What time does the ship arrive and sail?
Costa Pacifica arrives at Galataport at 07:00 and sails at 17:30 or 18:00, depending on the sailing. Check your Costa travel documents: we plan around the real times.
Where does our luggage go?
In the van, which stays locked and always with the driver. Groups of up to 5 can also choose the VIP Vito lounge.
Which airport?
Both: Istanbul Airport (IST), about 50 minutes from Galataport, and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), about 1 hour 15 minutes. Add it to your request with your flight time.
What if my flight is late?
We track your flight and your guide waits. If needed we shorten the tour: getting you to the terminal in time for boarding comes first.
Is the Grand Bazaar open on Sundays?
No, it is closed on Sundays, so the Sunday plan visits the Spice Bazaar instead. On Saturdays the Grand Bazaar is open.
What if the van does not fill up?
The tour still runs. The price per person follows the number of guests, and we confirm it before you pay.
Are we insured?
Yes. Every guest has personal accident and emergency medical insurance for the whole day, included in the price.
