Private Istanbul Deluxe Full-Day Tour
The private deluxe istanbul tour extends the Standard rhythm to about 18:30 with Colina Rojo Travel. You keep private Vito transfers, lunch, Hagia Sophia and Topkapı tickets, then choose one afternoon finale: a Bosphorus cruise ticket or a guided Balat walk. From €290 per person. Minimum two adults. Tell us your pick at booking.
Morning core: Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia, Topkapı
Hotel pickup, Sultanahmet classics, Hagia Sophia visitor gallery, and Topkapı combined (Harem + Hagia Irene) follow the same ticketed core as Standard. Tuesday uses Basilica Cistern Plan B. Modest dress for mosques; solid shoes for palace courtyards.
Lunch (included)
Sit-down lunch is included; drinks are extra. After lunch the day splits into your chosen afternoon story instead of a Grand Bazaar push.
Afternoon option A: Bosphorus cruise
Choose the water if you want palaces, fortresses, and bridge views from the strait. The cruise ticket is included. Your guide coordinates pier timing after lunch so you are not guessing which boat. Seas can be breezy; bring a light layer.
Afternoon option B: Balat neighbourhood walk
Choose Balat for colourful hillside houses, narrow lanes, and photo stops with your guide. No cruise. This is street-level Istanbul after the imperial museums. One option is included; both together needs an extended-day quote.
Hotel drop-off, children & booking
The Vito returns you around 18:30 depending on traffic and your afternoon choice. Children 0–5 free; 6–11 half price; 12+ adult. Write Bosphorus or Balat in booking notes. Checkout on this page; confirmation lists pickup and WhatsApp +90 535 666 87 91. Colina Rojo Travel (TÜRSAB No. 16602).
