This is a full-day tour with lunch, combining The Bosphorus by Ferry and Asian Istanbul tours.

After a short visit to the famous Egyptian Spice Bazaar, this unforgettable excursion takes you along the Bosphorus, the enormous strait that runs between the continents, Europe and Asia.

The cruise affords excellent sea views of the last palaces of the Ottomans, Dolmabahce and Beylerbeyi, as well as the beautiful wooden kiosks from the 19th and early 20th centuries, mansions and modern villas, giving the visitor a glimpse of former and modern day Istanbul elegance along the Bosphorus.

The cruise ends with a visit to the fascinating "Sadberk Hanim Museum", dedicated to ethnology.

After lunch, you will be driven to the Asian side of Istanbul, across the Intercontinental Bosphorus Bridge. The first stop in Asian Istanbul is at Camlica Hill, for a panoramic view of Istanbul. Then, you will visit the beautifully preserved Beylerbeyi Palace, the summer residence of the Ottoman Sultans, with its period furniture and magnificent gardens. Then, a visit to Uskudar, famous for its old mosques and mausoleums.

Please note: The Egyptian Spice Bazaar is closed on Sundays, therefore, this part of the cruise will not be available on Sundays; the Ethnological Museum is closed on Wednesdays, and so, on Wednesdays, this portion of the cruise will not be available. Beylerbeyi Palace is closed on Mondays and Thursdays, so visits to the Palace will not be made on this tour during those days.
