Itinerary

Day 1

Step back in time to the golden era of 19th-century Istanbul with our Orient Express Istanbul Tour. This immersive experience will take you on a journey through the legendary route of the Orient Express, a train that once connected Istanbul to the rest of Europe in opulent style.

Begin your adventure at Constantinople Train Station, now known as Sirkeci Train Station, and see the original Orient Express carriages of the Wagon-Lits company, a true relic of the past. As you explore the surrounding area, you’ll discover old shops, markets, mosques, and churches that tell the story of this vibrant, historical district. You’ll also hear about Agatha Christie’s famous novel, "Murder on the Orient Express," which was inspired by this very area, adding an extra layer of intrigue to your journey.

Next, enjoy a scenic boat tour around the Golden Horn, offering breathtaking views of the city’s iconic skyline. Continue your exploration by visiting The Tunnel, the oldest subway in the world, which ascends from Karaköy to Şişhane—a fascinating piece of transportation history.

Your tour will conclude with a leisurely walk through the lively streets of Galata and Beyoğlu, where the old world meets the modern hustle and bustle of Istanbul. You’ll feel the pulse of this dynamic city as you explore its rich heritage, historic landmarks, and vibrant culture.
