Guided Tours

Istanbul Highlights Full-Day Tour

Spend a day walking through Istanbul's Old City with a guide, learning about its history as you come across Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and more.

Explore one of the oldest cities in the world on a 6-hour walking tour with a local guide unveiling its Byzantine and Ottoman histories.

Witness the Blue Mosque's cascading blue tiles and imagine the roar of crowds at the Hippodrome's Obelisk, a remnant of Byzantine glory.

Learn how the Basilica Cistern once supplied water for all of Constantinople and serviced the Ottoman’s grand jewel, the Topkapi Palace.

Keep an eye out for Istanbul's stray cats as you walk through the city, often seen lounging in sunny spots or interacting with locals.

Fun fact: The Obelisk was built in Egypt around 1479 BC and traveled over 2,000 miles by ship to its current location, where it was erected in the 4th century AD.

Explore a city at the crossroads of culture

Immerse yourself in Istanbul's Old City on this 6-hour walking tour. Your adventure begins near the Blue Mosque, where you’ll meet your guide. Prepare to be mesmerized by the Iznik tiles adorning the facade of the Blue Mosque, and learn about its significance in Islamic architecture. The next stop, the Hippodrome, will transport you back in time to chariot races and roaring crowds. Continue your exploration to the Grand Bazaar, a labyrinthine marketplace overflowing with spices, carpets, and handcrafted treasures. As you lose yourself in the sights and smells, remember that these very shops have served traders for centuries.

Stroll through echoes of empires

Unravel the layers of the Topkapi Palace from the outside, imagining the sultans and concubines who once resided within. Then, move on to Hagia Sophia, where your guide will tell you how the church, built on the site of a pagan temple, later became a mosque. At the Basilica Cistern, marvel at the engineering prowess beneath Istanbul's streets, once storing water for the entire city.
