Itinéraire
Mosquée Sainte-Sophie - L'empereur Justinien l'a construite au VIe siècle. Elle est très importante dans le monde chrétien et musulman. Les cloches, l'autel et les vases sacrificiels ont été retirés après la conquête ottomane et de nombreuses mosaïques ont été recouvertes pour transformer l'église en mosquée.
Hippodrome - Lieu où se déroulaient les courses de chars à l'époque de l'Empire romain, colonne égyptienne de l'Empire byzantin. Aujourd'hui, la fontaine allemande est la pierre angulaire de la place.
Mosquée bleue - Le sultan Ahmet Ier de l'Empire ottoman l'a fait construire au début des années 1600. La Mosquée bleue est un chef-d'œuvre architectural d'une beauté époustouflante, aux proportions remarquablement délicates pour une structure de sa taille.
La citerne de la basilique est un réservoir d'eau souterrain qui a été construit à l'époque byzantine. Les visiteurs peuvent flâner le long de ses allées peu éclairées et admirer les 336 colonnes qui soutiennent la structure.
Grand Bazar - Avec plus de 4 000 boutiques, c'est le plus grand et le plus ancien marché couvert du monde. On y trouve de la céramique, du cuir, des tapis, des moquettes, de l'artisanat, des vêtements, de l'argent et de l'or.
Le palais de Topkapi est bien plus que la résidence impériale des sultans ottomans. Pendant près de 400 ans, il a servi de siège au Conseil exécutif suprême. Le palais de Topkapi est un magnifique exemple d'architecture orientale qui capture la majesté de l'Empire ottoman.

This was an excellent guided tour of old town. Fatih was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The day was very flexible allowing us to see all the sites we wanted to. Highly recommended
It was my husband and I and Beko. So very private. He was so informative and so helpful in so many ways. He knows his way around and what to Do and when to do it so you don’t wait in line (at least at the 8 am time when we went). We took the electric train from Galataport cruise port to Old town and walked the rest of the time till we got back on the train to go back to the port. He lets you customize what you want to do, but we had him do what he thought was best and it was awesome. It is a lot of walking and standing, just so you know. We walked over 6 miles with him. But we would highly recommend.

Mr.K was an excellent guide. Educated all over the world, speaking 5 languages, his knowledge was broad and his specific knowledge about turkey "go to" places was excellent. Educated at MIT, his English was excellent. Back at ship at precisely requested time. Great tour

We had an excellent experience with our tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the history and culture of every place we visited. He explained everything in an engaging way and was always happy to answer our questions. What really stood out was his flexibility. He was very accommodating, adjusted the itinerary to fit our needs, and adapted the plans smoothly as the day went on. Thanks to his organization and local knowledge, we were also able to skip many of the long ticket lines, which gave us more time to enjoy the attractions instead of waiting. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and informative guide who truly goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable.

A fantastic way to experience Istanbul. Having a local guide made the city come alive in a way that would have been impossible to replicate on our own. Nazan was warm, personable, and full of knowledge, providing valuable cultural context throughout the tour. It was incredibly helpful to have a guide navigate the major sites, and Nazan also took some great photos along the way. An authentic, enriching experience that I would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our tour with Berkant! He tailored our tour to our needs and was very accommodating! I can’t recommend it enough!

Our guide was a historical and cultural expert. His English was perfect and he flexed to our every need. He went out of his way to accommodate us and ensure a superb trip. He took us to local places and must see experiences. It was not about the money, but about making sure our visit was perfect. In truth, I have never had a guide like him anywhere in the world. If you are going to Istanbul and you decide to hire a guide, insist on Fatih by name. He is trustworthy, dependable, and a genuinely nice person. He will go at your speed and creates your own unique experience according to your interests.

Ugurcan was out tour guide and he was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge of the five attractions we went see was incredible. Little details that would not be captured on audio guides were well worth the cost. In addition when our five attractions were completed he brought us back to our hotel. We had been unsure how to get to Eskisehir and Ugurcans showed us how to navigate from our hotel using the tram and train Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great day Ronnie and Mary Ireland 🇮🇪
