This tour is an excellent way to experience the best of Istanbul in one day. We began by exploring the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, both of which were absolutely magnificent. The rich history and grandeur of these sites were fascinating, and our guide gave us insightful details about each one. After visiting the old city, we had lunch, which gave us energy for the afternoon cruise. The Bosphorus cruise was the highlight of the day, providing breathtaking views of the city’s skyline and landmarks. I loved seeing Dolmabahçe Palace and the Bosphorus Bridge from the water. The boat ride was peaceful and a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. I appreciated how well-organized the tour was, allowing us to explore each site at a comfortable pace. This is definitely the best way to see Istanbul’s highlights in one day!
