TÜRSAB 17044 · Istanbul DMC
For two weeks every April, Istanbul plants millions of tulips — the flower that went from the Bosphorus to Holland, not the other way round. This seasonal special times the classic city sights to the festival's peak: carpet-like beds at Emirgan Korusu, the palace gardens of Gülhane in bloom, plus Galataport and the wooden houses of Kuzguncuk.
Every tour includes a daily 15-minute survival-Turkish session with your guide — order your çay, haggle at the bazaar, greet like a local. Plus free access to Eda, our AI Turkish tutor, before and after your trip.
✨ Any date, any group size — every departure is arranged for you.
VIP welcome, boutique check-in and an evening at the modern cruise waterfront.
The Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapı — ending among Gülhane's tulips.
Dolmabahçe, Galata, the festival's centrepiece at Emirgan Korusu, then Kuzguncuk on the Asian side.
Concierge day — hammam, shopping or a Bosphorus boat.
Breakfast, last souvenirs and VIP transfer.
