The tour starts with a guided visit to Dolmabahce Palace, a 19th century palace that was the main residence of Ottoman sultans. Built by architects Karabet and Nikogos Balyan, this massive palace complex is 110,000 square meters and has a 4.5 ton crystal chandelier, 285 rooms and 46 halls filled with European style furniture and art.

Your guide will bring the palace to life with stories and historical facts, making your visit informative and fun. Next door is the Bezm-i Alem Valide Sultan Mosque, known for its beautiful design, tiles and Islamic calligraphy. The mosque has been restored to preserve its architectural integrity.

After the palace visit, relax on a 2.5 hour yacht cruise along the Bosphorus. Sail in comfort on a luxury yacht as you pass by centuries old fortresses, palaces and waterfront neighborhoods. Enjoy the scenery and take in the beauty of Istanbul from a different angle. During the cruise you’ll also stop in Kanlica, a charming district on the Asian side famous for its creamy yogurt topped with powdered sugar or honey.

Whether you’re looking at historical landmarks or sipping Turkish tea on deck, this tour combines heritage with indulgence in the best way.
