Connect with your group mates while wandering hidden lanes and stopping at street food stalls for samples along the way.
G Day: Istanbul
Set off on an unforgettable day seeing Istanbul’s iconic sites with a surprise G twist occurring somewhere along the way. Begin with a walk through the heart of the city, seeing the Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and the Basilica Cistern - the largest underground wells in Istanbul. Later, wander through the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest covered markets in the world, a bustling maze of shops selling traditional rugs, ceramics and other colourful wares.
