For teams based in Istanbul that cannot set aside a full day, it is the most practicable option in the week of 29 October. ### The route - **Dolmabahçe Palace:** state protocol in the Republican period and where Atatürk worked in Istanbul. - **Taksim Republic Monument:** the story of how the monument was built and the period's understanding of public space. - **İstiklal and the Pera line:** the urban [culture](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/tour-categories/culture-and-city-programmes) that changed in the early Republic — the publishing houses, cinemas and coffee houses. - **Closing:** the programme ends with group coffee or lunch in Pera. ### Format The programme is walking-weighted; the total distance is roughly 3 kilometres and the rest points are built into the flow. A follow-vehicle option is offered for participants with limited mobility. For groups above 40 a wireless headset system is used, so the guide's narrative is not lost in street noise. ### Planning note In the holiday week, visiting hours at Dolmabahçe can change and access restrictions around Taksim may be in force because of ceremonies. We confirm the programme against that information and, where necessary, run the route in reverse. The recommended minimum planning time is 4 weeks. ** ### Highlights ** Low carbon ** Accessible ** On-site coordination ** Local economy ** ### Additional Services ** Professional guiding service ** Museum and palace entry fees ** Wireless headset system (for groups of 40 or more) ** Closing refreshments ** On-site coordinator ** Travel insurance, single contract / single invoice ** ### Who Is It For? ** Corporate teams of 15-120 ## Corporate Fit - Suitable Team Size Corporate teams of 15-120 - Segment Economy - Extra Features Low carbon, Accessible, On-site coordination, Local economy Corporate Program Summary A half-day Istanbul route for the week of 29 October: Dolmabahçe, the Taksim Republic Monument and Pera.

Half a day — 3.5 to 4 hours on average. It is designed for teams based in Istanbul that cannot set aside a full day; a programme starting in the morning allows a return to the office in the afternoon. How much walking does it involve? The total walking distance is 2.5-3 km, on level ground with stops along the way. The pace is set by the group. Shuttle support between stops can be planned for participants who find walking difficult; that request must be made in advance. What group sizes does it suit? 15-60 people. On an outdoor walk, a second guide is brought in once the group passes 30; with a single guide the narrative becomes hard to hear on busy streets. What happens if it rains? Because the route includes indoor stops (the palace interiors, the museum), the programme continues in light rain. In heavy rain the route is shortened and an indoor-weighted alternative flow takes over; that alternative is defined before the programme. How far ahead should it be planned? 4-6 weeks is enough. Because palace and museum group appointments fill quickly in the week of 29 October, though, an early decision secures your preferred time slot. Can the programme run on a day other than 29 October? Yes. It can run throughout the week of 29 October, and for most organisations that is more practical: on the public holiday itself, museum crowds and traffic are at their peak.
