Istanbul daily city tour on Colina Rojo Travel is the shore day from 90 euros, about 09:00 to 18:30, with hotel pickup and drop-off. You get a 90-minute Bosphorus breakfast cruise, Beylerbeyi Palace with the ticket (Miniatürk on Monday), Çamlıca Hill and mosque, lunch on the boat, Pierre Loti, and the cable car.

Istanbul daily city tour on Colina Rojo Travel is the shore day, not the Old City private day. It runs about 09:00 to 18:30 from 90 euros per person. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included. The morning is a Bosphorus cruise of about 90 minutes from Eminönü on the tour boat, with tea and breakfast. Then Beylerbeyi Palace, Çamlıca Hill and Çamlıca Mosque, lunch back on the boat, Pierre Loti, and the Golden Horn cable car. A licensed guide runs the palace visit. Beylerbeyi is closed on Monday. That day the program uses Miniatürk. TÜRSAB 16602.

Pay it on the Istanbul daily city tour. If you wanted Hagia Sophia and Topkapı instead, that is a different checkout: the standard full day from 230 euros. The same private clock on our partner brand is the Hagia Sophia Travel standard full day.

Istanbul daily city tour is the water and the Asian shore

This departure starts with a pickup and a boat, not with a walk from the Hippodrome. You join the program. You do not keep a Mercedes Vito and a private guide for six seats the way the 230 euro day works. The boat is the tour boat for this sailing, with breakfast and tea. It is not a yacht you charter alone, and it is not the two-hour public cruise that deluxe adds after Topkapı.

Free cancellation is stated on the checkout. Last-minute departures can shift the door time. The confirmation email is the clock that matters. Tell us at booking if you need a vegetarian lunch. The set menu is soup, mixed grill, salad, and a Turkish dessert. Imported drinks and alcohol are not in the 90 euros. Turkish coffee at Pierre Loti is not in it either.

Five stops in order

An Istanbul daily city tour follows one published order. Do not expect the guide to swap in the Grand Bazaar.

Block What you get
1. Boat breakfast About 90 minutes on the Bosphorus from Eminönü. Tea and breakfast. Palaces and yalı houses from the water
2. Beylerbeyi Palace Ticket included. Licensed guide. Closed Monday
3. Çamlıca Hill viewpoint, then Çamlıca Mosque. Shoulders and knees covered
4. Lunch on the boat Soup, mixed grill, salad, dessert, sailing back toward the European side. Drinks extra
5. Pierre Loti Golden Horn view. Cable car ticket included. Cafe orders are yours

Hotel drop-off closes the day, inside the 09:00 to 18:30 window. Traffic moves the edges. The page says the day can flex. It does not add a sixth monument because the boat was early.

Beylerbeyi hours for the week you fly are on the Ministry of Culture museums portal. If the palace is the reason you booked, do not pick a Monday and hope the door is open.

Monday

Monday replaces Beylerbeyi with Miniatürk. The rest of the Istanbul daily city tour still runs: boat breakfast, Çamlıca, lunch on the boat, Pierre Loti, cable car, hotel drop-off. Miniatürk is the scale-model park, not a substitute palace interior. If you need the sultan’s summer palace, move the date off Monday.

What 90 euros does not buy

No Hagia Sophia visitor gallery. No Topkapı. No Blue Mosque visit as a programmed stop. No Grand Bazaar. No private Vito sitting outside a Sultanahmet hotel while you walk the Hippodrome. Tips are optional. Personal shopping is yours. A photographer is not included.

The private Old City map, with those tickets, is the 230 euro day already linked above. How that page sits against morning and deluxe is on Istanbul city tour. The partner account of the same private clock is Istanbul full day tour. Pay one of those if the shore day is the wrong shape. Do not pay both for the same date.

When the private ridge is the right page

Choose the Istanbul daily city tour when you want water, the Asian shore, a hill, and lunch on the boat, and you are fine joining the departure. Choose the private standard day when the point of the trip is Hagia Sophia and Topkapı with your own group, from 230 euros, 09:00 to 17:00, minimum two adults, maximum six.

Choose the planner when neither route is your list. Guide base there is 150 euros per booking. Stops, tickets, lunch, and a Vito are separate lines. English, Spanish, or Russian is chosen on that page. The 90 euro program does not turn into a private palace day because you wrote a note.

The private day with one extra finale is another voucher. Deluxe starts from 290 euros and runs toward 18:30. The finale is one choice: a group Bosphorus cruise of about two hours, or Balat. It is not both, and it is not this shore program. Beylerbeyi and Çamlıca stay on the 90 euro page.

Wear shoes you can take off at Çamlıca Mosque. A prayer can pause that stop. Shoulders and knees stay covered. The boat is cooler than the hotel even in June, so bring a light layer. In winter bring a coat. The pickup time is the one in the confirmation email. Taksim and Beşiktaş hotels are collected. You do not need a Sultanahmet lobby for this departure.

The airport is separate

A 14:00 landing does not reach a 09:00 boat. Istanbul Airport to Sultanahmet is 48 km, 45 to 60 minutes, 45 euros for the vehicle, up to 6 passengers and 6 bags, Gate 9, point CEO 34. Sabiha Gökçen is 65 km, 75 to 95 minutes, 50 euros, pillar 10. Book Istanbul Airport to Sultanahmet the night before, and the return on Sultanahmet to Istanbul Airport. We want you at IST about three hours before an international departure, and at SAW four hours or more. The tour voucher is not the airport car.

Five steps, then pay

First, decide the shore or the Old City. An Istanbul daily city tour is the shore.

Second, check the date. Monday is Miniatürk, not Beylerbeyi.

Third, write the hotel name as it appears on the booking, and say if lunch must be vegetarian.

Fourth, leave Hagia Sophia and Topkapı off this voucher. Open the 230 euro page if those two are the day.

Fifth, finish one cart. Keep the airport transfer on its own booking.

Common questions

What is included in the Istanbul daily city tour?

Hotel pickup and drop-off, about 90 minutes on the Bosphorus with tea and breakfast, Beylerbeyi ticket and guide, Çamlıca Hill and mosque, lunch on the boat, Pierre Loti, and the cable car. From 90 euros.

Is lunch included?

Yes. Soup, mixed grill, salad, and dessert. Imported drinks and alcohol are extra. Ask for vegetarian at booking.

What happens on Monday?

Beylerbeyi is closed. The program visits Miniatürk instead. The boat, Çamlıca, lunch, and Pierre Loti stay.

Does it include Hagia Sophia?

No. That ticket is on the private standard day from 230 euros, not inside these 90.

Is the boat a private yacht?

No. It is the tour boat for this departure, with breakfast and, later, lunch. A yacht charter is a different product.

Can I add Topkapı the same day?

Not on this clock. The day already runs to about 18:30. Topkapı is the other tour, or a different date on the planner.

Open the daily tour linked above if the shore is the day you wanted. If you need the Old City tickets instead, use the standard page already linked. If the list is yours, use the planner, with the arrival and the return already saved.
