Buse was excellent, could not recommend her any higher. She was knowledgeable, personable, and very funny. The sites were amazing, regardless of a little construction.

Our family visited Istanbul on a cruise ship. I decided to book this tour independently rather than through the cruise. It was easy to get to the meeting point and meet our tour guide Beritan. It was a small group, and it is so much easier than having 50+ cruisers. He was very knowledgeable and guided us with ease to all the important points. If you're in Istanbul, get a guide. you wont regret

Un timo.Mas caro que con cualquier otra página .La guía súper borde, no se le oía nada pero le daba igual ,soltó el rollo a velocidad.Nos dieron un QR que era supuestamente la audio guía que no explicaba nada solo el nombre de la estancia . De todas formas el palacio topkapi no vale la pena,mucho terreno poco que ver

Fantastic tour providing insights into two most grand religious buildings in the history. Hal was an excellent guide, smoothly navigating the queues and bringing us to the most interesting spots.

Walk straight into the Blue Mosque with a licensed guide who reveals why its minarets caused a stir and how its architecture enhances prayers.

Gaze at the vast marble courtyard, elegant cascading domes, colossal columns nicknamed “elephant feet,” and inscriptions hand-drawn by Ottoman calligraphers.

A guide leads the way through the mosque and an Old City walking tour past the Hippodrome, ancient Obelisks, and Byzantine relics.

Enhance your journey with a Bosphorus cruise for unbeatable skyline views, take a Hagia Sophia tour to uncover its hidden frescoes, or explore the Basilica Cistern.

Bosphorus Cruise (if selected as part of the tour)

What to bring

Bring your walking shoes, water bottle, hat, sunglasses, and snacks for comfortable exploration.

Bring local currency or your preferred payment method for meals, souvenirs, and extra delights not covered by the ticket.

Stay ahead of the game; download the audio app beforehand to dodge any network glitches at the location.

Don’t forget your trusty earphones for an immersive audio guide experience.

What's not allowed

Hagia Sophia

The prayer area on the first floor can only be entered by Turkish citizens.

Strict dress code: Women should not wear knee-length shorts, skirts, or clothing with exposed shoulders or chests. Hair should be partially covered with a scarf. Men should not wear knee-length shorts or clothing with exposed shoulders.

Accessibility

Basilica Cistern

This experience is wheelchair accessible.

Hagia Sophia

This tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Additional information

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€).

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.

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.

Hagia Sophia is under renovation, therefore, not all parts of the building are open to the public.

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.
