Luxury tour operator, Grand Tourist is now offering a stunning weekend break in Istanbul, the perfect Turkish retreat and alternative City break holiday.
The modern City of Istanbul has maintained its ancient origins whilst expanding and modernising and has rapidly become a haven of choice for the discerning and more adventurous visitor. Renowned as a vibrant, modern city, Istanbul is a magical place of diverse cultures and eastern scents where visitors receive the warmest of Turkish welcomes and the most incredible experiences.
Travelling with Grand Tourist ensures that you receive an itinerary packed to suit the experience you want to have on holiday and that can be as full and energetic or laid back and leisurely as you please.
The latest four day /three night programme from Grand Tourist is an opportunity to really experience the true Turkish culture and lifestyle with a weekend full of opportunity and sight-seeing.
With most sites being just a five minute walk from the hotel, you can visit the incredible Roman Cistern (underground water system) before looking in awe at a Turkish carpet maker, weaving his magic! No trip would be complete without a boat ride on the Bosphoros towards the Black Sea and a visit to the stunning Blue Mosque with its impressive presence on the Istanbul skyline, its courtyards, tiled façade and book-sellers.
With a choice of hotels on offer, guests of Grand Tourist can stay at the delightful Blue House Hotel, Sultanahmet, a comfortable boutique-style town-house hotel, elegantly furnished with typical Turkish fabrics. This is a first class hotel with comfortable rooms, a pleasant roof terrace and a great location.
For those with a penchant for the City-lifestyle hotel, guests can stay at The Four Seasons Hotel, Sultanahmet. One of the best hotels in the city, this is a magnificent five star property with elegant, spacious rooms, a superb garden courtyard and all the facilities and services of an international hotel set in an important historic building (formerly a prison).
Established in 2005, Grand Tourist provide exquisite tailor-made travel, working closely with their clients to provide a highly personal travel planning experience for that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At Grand Tourist, the philosophy is simple: to provide a truly exceptional experience.
