Full description

On fully automatic scooters from 125 cc you ride with your private licensed guide along the Bosphorus shore road, past the historic peninsula and up to viewpoints above the city.

Via the intercom in the helmet your guide explains what you see during the ride – questions are welcome at any time. If you prefer not to ride yourself, you sit on the back as a pillion passenger and enjoy the trip.

What we see

Route requests such as Çamlıca Hill or the Golden Horn are possible by arrangement.

• 1 · Bosphorus shore road
  The route Istanbul is famous for: water on the left, city on the right, bridges above us.
• 2 · View of the historic peninsula
  Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı from outside, plus the Golden Horn.
• 3 · Galata and Beyoğlu
  The lanes of the new town, Galata Tower and the bustle around Karaköy.
• 4 · Ortaköy and the Bosphorus Bridge
  Photo stop at the mosque right on the water, beneath the first bridge between two continents.
• 5 · Viewpoints above the city
  A stop above the traffic, from where Istanbul's geography can be explained.

Not included

✦ No shopping detours – our promise

Visits to carpet, jewellery or leather businesses are expressly not part of this tour. Your time belongs to the biblical and historical sites and the content of your study tour, not to sales rooms.

Only at the express request of the group or individual travellers do we arrange such a visit separately, outside the programme. The shuttle or taxi is then paid for by the shop concerned.

Our advice: Be wary of conspicuously cheap tour offers. They are often subsidised by commissions from sales visits – with compulsory shopping stops, sales pressure and frequently inflated prices. Never buy under time pressure, compare prices and insist on a receipt and a certificate of authenticity.
