★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 273 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $100

Istanbul in One Day packs Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar into a cruise-friendly, English-guided 8-hour loop.

“Plusses and minuses... Istanbul is a very old city and walking conditions are rough... lots of stairs, and broken tiles. It was very hard to keep up with the leader, and once we caught up with her and the rest of the group... she would move on right away. This despite being made aware that we were having trouble. The included parts of the tour were the usual high points, and our guide was very knowledgable and informative. The included lunch was delicious and in a nice restaurant with lots of stairs, of course! I was very disappointed to be forced into another carpet sales shop and we were a…”

8.Bursa and Uludag Mountain Day Trip with Cable Car

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 107 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $66

Istanbul day trip to Bursa and Uludağ with Ottoman mosques, BBQ lunch, and a one-way cable car ride. Long day, big views.

“The Driver was 20 minutes early for the pickup, so we were not quite ready yet. Despite being early for our pickup, they still managed to get one hour delay before we even left Istanbul. Their priorities seemed to be to get us to spend money at the 3 tourist traps before we arrived in Bursa. In Bursa they dropped us off at a Hamam which turned out to be converted into another shop, where we should spend money. At least the green Tomb was right next door, so we could see that. Because of the Delay in picking up guests and the 3 tourist traps, it was 15:00 before…”
