Tour description

Welcome to Istanbul! I offer a different tour through the city!
During the tour, we will discover the most important places in the city and the whole history.

Here are some highlights of the tour:
 
📌 Hippodrome
📌 Arasta Bazaar
📌
Hagia Sophia Mosque

Blue Mosque

Suleymaniye Mosque (optional) 


With the mosques as well, you will discover not only the mosque itself but also what is happening in the mosque in general, and what the calligraphies are.
 
We will meet in front of the German fountain and move to Blue Mosque Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia.

Note: Since we will be entering mosques, female guests are kindly requested to bring a headscarf and their chest and legs should also be covered.  Male guests’ shorts need to cover knees.

Long lines but we were persistent and go in. Glad to have seen the two big beautiful mosques, and hearing Hatice's perspective as a local and a practicing muslim was great.

We really enjoyed the tour with hatice. She knew all the local spots and shared interesting stories that brought the city alive. Truly, a memorable experience! Her knowledge and humor made this more than just a tour. It felt like we were exploring the city with an old friend. Her well-rounded education was evident, as she provided deep insights into Istanbul's rich history and culture. This was truly a memorable experience that made our visit to Istanbul all the more special :)
