Itinéraire
La fontaine Allemande sur la place Sultanahmet d’Istanbul est un monument de style néo-byzantin, offert par le roi Guillaume II en 1901, célèbre pour son dôme en mosaïque dorée.
La place Sultanahmet est le cœur historique d'Istanbul, autrefois l'hippodrome de Constantinople, qui abrite aujourd'hui des monuments emblématiques comme la mosquée bleue, Sainte-Sophie, et la fontaine Allemande.
La Mosquée bleue (Mosquée Sultan Ahmed) est la mosquée la plus célèbre d’Istanbul, construite au XVIIe siècle. Il est réputé pour ses six minarets, son grand dôme et ses superbes tuiles bleues İznik.
Sainte-Sophie est le monument le plus emblématique d’Istanbul, construit à l’origine comme cathédrale byzantine en 537. Elle est devenue plus tard une mosquée ottomane, puis un musée, et est aujourd'hui une mosquée fonctionnelle, admirée pour son dôme massif et ses mosaïques époustouflantes.
La Citerne Basilicale est une merveille souterraine d'Istanbul, construite au VIe siècle pour stocker l'eau pour l'Empire Byzantin. Elle est célèbre pour sa forêt de colonnes de marbre, son éclairage atmosphérique et ses mystérieuses bases de tête de Méduse.
Descendez dans les rues d'Istanbul et découvrez l'ancienne Citerne de Théodose, un chef-d'œuvre byzantin caché qui prend vie grâce à l'éclairage immersif et à l'histoire.

Outstanding! Our guide Batu was so warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. He was very personable and made the entire tour enjoyable. I appreciated his knowledge but he wasn’t afraid to admit he didn’t know an answer to a question, but looked it up immediately. It was an awesome experience.
Had a great experience with Cean!
Beritan was an amazing tour guide, thanks once again for an unforgettable and unique experience. I really enjoyed learning a lot about Istanbul and Turkey's long and lasting history 👍😊. If you're here for just a few days or don't want a long tour, these 3 hours are ample time to appreciate the history, culture and artistry of the Turkish people. Highly recommend.

Amazing tour!! Our guide, Con/Jon was personable and had good energy. Knew a lot about all the places visited, and was happy to answer the groups questions. Would absolutely recommend him to any of my friends visiting Istanbul!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful time on the tour! Thank you so much for your kind words; it was a real pleasure having you with us.
Cem was truly a joy to have as a guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and made the day come alive. We all agreed it was a fascinating tour despite the scorching heat.
Overall, this was a good tour and we enjoyed seeing some of Istanbul’s most important historical sites. Our guide was friendly and the tour was well organized. I was hoping for more depth on the earlier Greek, Roman and Byzantine history of the sites. Hagia Sophia in particular has such an extraordinary history spanning different civilizations and eras, but much of the discussion focused on the Ottoman period and more recent events. I found myself looking up quite a few things afterward because I wanted to better understand the earlier history and how all of those layers connected. I also came across a few details afterward that differed from what we had been told on the tour. One practical challenge was bathroom access, particularly for women. I recognize this is largely outside of the guide’s control, but it did affect the experience and would have been helpful to plan around. The sites themselves are absolutely worth seeing, and the tour provides a good introduction. I just would have appreciated a more balanced historical perspective across the different periods represented by them.
everything was perfect, except that the "cistern" included in this tour is the Theodosius one and not the more famous "Basilica Cistern" of Justinian
