Guided tours Istanbul

How about a breathtaking experience where you can see Istanbul's historical, cultural and natural beauty from a helicopter? You will have a breathtaking view of the Bosphorus. It is possible to book a place in an organized tour (which you will share with 5 other people), only on Sundays. Possibility of cancellation at the last minute if the weather conditions do not allow flying or the helicopter has not filled up.

A cruise on the Bosphorus? The state-owned company remains the best alternative, both in terms of its very attractive price and its schedule (and safety) advantages. What's more, it's the only one to sail up to the Black Sea, as far as Anadolu Kavağı. Passengers are more Stamboulians than tourists. For timetables, it's best to get them from the website. Only one boat in winter. The big vapur, the water bus, departs from the "Boğaz iskelesi" pier in Eminönü. Its terminus is Anadolu Kavağı.
