No group timings and no language barrier: for four days a Mercedes Vito and an Arabic-speaking driver are at your family's disposal, and you set the route each morning.
A five-day programme that shows families Istanbul without exhausting the children: four nights in a family room and, for the whole stay, the same Arabic-speaking driver and a Mercedes Vito with child seats. Instead of keeping to a coach-tour timetable, you move at your own pace.
The Old City is covered on a short child-friendly route; the Bosphorus boat comes with seagull feeding and the afternoon with Vialand theme park. On day four the vehicle is yours for ten hours: Pierre Loti, Miniatürk, the aquarium or the big shopping malls.
Connecting family rooms, water and snacks in the vehicle and an early return to the hotel every evening make this the Istanbul programme most chosen by Gulf families travelling with children.
When your flight lands at Istanbul Airport (IST), our representative meets you in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name and escorts you with your luggage to your private air-conditioned vehicle. After a transfer of about 45 min you check in to your hotel and receive your Turkish SIM card and the 24/7 WhatsApp support number. Child seats are fitted in your vehicle; the same driver and Mercedes Vito stay with you for the whole stay.
The first evening is free so you can rest after your journey. Your guide shares recommendations for halal restaurants within walking distance and an easy evening stroll around Sultanahmet or Taksim. The next day's pickup time is confirmed via WhatsApp.
A relaxed 09:30 start: Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, then the dim columns and Medusa heads of the Basilica Cistern, the children's favourite. At Topkapı Palace the Sacred Relics and the arms collection are chosen instead of the Harem (shorter). Lunch of pide and meatballs; back at the hotel at 15:00 to rest, and the area around Galata Tower in the evening.
At 10:00 a 1.5-hour Bosphorus boat trip from Eminönü with seagull feeding and a simit break. After lunch, at 13:30, on to Vialand (İsfanbul) theme park: roller coasters, the kids' zone and the mall; tickets included. Your driver waits at the park exit and you are back at the hotel at 19:00.
Today the vehicle and driver are entirely yours from 09:00 to 19:00. Suggested route: the Pierre Loti cable car and Eyüp Sultan Mosque, Miniatürk, Istanbul Aquarium in Florya (ticket USD 20) and shopping at İstinye Park or Mall of Istanbul in the evening. Families who wish can make a day trip to Sapanca instead (fuel included).
After breakfast you check out; if your flight is later in the day your luggage is stored at reception. Your private vehicle is waiting at the hotel 3 hours before departure and reaches Istanbul Airport (IST) in about 45 min. Our representative assists you as far as the check-in desk – we look forward to welcoming you back to Türkiye.
