, the best locations for currency exchange, the bustling marketplaces for shopping, the locations of eateries and street food, and the locations of ferries and bosphorus cruise lines. Additionally, to provide you with pricing information so you may better plan your time in Istanbul.
Among the attractions you can see in walking tour:
and while on the sea you will see:
After a two-hour trip on the sea, the boat will return to the same port (Eminonu), where you can take the tram back to your hotel or return to bazaars to shop.
Important Note:
The guide will be with the group for the walking part and will leave after taking the participants to the port, introducing the place of the boat and helping for the tickets.
The tour will be conducted by a licensed professional guide. It is expected to contribute the guide with 10€ / $ or 400 liras per person (some pays 10€ some 50€) based on your satisfaction.
The cruise part of this tour is solo. It is up to you whether you want to take the cruise or not. The ticket price for a two-hour cruise starts at about €2 to €5.
There are boats every hour starting from 10:00 to 19:00. No need to take the boat the same day. You can be flexible if you have other plans. I will give you two options for the boat. Both companies have some advantages.
Also, I will show you the piers for ferries to go to Asian Part of Istanbul and the Islands.
For a better experience we keep the groups smaller. Please book only if you are sure that you will attend the tour.
This tour has limited seats. If you will not attend or change your plans, we kindly ask you to cancel on your bookings page or from email of confirmation to open space for other visitors.
For the best experience, please be in meeting point few minutes earlier and keep in contact (better on WhatsApp).
For inquiries about private tours, please contact. We offer excursions in English, Spanish, Arabic, Persian and Turkish.

I will be on banks next to the Obelisk of Theodosius (Egyptian Obelisk) in Sultanahmet square with a cane.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
