The Bosphorus Cruise & Two Continents Tour is a captivating excursion that offers a blend of Istanbul’s rich history, stunning natural beauty, and cultural diversity. This tour is one of the most popular ways to explore Istanbul’s unique geographic and cultural position, straddling both Europe and Asia.
Whether you’re drawn by the serene waters of the Bosphorus, the historic charm of Istanbul, or the allure of standing on two continents in one day, this tour is an unforgettable experience that showcases the best of Istanbul’s vibrant spirit.
After you are picked up from the hotel and meet the group and the tour guide, we will drive along the city walls and reach Spice Bazaar, the place to get your Turkish delight, nuts, herbs, spice and dried fruit. We spend about 30 minutes there and then drive to the port to take the boat for the cruise on Bosphorus. It is a privilege and a memorable experience to cruise between two continents. From the boat, we will see the great Ottoman Mansions, Dolmabahce Palace, Ciragan Palace, Ortakoy Mosque, Galata Tower, Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress, and many other places alongside European and Asian part of Bosphorus. The history and significance of all these places will be explained by your experienced local tour guide. After the cruise, we will have lunch at a local restaurant and then continue to the tour by driving to the Asian side. We will have an interior visit to Beylerbeyi Palace, built in the 1860s and used as a summer residence of the Ottoman Sultans. Our last visit will be to Camlica Hill, the highest point of Istanbul, from where we will have a spectacular view of the entire city.
Then we will drive back and drop you off at your hotel.

Playing the Erturgul soundtrack just made us even more excited. The places we ate at was amazing, breakfast had such a huge variety. Dressing up was also so much fun, would have been a cherry on top if horse ride was included. It was also so great meeting people from all over the world on this tour. To our tour guide and driver: Allah razi olsun!
