Frequently asked questions
Are the airport transfers private or shared?
All airport transfers in this package are on a private basis, meaning your vehicle is exclusively for your group. This ensures a comfortable, direct journey between the airport and your hotel without any waiting for other passengers.
What does SIC (Seat-in-Coach) mean for the city tour?
SIC means you will join a small group of other travellers on the guided tour, sharing the coach and guide with fellow tourists. It is a cost-effective way to explore with expert commentary, and all entrance fees are included in the price.
Is the Grand Covered Bazaar open every day?
The Grand Covered Bazaar is closed on Sundays, so if your Day 2 tour falls on a Sunday, the visit to the Bazaar will not be possible. We recommend checking your travel dates in advance and discussing alternatives with your tour guide on the day.
What meals are included in this package?
Breakfast is included every morning at your hotel, and a local lunch is provided on Day 2 during the full-day city tour. All other meals, including dinners and any additional lunches, are at your own expense.
Can this package be booked for travel over New Year's Eve?
No — this package is valid for travel in November and December 2026, but New Year's dates are specifically excluded from the offer. Please get in touch with our team if you would like assistance planning a New Year's trip to Istanbul under a separate arrangement.
