Over three memorable days, Rubil led the group through some of the city’s most iconic landmarks and hidden gems. The journey began in the historic heart of Istanbul, with visits to Sultanahmet Square, the magnificent Hagia Sophia, and the atmospheric Basilica Cistern — a subterranean wonder that never fails to leave visitors in awe.

The second day was a feast for the senses. The group explored the vibrant Egyptian Spice Bazaar and the legendary Grand Bazaar, before stopping for a moment of quiet reflection at the Church of St. Antoine in Beyoğlu. The day ended beautifully with a Bosphorus boat tour, gliding between two continents as the city’s skyline shimmered on the water.

On the final day, Rubil took the group to the breathtaking Selimiye Mosque, a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture, before concluding the tour at the grand Topkapı Palace — the seat of the Ottoman Empire for centuries.

Thanks to Rubil’s deep knowledge of Istanbul’s history and his warm, fluent Italian, our guests were able to experience the city not just as tourists, but as true explorers. It was a journey full of history, beauty, and unforgettable moments.

We look forward to welcoming many more guests and sharing the magic of Istanbul with the world.
