Overview

Immerse yourself in Istanbul's wonderful history and lively culture with this one day tour that takes you to some of the old city's most popular and iconic landmarks. The tour begins with a pick up at your hotel. Hop in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, and then head off for the first stop of the tour: the Roman Hippodrome, where chariot races occurred during the Roman and Byzantine eras. Check out the Blue Mosque, the only mosque with six minarets, known for the lovely blue colors of the iznik tiles used inside. Near the Blue Mosque is the German Fountain, built to commemorate Emperor Wilhelm II, and the majestic Hagia Sophia, a basilica made in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian. Your last stop for the tour is the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest covered markets worldwide! Comprised of over 61 streets and 4,000 different shops, this is the perfect stop to purchase memorable souvenirs to bring home to your family and friends.

Highly recommend Tourmania Travel Guides

Published on Jan, 2025

We had an excellent tour of the Topkapi Palace with Hasan this afternoon. Hasan is a very knowledgeable and interesting guide who brought the history of the place to life. He is also extremely polite and professional. I highly recommend tours with him to other visitors.

Loved it!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Fatih Mehmet as our tour guide during our visit to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Fatih is incredibly knowledgeable—a true history buff who brought centuries of history to life with his engaging storytelling. His passion for the subject made the tour feel like an immersive journey through time. Fatih’s kindness and patience stood out as he thoughtfully answered all of our questions and ensured everyone in our group felt included. His sense of humor added an extra layer of enjoyment, making the tour both informative and fun. He truly made these iconic landmarks come alive with fascinating details and historical insights. If you’re looking for a guide who can make history captivating and memorable while keeping the atmosphere light and welcoming, Fatih is the one to go with. Highly recommend!

The BEST hands down!

Published on Jul, 2024

Our new profound information about Turkey’s history and beautiful architecture wouldn’t have been possible without Elfi’s help. From the moment we met her she was nothing but welcoming and kind to both my children ages eleven and fifteen, and to my parents who are both in their sixties. She was also extremely accommodating letting us take breaks and taking our pictures when needed. Turkey is well known for the Ottoman Empire and is rich in history. My family and I got to learn way more about the oriental culture with the help of Elfi’s knowledge. She is extremely intelligent, funny, relatable, and she is all for going at the tourists pace. From helping us shop for jewelry and souvenirs in the grand bazaar, to taking us to lunch at an exquisite (and cheap) kebap restaurant. She carried interesting and meaningful conversation with all my family members, especially with my fifteen year old. And considering it was only her first year, it felt as if she was an expert at the job. My family and I enjoyed Turkey so much and would definitely go again. Elfi is certainly a five stars in my book and I would recommend her over any tour guide. Parents review: My parents have never been to Turkey before, so for their first time they had a marvelous time. They would also recommend it to anyone who could take the time to fly out to Turkey. But before they recommended it to anyone, they’re going to go back first!!

Great experience
