Brief Info about the sites
Byzantine City Walls : The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul in Turkey) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great.
Golden Horn : One of the best natural harbours in the world, it was once the centre for the Byzantine and Ottoman navies and commercial shipping interests.
Spice Bazaar : Allow your senses be invaded by the Egyptian or Spice Bazaar, an essential visit, despite being much smaller and perhaps existing in the shadow of the massive Grand Bazaar.
Bosphorus Strait : The Bosphorus is the world's narrowest strait used for international navigation, it connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara (which is connected by the Dardanelles to the Aegean Sea , and thereby to the Mediterranean Sea ).
Beylerbeyi Palace : The summer residence of Ottoman Sultans with its original furniture and magnificent gardens with the HAREM on the ASIAN SİDE.
Camlica Hill : The highest hill in Istanbul. At the top of it you can rest and admire the magnificent panorama of İstanbul and the Bosphorus from the beautiful gardens, landscape in traditional style, as you sip your drinks in a cafeteria.

My husband and I were walking on the Sultanahmet district and we found travel bazaar agency. We got into their office and according to their suggestion, we decide to book this tour. They were really friendly and the tour has explained well. The tour satisfied our expectations. Our guide, Jason, was really informative and helpfull.
Do not forget your camera to take pics in Camlicha hill, the view is amazing!

I had been in Istanbul for 3 days for my business. And I had only one free day to see arround. Really wanted to see asian side of Istanbul but I didnt know where to visit there! Then I found this tour on website.
I got really quick response for my request. I have made the online payment and joined the tour. The tour was really enjoyable.
I wish to had chance to take a photo while driving on the bosphorus bridge :( There is amasing view.
And special thanks to Hamide (guide) and Hassan (driver). Hamide was really informative and helpful.
Hope to meet with you againg guys.

Me and my doughers, we went this tour in Istanbul. While searching a tour company to join to the beauty and the historical tour in Istanbul, I found the Turkey Travel Bazaar and I contacted with Mr. Mehmet and he was good answering as I wanted. Mr. Mehmet gave me all the details of my needs to join to the tour, on the day of the tour in the morning, I was readly at the reception to be picked up. It was on time as Mr. Mehmet said, It was nice trip. Tour guide was knowledgeable, lunch was in a good restaurant with the good service, touring with the guide was very nice. At the end of the day, I wanted to be drop off at different site then my hotel is. It was nice that it was as I wanted. I went to Taksim to Istiklal Street instead of my hotel.

I was in Istanbul for short time and with this tour I saw many important sites of the city. Estambul is really big city. The guida explains everything very perfectly. I enjoyed the cruise on the bosforo very much.
