Unser Guide war ein laufendes Lexikon und wusste zu allen Fragen Antworten! Er vermittelte die Geschichte dieser alten und neuen Welten und wir bekamen ein gutes Gefühl für die Geschichte der besuchten Orte! Die Cisterna und die Hagia Sophia sind ein Muss! Die blaue Moschee sehr beeindruckend! Dieses Ticket lohnt sich jederzeit und deckt so viel ab! Danke und wir empfehlen es jederzeit weiter!

The information provided by the tour guide Hussain was great although information regarding the pick up point was very unhelpful and there was no one to ask. Why not just say in front of the ticket office opposite the main entrance to the mosque

A truly memorable tour through three of Istanbul's most impressive landmarks: the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Basilica Cistern. Each site had its own unique charm — the architecture, history, and atmosphere were all fascinating. Our guide, Buse, was excellent: knowledgeable, clear and engaging in her explanations, and genuinely attentive to the group. She made the whole experience much richer. Highly recommend!"

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.

Choose your preferred language for your guided tours: the Blue Mosque tour is available in Spanish, French, German, or Portuguese, while the Basilica Cistern tour is available in French.
