Construite au VIe siècle après J.-C. par l'empereur byzantin Justinien Ier, cette célèbre mosquée était à l'origine une cathédrale chrétienne orthodoxe située au début de Constantinople (aujourd'hui Istanbul). Depuis près de 1 500 ans, ce monument emblématique a été utilisé comme église catholique, mosquée et musée.

La mosquée s'appelait à l'origine la mosquée Sultan Ahmed, d'après le sultan Ahmed I qui l'a construite. Au début des années 1600, les mosquées n'étaient construites que par des sultans qui avaient réussi à la guerre. Bien qu'il n'ait aucune réalisation colorée à son nom et contre l'avis de ses conseillers, le sultan Ahmed a construit ce grand édifice qui constituerait son héritage le plus durable. Aujourd'hui, elle est surnommée la mosquée bleue en raison de la teinte bleue provenant des carreaux bleus disposés en motifs géométriques et motifs floraux dans la mosquée. Remarque : "La Mosquée Bleue sera fermée pour rénovation à partir du 1er janvier 2023. À la place, vous pourrez visiter une autre mosquée emblématique d'Istanbul : Yeni Cami (la nouvelle mosquée)"
Située sur la troisième colline d'Istanbul, la Suleymaniye a été connue comme la plus grande mosquée de la ville pendant plus de 450 ans avant d'être détrônée de son titre en 2019. Outre sa taille époustouflante, cette mosquée a également été conçue par le célèbre architecte Mimar. Sinan, l'une des figures les plus remarquables de l'histoire architecturale d'Istanbul.

I really can't recommend this tour enough - especially with Bariş as a guide! This was my second visit to İstanbul and I wanted to revisit some of my favorite sites - Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Süleymaniye Mosque. Therefore, I was delighted to find this tour that covers all three, as most skip Süleymaniye (which is an absolute shame, imho). Luckily, my tour guide that day turned out to be Bariş who was not only super friendly and fun to wander the streets with, but also a fantastic guide with such a great wealth of knowledge - I can't believe I still learnt this much during my second guided visit to these amazing must-see places! Not only did Bariş give me a comprehensive tour of all three sites (I was extremely lucky to have him all for myself that day) with ample time for questions and pictures, he also took the time to stroll through a lovely small bazar (optional, but it was really nice and hassle-free, not the usual tourist trap), have a relaxed Turkish tea and give explanations on so many other notable locations along the way. In addition, he shared with me some great recommendations for additional places to visit in Istanbul that I might have missed without him. After finishing the official tour, we even had another relaxed coffee with another group after and Bariş read our fortunes from the coffee grounds, which was an exciting conclusion to a perfect half-day experience.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with us.

Very glad we got to see these unique historic places. Our guide Ebru was informative and helpful. We changed the itinerary midway through the tour to allow seeing the Basilica Cistern rather than the third mosque originally planned. Ebru also recommended a nice place for dining that evening.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring those unique historic places with Ebru. It’s great to hear she was informative and helpful, and flexible with switching to the Basilica Cistern. We’ll pass along your kind words — and we’re glad her dinner recommendation hit the spot! Hope to see you again soon!
We chose the tour of the mosques, 4 hours practically flown with our guide Dafne Ozlem Ozduran, very good and very prepared. We immediately found ourselves in tune. Dafne speaks great Italian and it was really a pleasure to visit mosques and more. A big hug to Daphne, Oriana and Hebe.

Beautiful visit to the most iconic and historic mosques in Istanbul! Sites full of importance and our guide, Ferhat, told in detail all the events, additional spots and description of the characters involved in the stories of these places. A kingpin! It made us get into the stories! Greetings from Argentina, Martin and Alexandra.

Today we enjoyed one of the best tours we have ever done. Our guide, Çınar, was exceptional: friendly, helpful, always attentive to every detail and our needs. His explanations were clear, interesting and very enriching, not only about the palaces and mosques, but also about the history and culture of Istanbul. He gave us invaluable tips to make the most of our stay in the city. The organization was impeccable and the food, simply delicious. We feel cared for at all times. I recommend this tour without any doubt: not only for the places visited, but for the human and professional quality of Çınar. A guide to ten!

Our guide was very prepared, patient (as my father walks very slowly so we had to slow down several times) and very fluent in italian. We really appreciated the tour.
