Istanbul for history geeks

Experiencing Istanbul’s night tour was magical. The city’s iconic landmarks lit up beautifully, and the audio guide provided rich, fascinating details. It was smooth, relaxing, and an unforgettable evening. I highly recommend it!”

Bon guide en Michael. Aurais aimé pouvoir avoir nos billets le matin du palais et du tour de bateau. Le matin, on devait suivre le guide pour entrer dans les différentes parties du palais. Pour les billets du bateau, il fallait aller encore ailleurs. Nous n'avions pas l'adresse du nouvel emplacement pour prendre les billets. Manque beaucoup de clarté et de précision.

I enjoyed the tour and the explanations offered by Hal, our guide. They were very informative and made the entire experience worth the time and money. I appreciate the guide for making the tour more interesting by sharing real life experiences from the life of the sultans, the harem and how all the Topkapi palace life contributed to lifting the ottoman elite. This kind of things you can't find in books. We visited as a family, with our daughters 9 and 6 years old, and although we had to translate for them, they were captivated and stayed interested the entire time we had Hal guiding us. This was a very good experience and I recommend to anyone interested to get real insights while visiting the Topkapi palace.

As a person who loves spa-ing, I can tell my fellow Spa fans that this is a must do! The experience was excellentand the woman who did all the services was amazing!!! this is my first time at a Turkish bath, and I really didn't know what to expect. Each phase of the experience was unique on its own. I was most in awe of the bubbles so many bubbles! I treated my husband to his own treatment on the men's side, and I know he was apprehensive about having a man do his services, but he ended up enjoying just as much as I did. This experience is one that I would definitely recommend and when I will do again for sure !
