    About the ride

    Spend the day sightseeing or make the most out of your layover in Istanbul with your local driver who will show you around. Admire the most popular attractions from the comfort of your own private car in a fully customizable tour. Your Welcomer will share the historical facts, the necessary information about the sights and, of course, his personal input in order to immerse you into the Turkish lifestyle. 

    - Hotel pickup and dropoff from a professional English Speaking driver / local guide

    Your ride will begin at the Historical Peninsula where the heart of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empire once beat. The name might have changed - Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul - but the beauty remains timeless. The first stop is the 1The Blue Mosque, famous for the blue tiles covering its interior creating a magical atmosphere. Right next to the Blue Mosque, 2Sultanahmet Square is located where the Hippodrome of Constantinople used to stand. Ask your driver to show you the German Fountain, a beautiful structure with a dome. However, the main reason for visiting Istanbul is 3Hagia Sophia, considered by many the 8th Wonder of the World. This magnificent temple, that was erected with the purpose of being the largest in the world, is intrinsically linked with the history of the Byzantine Empire and Orthodox Christianity. 

    Another perfect example of the blend of the baroque style with Turkish architecture is the 4Topkapi Palace. If panoramic view is what you seek, there’s no other place like the 5Galata Tower that dominates the skyline. Driving along the coastline, you will come across the remarkable 6Dolmabahçe Palace, a piece of unique architecture. Your tour will end at the 7Bosphorus Bridge spanning over the famous waterway between Europe and Asia.

    At the end of the ride, your friendly Welcomer will drop you off at your accommodation.

    Our driver was at our hotel at the agreed time for the tour. He was very courteous and gave us excellent service and was very informative as to the history in the area we were drive-by through. I would highly recommend him.

    Local Currency

    Turkey's currency is the Turkish lira. We recommend you always keep local currency on you as many local merchants do not accept cards as payment. There are many exchange currency locations in the city, however, it is advisable to find the ones with the best rate. 

    Dress Code

    We recommend that you wear comfortable clothes and shoes and be equipped with an umbrella if rain is expected. Please note that religious sites require modest attire - knees and shoulders must be covered.
