One itinerary started with the Blue Mosque and breakfast, with optional visits to Hagia Sophia and Topkapı Palace. It ended with an evening Bosphorus cruise and an airport transfer.

If you do not want to enter Hagia Sophia or Topkapı Palace, a combined itinerary can leave time to explore Sultanahmet independently before the evening cruise. Dinner may also be optional, allowing you to eat on your own.
