## Tour Detail

ISTANBUL – PARIS – (Paris Icons Tour)
Following the baggage drop-off, check-in and passport control procedures that we will complete 3 hours before the flight at the International Departures Terminal of Istanbul Airport, we fly to Paris at 07:55 on Turkish Airlines’ scheduled flight TK1821. Arrival in Paris at 09:35 local time. We depart with our private vehicle waiting for us at the airport to arrange our Paris city tour. During our panoramic city tour, starting with Paris' magnificent squares, we will visit Trocadero Square, located on the hill directly opposite the Eiffel Tower, offering the most beautiful view of the tower and featuring many cafes and restaurants. The Opera House, Concorde Square decorated with 365 street lamps, and Champs-Élysées Avenue will be seen, and following free time here, we arrive at our Paris hotel. Free time for room allocation and relaxation. In the evening, guests who wish may join our optional Paris Icons Tour (65 Euros). During our tour, we will first go to Montmartre Hill, known as the “Hill of Painters” thanks to its bohemian lifestyle that still continues today, its street painters and caricaturists, and the many famous painters who have worked there; it is also the highest point in Paris. After visiting the Sacré-Cœur Basilica (Church of Vows) rising on this 130-meter-high hill (the funicular transportation fee is included in the optional tour price), we will have free time to have your portrait drawn in the painters’ square and explore the surroundings. At the end of the tour, we return to our hotel.
PARIS – (Paris Phenomena Tour and Seine River Boat Tour) – (Paris Local Neighborhoods & Luxembourg Gardens & Outlet Tour)
After breakfast, we offer a full day of free time. Guests who wish may join our optional Paris Phenomena and Seine River Boat Tour (85 Euros). We begin our Paris Phenomena tour with the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris and even France. This steel and iron structure, built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Paris III Universal Exhibition, attracted great interest from tourists during and after the Universal Exhibition in 1889, so its demolition was abandoned and it has survived to the present day. We offer free time around the Eiffel Tower for photography and exploring the area. During this free time, guests who wish may go up to the tower’s second floor, which consists of 3 sections (levels), each accessible by elevator, enjoy the unique view of Paris and take beautiful photographs (The optional Eiffel Tower elevator fee is €23 and is not included in the optional tour price). Following our Eiffel tour, we organize a Seine River (Seine) boat tour. (The boat tour is included in the optional tour price.) The 776-kilometer-long Seine River, one of the best-known rivers in the world, divides the city in two. During our journey on the long boats slowly moving along the river, we will see many of Paris’ famous buildings and the 37 bridges over the river from a unique perspective. Following our Seine River tour, we will panoramically see the Lady Diana Memorial via the route through Invalides Square, the Palais Royal, a royal entertainment center in the 17th century, and Comédie-Française Square, which contains many historic buildings including the French State Theater, before arriving at the BENLUX Store, the international center of Paris fashion with its perfumes since 1959, where we will have free time for shopping and exploring the surroundings. Guests who wish may visit the Louvre Museum during the free time offered after our photo stop at the museum, which was built as a fortress for defensive purposes during the Middle Ages but began to be used as a museum after the French Revolution and was visited by nearly 10 million people in 2012 (The optional Louvre Museum entrance fee is €23 and is not included in the optional tour price). During the free time offered in the city center after the tour, guests who wish may join our optional Paris Local Neighborhoods & Luxembourg Gardens & Outlet Tour (50 Euros). During our tour, we will first take a walking tour and explore the passages in St. Michel and St. Germain, which are lively and vibrant at all hours with their luxury shops, cafes and restaurants, and where mostly Parisians prefer to continue their daily lives, allowing us to observe the truly Parisian atmosphere; afterward, we will offer free time for shopping and exploring the surroundings. Continuing our tour, we visit the Church of Saint-Sulpice, known as the pearl of artistic architecture in Paris and host to the weddings of many world-famous names, followed by the Luxembourg Gardens, which inspire painters with their colorful flowers, impressive lake views, fascinating statues and historic monuments. At the end of the tour, we will offer free time for enjoyable shopping at Paris’ famous Outlet shopping center, home to stores of many renowned brands offering everything from shoes and glasses to sports equipment and household goods, beauty products, ornaments and accessories. After the tour, we return to our hotel.
PARIS – (Bruges Tour) – BRUSSELS – AMSTERDAM
Following breakfast and the hotel check-out procedures, we depart for Brussels. Along the way, guests who wish may join our optional Bruges Tour (50 Euros). Known as the “Venice of Belgium” thanks to its houses situated in the water and its streets made up of canals, Bruges is considered a true dream city. The city’s historic structure and medieval architecture, which miraculously escaped damage during World War II, have survived to the present day. The colorful, single-story houses resembling cakes that appear in the city square, churches, statues and cobblestone medieval city streets will draw us into a fairy tale. Following our city tour in Bruges, we continue our journey toward Brussels. We depart for Brussels city center to conduct our city tour. Brussels, which is also considered the capital of Europe and the European Union because it hosts many institutions related to both Belgium and the European Union and NATO, is a city that has managed to preserve many historical works throughout history. Following our city tour in Brussels, home to Grand Place, one of Europe’s most famous and lively squares, and renowned venues with Gothic-style historic and architectural character, we depart for Amsterdam. Upon arrival at our hotel in the Amsterdam area, we will have room allocation and free time for relaxation.

We complete our program with a walking tour through the streets surrounded by well-maintained and beautiful houses and along the waterfront filled with restaurants and cafes, then depart for our next stop, Zaandam. Located on the banks of the Zaan River in the north of the country, Zaandam is among the favorites of Instagram influencers due to its characteristic as an open-air museum where modern shopping opportunities and historic traditional green Zaan houses come together. After the sightseeing and free time we will offer in Zaandam, which holds the distinction of being the place where the first McDonald’s restaurant in Europe opened, we arrive at Zaanse Schans. With its windmills, museums, nature and culture, this historic town is one of the Netherlands’ most popular tourist attractions.
