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.
