Tour description

  • Sultanahmet Square (Hippodrome) 
  • German Fountain 
  • Serpent Column (the Spartans)

Notes
The tour will be conducted by a licensed professional guide. It is expected to contribute 10€ / $ per person (some pays 10€ some 50€) based on your satisfaction.

We are going to visit inside Blue Mosque and Sokullu Mosque. The other attractions will be explained from the outside. In some cases, we may not be able to visit the interior of some of the mentioned mosques.

For a better experience we keep the groups smaller. Please book only if you are sure that you will attend the tour.

Adequate attire needed to enter the mosques. Women need to have headscarf too.  

We plan the tours according to mosque times. So, we need to change the time slightly sometimes. If there is a change, we will inform you a day before.

This tour has limited seats.  If you will not attend due to some changes in your plans, we kindly ask you to cancel on your bookings page or from email of confirmation to open space for other visitors.

For the best experience, please be in meeting point few minutes earlier and keep in contact (better on WhatsApp).

All I want is that travelers will leave Istanbul with the feeling of having been in an amazing city full of life and admire to come back again and again to discover more. Istanbul is a love.

You can contact me for private tour requests as well.

Cero recomendado. Exigió un mínimo de 20 euros por persona para hacer el tour porque éramos 2. Me exijió cancelar el tour ya que no estaba dispuesto a hacerlo. Nos hizo perder el tiempo completamente. Muy poco profesional. Por favor no hagan tours con él.
