Reborn By Golden Horn
Tour description
The Byzantine Empire had its naval headquarters in the Golden Horn and walls were built along the shoreline to protect the city of Constantinople from naval attacks. At the entrance to the Horn on the northern side, a large chain was pulled across from Constantinople to the old Tower of Galata to prevent unwanted ships from entering.

Notes;
a) This is an exclusive tour which has an itinerary you cannot find anywhere else. It is not for group tour and is limited up to 5 people or less so it can be considered as a boutique or private tour. Price per person is 50 Euro and it can only be done if there are two people at least and if I am available on the requested day as I am a licensed tourguide and many different tour requests. Please check availability before sending a request.
b) Meals, drinks and museum entrances (if any) are not included in the tour. Places where we will be visiting are not touristic so prices will be comparably more affordable than major touristic spots of Istanbul.
c) As I am a licensed tour guide affiliated to the Turkish Cultural Ministry, I can only conduct tours with my official badge on me and a piece of official paper which shows all details about the tour. I have to show them to tourism officials in case of any inspection. Price policy is regulated by Cultural Ministry. Please check the official license of the guide before any tour you might participate in.
