Istanbul Tours & Holidays

Count the windows in the soaring Blue Mosque, navigate the twisting alleys of the Ottoman-era bazaars and bargain with the local personalities, and uncover the different characters of the city on each side of the mighty Bosphorus strait. These tours from Istanbul will introduce you to the capital of Turkey, a city sitting across continents and cultures. Beginning here is the perfect setup for a journey through a country of contrasts, from the underground cities of Cappadocia to the sunken cities off the southern coast.

Turkey Highlights

As an older, solo, female traveler, I was not sure how I would fit in on an Intrepid tour. But our group of 8 was split evenly between older and younger people, and they were a great bunch to travel and explore with. Türkiye is a beautiful, friendly country and I have been inspired by its history and landscape. Our guide Tarik was integral to the great time we all had - friendly, patient, chilled, and a great source of knowledge.

Taste of Istanbul

Alejandro · Traveled January 2024
Alp, my tour guide, was amazing!!! Great energy, and knowledge about city landmarks and history. He went out of his way more than once to show me even more places and experiences than what was included in the tour, beyond his duties, and spending his personal time to make sure I saw as much as possible of Istanbul. Definitely a great tour to get a taste of this iconic city.
