Ticketing was all good. The tour was good. Busa did a good job of telling us the relevant historical points. It didn't include a tour of the old town which was advertised, just the blue mosque.

The guide's maturity and knowledge made the visit even richer. We learned details about the mosque that we wouldn't have been able to explore otherwise.

Our guide explained to us with passion and precision not only the Blue Mosque, but also the history of the Hippodrome and the three columns. Very interesting!"

Blue Mosque

Step into history with a guided tour of the Blue Mosque, where 20,000 hand-painted Iznik tiles in shades of blue stretch across its vast domes, reflecting sunlight streaming through 260 stained-glass windows. Six towering minarets pierce the sky, while calligraphy-covered arches guide you to its grand marble courtyard. From here, stroll through Old Town Istanbul, where you'll walk across the Hippodrome, once filled with roaring crowds. Admire the ancient Obelisk of Theodosius and the twisted Serpent Column, remnants of empires that once ruled these storied streets.

Bosphorus Cruise

Set sail on a 90-minute Bosphorus cruise, where an audio guide brings the sights to life with fascinating stories. Pass the medieval Galata Tower, standing tall with its cylindrical stone walls and pointed roof. Admire the ornate facades of Dolmabahce Palace and the Ciragan Palace, now a lavish waterfront hotel. The domed silhouette of the Ortakoy Mosque gleams against the backdrop of the Bosphorus Bridge, a steel giant linking two continents. The white marble walls of Beylerbeyi Palace glow in the sun, while the fairytale-like Maiden Tower perched on a tiny islet makes for an unmissable sight. Glide past the Topkapi Palace, with its sprawling courtyards, and admire the wooden seaside villas, their Ottoman-era balconies hanging over the shimmering waves.

Additional information

Blue Mosque

If you do not have a scarf or body cover, you can buy them at the entrance (a scarf is 1€ and a body cover is 3€).

While you can breeze through the ticket lines, security screening is standard for all guests. Be prepared for wait times of up to 60 minutes during peak travel periods.

Due to the Friday prayer, the Mosque will be closed to tourists from 12pm to 2pm. For a smoother experience, it's recommended to visit after 4pm to avoid the lengthy security line anticipated between 2pm and 4pm.

Bosphorus Cruise

You can choose to take the Bosphorus cruise on the same day or the next day. In addition to midday and afternoon departures, enjoy a special evening cruise at 6pm, available from April to October.
