What to expect

Meet your private guide at your hotel or port and start your full-day tour of Istanbul. Walk through the lively streets of Turkey’s largest city to visit the former basilica of the Hagia Sophia, an architectural marvel and an important monument from the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires.

Move onward to the Blue Mosque, also known as the Sultanahmet Mosque. Marvel at its distinctive blue tiles, from which it derives its name. Continue to Topkapi Palace, a relic of the glory days of the Ottoman Empire.

Located on a promontory overlooking the Golden Horn, it sits in tranquil gardens. Next, visit the Hippodrome, the former entertainment venue built in 203 AD by the Roman Emperor Septimus Severus

Reviews

Review for: Private walking tour without transportation

Can was very friendly and came punctually. We did the walking tour and we chatted a lot along the way, exchanging ideas and culture differences. He was very experienced and we didn’t have to rush throughout the walking trip. Will look him up again during next trip in Istanbul
