It was a fantastic day exploring this amazing city's stunning highlights. This city was once called 'Constantinople' and served as the capital of the Byzantium and Ottoman Empires, making it steeped in history.

As you travel around the city with the tour, you will visit cultural icons that have undergone various changes throughout history. For instance, you will see the Hagia Sophia, which initially began as a church, then became a mosque, and later a museum. Since 2020, it has been a functional mosque, but the upper gallery has been used as a museum since the beginning of 2024.

You will also come across ruins showcasing ancient icons and even some monuments in the parks.

Frequently asked questions

Hotel Pick-up & Meeting Point

Meet your private guide at your hotel or a designated location in Istanbul for an exclusive tour of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.

Visit the Blue Mosque

- Your first stop is the Blue Mosque, famous for its stunning blue tiles. Built between 1609 and 1617 by Ottoman architect Mehmet Aga, it was designed in front of the Hagia Sophia, drawing inspiration from earlier masterpieces like Süleymaniye and Selimiye Mosques by Mimar Sinan.

- Explore the intricately designed interiors, with more than 50 different handmade Iznik tiles.

Visit Hagia Sophia

- Next, head to Hagia Sophia, originally a Christian basilica, then a mosque, and now a museum. Known for its massive dome, this architectural wonder is one of the greatest achievements in history.

- Discover the history behind its construction, the impressive dimensions of the main hall, and the captivating decorative medallions and monolithic columns.

Topkapi Palace

As the administrative center for nearly 400 years of the Ottoman Empire and one of the world's greatest empires, Topkapi Palace is undoubtedly Istanbul's most important historical site. It is also one of Europe's most frequently visited museums, with more than 2.5 million visitors annually.

Tour End & Meeting Point
