Starting with a welcome at 09:00, the programme ends at around 13:00. It is designed for department teams interested in the late Ottoman period who are looking for a calm, walking-based cultural activity away from crowded museums. ### What is in the programme? Yıldız is a palace complex that served as the residence and seat of government of Sultan Abdülhamid II in the last quarter of the 19th century; rather than a single building, it consists of pavilions, apartments and workshops spread across a grove. When the sultan left his palace on the Bosphorus shore for a more secluded place to live, this hillside above Dolmabahçe became the empire's centre of decision-making. After the guide's general briefing, the group first walks through the gardens and outer grounds, then moves on to a detailed commentary on the pavilions and historic buildings. Through structures such as the Şale Pavilion, the Malta and Çadır pavilions and the Yıldız Porcelain Factory, founded to supply the palace, the tour examines the diplomacy, security and daily life of the period. The programme closes with a photo stop and free time at 12:30. ### Highlights - A guided route that explains the approach to government under Abdülhamid II through the places themselves - A walk through the green setting of the grove, away from heavy traffic and crowds - The chance to compare the architectural styles of pavilions built in different periods - Timing that ends at midday and fits easily into a working day ### Who Is It For? It suits department and project teams of 6-35. The small group size makes it easy to build a commentary open to questions and answers with the guide, so it can be chosen as a team bonding day, an orientation activity for new joiners or a way to show international guests one of [Istanbul](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/destinations/istanbul-corporate-trips)'s lesser-known palaces. The physical effort is low to moderate: two to three hours of walking on the sloping paths of the grove. ### Planning Notes - Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for walking in the gardens; in summer, the morning start is an advantage. - Transport, food and drink, and palace / museum entry fees are not included in the price; they should be planned separately if needed. - As the paths in the grove are sloping, comfortable, non-slip shoes are recommended. - In wet weather, time outdoors can be shortened and the commentary weighted towards indoor spaces. ** ### Additional Services ** Professional guiding ** Corporate event planning ** Tour coordination support ** A programme created for the group ## Corporate Fit - Suitable Team Size Department and project teams of 6-35 - Segment Economy - Extra Features Local economy, Low waste, Accessible Corporate Program Summary The Yıldız Palace corporate tour is a guided half-day programme of around 4 hours in Beşiktaş, Istanbul, covering the palace gardens and pavilions; it is for teams of 6-35. ## Included Services / Excluded Services - Professional guiding - Corporate event planning - Tour coordination support - A programme created for the group - Transport - Food and drink - Museum and palace entry fees - Personal expenses - Extra activities ## Tour Gallery ![Yıldız Palace Corporate Tour](https://cdn.kurumsalgeziler.com/storage/tours/detail/87-detail-20260409002854.webp) ** ** ## Tour & Event Plan 09:00: Welcome Welcome at the agreed point and a briefing on the arrangements 09:30: Briefing General introduction with a professional guide 10:00: Start of the Tour - Outdoors Tour of the Yıldız Palace gardens and outer grounds 11:00: Pavilions Detailed commentary on the pavilions and historic buildings 12:30: Free Time Photo stop and free time 13:00: End of the tour The tour ends at the agreed finishing point ## FAQ How many hours does the tour last?
