Highlights

Private Guided Istanbul Old City Tour

Blue Mosque - An Ottoman imperial mosque that Sultan Ahmet built between 1609-1616. Even if it is called officially as Sultanahmet Mosque, the travelers named the Blue Mosque after they saw the blue tiles inside.

Hippodrome - An ancient chariot races U-shaped stadium with 100,000 spectators. Even though the Hippodrome had lost its seats, walls, and much of the remainings, the three monuments are still standing: the Egyptian Obelisk, Serpent Column, and Constantine Columns.

Topkapi Palace - Once was the heart of the Ottoman Empire as a residential palace and headquarters. Sultan Mehmet II built the palace in the 15th century, and then it became the center of the Ottoman Empire. Since 1924, The Topkapi Palace serves as a museum.

Hagia Sophia Mosque - Built by the Roman Emperor Justinian between 532-537 and became the highest and the biggest cathedral globally. The church was converted into a mosque by the Ottomans in the 15th century and became a museum in 1934. Hagia Sophia lost its museum status in July 2020 and has become a mosque again. Like the other mosques, Hagia Sophia is open to visitors.

Awesome - Our tour guide is very experienced, great knowledge of the history of the city. Flexible and easy going. We were a large group and she was always looking out for us, and always on time. We visited every place that was expected and then some local cuisine restaurants to let us have a deep experience of their culture. She was fluent in Spanish,

Unforgettable Experience! - Just Superb! Our family spent 3 days in Istanbul with our guide Hakan. He was amazing! Not only was his knowledge excellent, but he shared so much of his culture too. He took us to off the beaten path restaurants and experiences. His English is excellent and by the second day he felt like family. We always had a plan for each day, but he would also customize it based on our interests. We highly recommend this agency. Hakan truly made our experience in Istanbul the trip of a lifetime.
