Frequently asked questions
Are the museum and mosque entrance fees included in the package?
Entrance fees are not explicitly included in this package and should be budgeted for separately. We recommend checking current admission prices for Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, and other sites before travel.
What happens if Topkapi Palace or the Grand Covered Bazaar is closed on the day of our tour?
Topkapi Palace and Hagia Eirene are closed on Tuesdays, while the Grand Covered Bazaar is closed on Sundays — our team schedules Day 2 to avoid these closures wherever possible. If your travel dates fall on these days, our local guide will arrange suitable alternative experiences.
Is the Bosphorus cruise suitable for children and senior travellers?
Yes, the Bosphorus cruise is a relaxed, scenic boat ride suitable for all ages and mobility levels. The views of palaces, bridges, and the city skyline make it an enjoyable experience for the whole family.
Are flights included in this Istanbul package?
Flights are not included in this package, as airfares vary greatly depending on your departure city and travel dates. Our team can assist you with flight recommendations if needed.
What is the dress code for visiting the mosques in Istanbul?
Modest dress is required when entering mosques such as the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia — shoulders and knees should be covered, and women are asked to wear a headscarf. We recommend carrying a scarf or shawl in your day bag for easy access.
