Itinerary

  • Hippodrome

    The Hippodrome of Constantinople was a grand arena for chariot races, ceremonies, and public events, built in the 3rd century and expanded by Constantine I. It featured the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpent Column, and the Walled Obelisk on its central spina. A hub of Byzantine culture and power, it hosted celebrations and conflicts, like the Nika Riots. Its legacy endures despite its ruins today.

    30 minutes

  • Blue Mosque

    The Blue Mosque, or Sultan Ahmed Mosque, is a stunning masterpiece of Ottoman architecture in Istanbul. Built in the 17th century, it features six minarets, a grand courtyard, and an interior adorned with over 20,000 blue Ä°znik tiles. Visitors can admire its grandeur, peaceful atmosphere, and intricate design. Entry is free, but dress modestly, and visit outside prayer times for the best experience.

    45 minutes

  • Topkapi Palace Museum

    Topkapi Palace, a symbol of Ottoman grandeur, is a must-visit in Istanbul. Once home to sultans, this sprawling complex showcases opulent architecture, lush courtyards, and treasures like the Harem, Holy Relics, and the Imperial Treasury. Explore the stunning Bosphorus views and historical artifacts. Plan ahead to enjoy the rich history and allow time to immerse yourself in this iconic UNESCO site.

    3 hours

  • The Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, Istanbul

    Hagia Sophia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Istanbul, is a breathtaking fusion of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture. Originally a church, then a mosque, and now a mosque again, it features a vast dome, stunning mosaics, and intricate Islamic calligraphy. Visitors can marvel at its rich history and spiritual ambiance. Entry is free, but respectful attire is required. Best visited early to avoid crowds.

    1 hour

  • Grand Bazaar

    The Grand Bazaar, one of the world's oldest and largest covered markets, is a vibrant hub in Istanbul. With over 4,000 shops, it offers a unique shopping experience, featuring jewelry, carpets, spices, and souvenirs. Stroll its maze-like alleys, soak in the lively atmosphere, and enjoy traditional Turkish hospitality. Bargaining is encouraged! Visit early to explore comfortably and savor this iconic cultural treasure.

Salim is an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly. I didn't feel like traveling in a foreign country. My 2 kids and I felt so free and felt as if our brother is showing his hometown. Absolutely recommend Salim.

Good tour!

Our guide was very helpful and seeing Istanbul fulfilled a long held wish. My wife, whom I traveled with, has limited mobility. Salim was able to accommodate her with minimum hassle.
