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.

Good tour! Egeman was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and conducted the tour at an appropriate pace! The tour company was really helpful, advising us ahead of time the easiest route to the meeting point. Definitely recommend.
Our guide Tolga was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and his English was excellent. He was on time with our small group and had suggestions for other sights to see while we are in Istanbul. Also he offered to show us good restaurants and Hamams in the area. He was also very generous and bought us waters as it was a hot day. Thank you again Tolga
Tour guide was excellent. Very informative. Egemen was our tour guide.. very knowledgeable.
Our tour was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained the history of Blue Mosque and Sophie thoroughly.
I had an excellent experience with Furkan Emre from Tourmania. He is a young, knowledgeable guide who clearly knows Istanbul inside and out. Throughout the tour, he shared many insider details and pointed out small things that I would have completely missed on my own, which made the experience much richer. One thing I especially appreciated was that the Hagia Sophia tickets were included in the tour price. Many other tours I considered did not include the tickets, so this added great value and convenience. Furkan was also very helpful beyond the standard tour information. He recommended the best locations and times to take pictures of the Blue Mosque, which helped me get some fantastic photos. Whenever I asked specific questions, he was always willing to answer and provide additional insights. I highly recommend Furkan and Tourmania to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, and helpful guide in Istanbul.
The positive is that the guide was accommodating and helpful looking for answers when he didn't have them. What could be improved, the tour was like reading labels off of monuments, ie very little story telling. There was a lot of silence where we just stood around the guide with the factoids not leading to questions, normally we would be given time to explore and come back at certain time. Haigia sofia is all under construction, not very interesting. Skipping the line was highlight for me, but unfortunately the content side of things could be improved.
Dear Guest, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry the tour didn't fully meet your expectations. Your feedback on the storytelling and pacing is taken seriously and will be addressed with our guides directly. Skip-the-line access aside, we know we can do better and we hope to have the chance to prove it to you. Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
We booked a 3 and a half tour of the Palace. What we got was a 1 hour tour. The 1 hour was excellent and as we had not booked the full day option we remained in the Palace alone for an additional 4 hours as there is so much to see. The harem tour was included in the description but we had to do it alone. Have done loads of yours with Viator, all great so was really surprised and disappointed with this kne
Dear Guest, thank you for your feedback and we're glad the hour you spent with our guide was excellent! We'd like to clarify that this tour covers Hagia Sophia, not Topkapi Palace, so the Harem would not be part of our itinerary. It's possible there may have been a mix-up with another booking. We hope this helps clear things up! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team

We'll pass on your feedback to him. Hope to see you back soon! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
Batuhan was an amazing guide! He took his time to explain every exhibition and answered our queries. He was warm and friendly.
Dear Guest, it's always wonderful to hear when a guide truly makes the difference! 😊 Batuhan's warmth and patience in walking you through every exhibition is something we're very proud of. We'll make sure he knows how much you appreciated him. Hope to see you back soon! Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team
