Exploring Istanbul Tour
As an excellent introductory tour of Turkey, you might want to investigate the vibrant and exotic city of Istanbul. Delve into the mysteries and history of the bustling city, from its roots as a small Greek town on the Bosphorus to the teeming and opulent capital city that it became under the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Istanbul boasts world-famous sites such as the Haghia Sofia, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque, along with some seldom-visited wonders that only the true connoisseurs of the city ever visit when they visit this incredible metropolis. Find out more about our Exploring Istanbul tour.
Turkey Family Tours
Our family tours in Turkey are designed to be relaxing and stimulating, fascinating and fun. Like our other escorted tours they are cultural gulet cruises and led by an expert guide. Visits to ancient sites will take you and your children deep into the past. You’ll explore the world of the Greeks and Romans in colourful detail: from what they ate to how they built temples, from what their loos were like to how they were treated at the doctors. All this and more in places boasting some of their finest artistic and architectural glories. Alongside our archaeological adventures, there is the cruise itself aboard a beautiful traditional Turkish gulet. Our gulet holidays offer plenty of opportunities for families with children to swim, kayak or snorkel in azure seas, to lie back and read as the world goes by, and to enjoy delicious home-cooked food. When we hike off into the hills, we’re almost certain to see goats, tortoises, and creepy crawlies, and while at sea there is always the chance we’ll see some dolphins!
