  • Please note that the number of attractions depends on the selected option. Private transfers and a tour of Hagia Sophia are not included in the basic 2-hour option.
  • The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are functioning mosques, so there are special rules for visitors with free admission. Women are not allowed outside the women’s and visitor area. Mosques are usually closed to non-Muslims during prayer hours (5 times a day). All visitors must undergo mandatory security checks and adhere to mosque etiquette, which includes a modest dress (head scarves for women only; covered shoulders and knees, no hats and shoes for men and women). If entry is not possible, all information will be provided outside.
  • For the convenience of all guests, it is best to have 1 licensed guide per maximum of 25 guests. If there are 26-50 people in your group, we will provide the service of 2 licensed guides so that all guests can get the best experience, ask questions and hear the guide well.
  • The 3,5 and 5,5-hour options include an estimated 1,5-hour transfer time between the meeting point and the accommodation address provided when booking. Please note that the transfer time quoted is for information purposes only and may take longer or shorter depending on the distance and traffic.
  • We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van or minibus for groups of 5 people and more. If you’re traveling in a smaller group but want to travel in a more spacious car, we recommend booking a 5-people tour to take advantage of a larger vehicle.
