Istanbul Galataport Private Shore Excursion — private tour in Türkiye with My Turkey Adventure

Istanbul Galataport Private Shore Excursion | My Turkey Adventure

From $330 USD per person · 1 Day

Galataport puts you a ten-minute walk from Karakoy and one tram stop from Sultanahmet, so a cruise day in Istanbul does not need a coach convoy. This is a private shore excursion: your guide meets you at the terminal exit, plans the day around your ship's all-aboard time and keeps the group to your party only.

The route is built for a single port day — Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque courtyard, the Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar, with a Bosphorus viewpoint and a lunch stop chosen for your dietary needs. Entrance tickets are pre-booked, so you walk past the queues. If your ship leaves late, we extend into the Spice Bazaar and Galata Tower quarter.

We guarantee you are back at Galataport at least 90 minutes before all-aboard. Guiding is by a Ministry-licensed Istanbul guide; there are no shopping stops and no commission detours.
