Overview

Step into the refined world of the Ottoman Sultans with a fully private journey that combines royal history and authentic imperial cuisine. Your licensed guide meets you at your hotel or cruise port and plans the smoothest route to the Old City by tram or taxi based on traffic. Explore Topkapi Palace at your own pace, including the Imperial Treasury, Sacred Relics Chamber, Palace Kitchens, Vintage Clock Collection, and the mysterious Imperial Harem. Then continue to Deraliye Ottoman Cuisine Restaurant for a private hands-on cooking class led by an expert chef specializing in palace recipes. Prepare three authentic dishes, learn historical techniques and spices, and enjoy what you cook. Optional private continuation to the Grand Bazaar is available based on your schedule.
