This experience whisks you away to two of Istanbul's most visited landmarks: the Topkapi Palace, a sprawling complex that housed Ottoman sultans for centuries, and the Bosphorus Strait, a waterway that separates Europe and Asia. Breeze past the crowds with your skip-the-line tickets, and a multilingual audio guide will be your companion as you wander through grand courtyards. Marvel at exquisite Iznik tiles, and peek into the opulent chambers once home to sultans, concubines, and their entourages. Keep an eye out for the world-famous Spoonmaker's Diamond, a dazzling 70-carat gem encrusted on a ceremonial spoon.
Set sail on a scenic Bosphorus cruise, and feel the cool breeze on your face as you glide along the turquoise waters. Your multilingual audio guide will point out landmarks like the Dolmabahce Palace, a lavish 19th-century structure, and the silhouette of the Hagia Sophia, a former Byzantine church and architectural marvel. Imagine Ottoman naval battles that once unfolded on these very waters, or keep an eye out for playful dolphins known to frequent the Bosphorus!
