Private sightseeing night tour in Istanbul

Recommend stops

Each street in Istanbul tell a different story, and the story changes during the night-time. Bright lights of the neon signs, sounds of laughter and the humming of deep conversations fill every corner. If you want to take a little tour of Istanbul at night, the Sightseeing Night Tour is a great choice.

The Half-Day Mosque Tour package includes the below steps, but you can customise your trip by letting your driver know which places you want to see. Your driver will be knowledgeable about the areas you will be visiting, so you can also ask him for a little info about each of your stops along the way. At the same time, you can enjoy the city from the comfort of your private vehicle, use the complimentary WiFi and enjoy snacks and refreshments during the ride.

Your driver will be waiting for you in the vehicle during each visit to the below steps.

1. The Pick-up and drive to Taksim Square

Your designated driver will pick you up from your desired location in Istanbul and you will start your journey to Taksim Square. Taksim Square is located on the European side of Istanbul and it is known as one of the most famous places in the country.

With authentic restaurants, cafes, hotels and shops, Taksim Square and the connected Istiklal Avenue is a wonderful example of the melting pot that Istanbul is. There are countless shops to visit as well as historical structures and landmarks along Istiklal street. At the end of Istiklal street, there is Galata tower.

The stone tower of Galata was built in 1348 by the Genoese who lived in the neighborhood at the time. The tower was the tallest structure in Istanbul with almost 67 meters in height. Galata Tower has an amazing view of the Bosporus, especially towards sunset.
