Le palais de Topkapi a été la résidence principale des sultans ottomans pendant environ 400 ans (1465-1856) de leur règne de 624 ans. En plus d'être une résidence royale, le palais était un cadre pour les occasions d'État et les divertissements royaux. C'est maintenant une attraction touristique majeure et contient d'importantes reliques sacrées du monde musulman, y compris le manteau et l'épée de Muhammed.
La mosquée Sultan Ahmed est une mosquée historique d'Istanbul. La mosquée est populairement connue sous le nom de mosquée bleue pour les tuiles bleues qui ornent les murs de son intérieur. Elle a été construite de 1609 à 1616 sous le règne d'Ahmed I. Comme beaucoup d'autres mosquées, elle contient également le tombeau du fondateur, une médersa et un hospice. Bien qu'elle soit encore utilisée comme mosquée, la mosquée Sultan Ahmed est également devenue une attraction touristique populaire.
Sainte-Sophie est une ancienne basilique patriarcale orthodoxe, plus tard une mosquée, puis un musée, et encore une fois une mosquée à Istanbul. De la date de sa consécration en 360 jusqu'en 1453, elle a servi de cathédrale orthodoxe orientale et de siège du patriarcat de Constantinople.
La Citerne Basilique est la plus grande de plusieurs centaines de citernes anciennes qui se trouvent sous la ville d'Istanbul. La citerne est située à 150 mètres au sud-ouest de Sainte-Sophie. Il a été construit au 6ème siècle sous le règne de l'empereur byzantin Justinien Ier.
L'hippodrome était un cirque romain et était le site de courses de chars et de chevaux, ainsi qu'un important centre sportif et social à Constantinople.

Nese was the best. Distilled the history of key places to their core... Volumes of potential reading. She is easy to get along with and seems as if we had a friend just chatting about the place and its wonders. Will definitely call her again in our next trip here.
Hi Dominic, thank you so much for the very nice review. I had a lot of fun showing you guys around. You were so easy going and fun to be with. Look forward to seeing you in Istanbul again someday. All the best, Nese.
This tour was so much more than we hoped for. Nese is the most wonderful person and such an informative tour guide. She became a friend to us all in a short time ensuring there was something for each of us to appreciate and enjoy at every place we visited. The history of Istanbul is so immense and Nese was able to describe the salient points at each site and weave them together into a concise narrative for us. She ensured we were comfortable and understood all the required cultural protocols at mosques. Gave us choices and recommendations and helped us shop at the grand Bazaar. She has a large network so we were welcomed everywhere we visited and able to skip the queues as we were with her. A very memorable day and woman.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I had a great time showing you guys around and I'm really happy you enjoyed it. All the best, Nese.
We had an unforgettable time on our tour with Nese. There is a lot to see and we are glad that our guide accommodated us so it wasn’t overwhelming. It was good to hear about the history of the city from such a passionate and informed perspective. Always nice to have a local’s insight. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone, it was small-scale, engaging, and there were things for every one of us to enjoy.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was a lot of fun meeting you guys and showing you around. So glad you enjoyed it. All the best, Nese.
Thoroughly enjoyed spending our day with Nese learning about the colorful history of Istanbul! I highly recommend her tours.
Thank you so much, I had a great time guiding you guys around Istanbul. It was fun. See you again sometime when you come back to Istanbul.
Nese and her your company was amazing! Very knowledgeable and kind. Went over and beyond to share the beautiful city and culture of Istanbul! Highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much you were wonderful to guide. Hope to see you again if you ever come back to Istanbul.
Has been excellent, visits full of charme and informations, I strongly recommend it. All my family has appreciated it, including my teenager kids.
Thank you very much for the nice review. I had a wonderful time guiding you guys, I really enjoyed your company. You are a wonderful family with fantastic kids. Look forward to seeing you again some time.
Just back after a three-day visit to Istanbul (Nov. 2023), and we are overwhelmed, fascinated and very thankful for all the wonderful things our hosts had planned for us – one of them was a one-day guided tour with Nese. Nese came to pick us up at our hotel in the Pera district around 10 in the morning, and when we returned in the afternoon around 16, we had visited the Bacilica Cisterns, Hagia Sofia and the Grand Bazar as well as numerous carpet and textile shops specializing in Suzani embroidery (after my wish). On top of that, we had a great lunch in a very local Turkish restaurant and a coffee break at a terrasse overlooking the city with stunning views. Istanbul is a hectic and vibrant city, but Nese managed to show us all this at a pleasant and easy pace without any stress. She is indeed an expert in transportation, and along the way she provided us with comprehensive facts and historical information, supplemented by many funny anecdotes. Not only is Nese extremely knowledgeable. She is also warm, kind and an engaging and dynamic communicator – last but not least, Nese is very good company. We had such a great day with Nese and feel we have made a very good friend in Istanbul.
Thank you so much for the wonderful message. You guys were fantastic guests and I had a very fun time showing you around Istanbul. All the best, hope to see you back in Istanbul soon.
After we finish the 13 days tour around Greece, we have one day layover in Istanbul, book one day hotel stay right in the middle of old city and have Nese as our tour guide, she's more than a tour guide at the end of the night. we all became friends. she knows the city well and everywhere we go people greet her with respect and we talk about everything from what she like and unlike about Istanbul and also she has her son living in U.S. hope she'll visit us at the same time when she visit her son and family in California.
Thank you so much for the nice review. I had a great time with you guys, we had a lot of fun together. I hope you will come back to Istanbul some time in the future. All the best.
This was an amazing experience. Nese is knowledgeable, friendly, patient, helpful, and energized! She knows her way around the monuments, queues, people, restaurants, and shops. She will customize your adventure and will optimize time based on your likes and needs. Simply amazing. I couldn’t believe what we were able to accomplish that much in one day with her help! We even had plenty time among each visit to take pictures and to admire those so amazing monumental treasures!
Thank you so much for the nice review. I had a wonderful time with you guys. All the best.
Superb, tailor-made tour. Extremely knowledgeable guide who made the historical facts come to life. A taste of Istanbul, including points of interest we would have missed if touring independently. A fabulous way to see the highlights.
Thank you so much for the kind review. I really enjoyed the day also.
