Your Istanbul tour itinerary

Start our day by exploring the Hippodrome which was originally the stadium where once chariots ran in front of ten thousands of spectators. We make our ways to the world-famous Blue Mosque. The iconic temple will take your breath away with its six minarets and enchanting 22000 pieces of blue hand-made tiles. Afterwards we'll visit Hagia Sophia which had been the biggest Christian church of the world for centuries. It is the only place in the world where you can experience the marvelous Byzantine mosaics along with the mysterious Islamic calligraphy. Next is the Underground Cistern the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city. Next on our agenda is the massive Topkapi Palace which is a very particular place since it was home to the Ottoman Sultans and their harem for centuries. I think we are done with sightseeing. Now it's time to enjoy some local market experience. With its 66 Streets and over 4000 Shops, the Grand Bazaar is the biggest covered market in the world.

Transportation Details
Type: Walking

This is a guiding only walking tour as the sights are very close to each other and can't be done by a car as the motor vehicles are not allowed to go into the old-city. If you are staying in the old-city (Sultanahmet area) we don't need any transportation. If you are staying out of the old-city area (or if you want to be picked up from the cruise ship port) please contact me for detailed information about the transportation options from/to the old-city.
