Reisroute
Ontdek de betoverende charme van Sultanahmet, het historische hart van Istanbul. Dompel jezelf onder in de rijke geschiedenis, cultuur en architectonische wonderen die deze levendige wijk kenmerken. Verken het iconische Sultanahmet-plein, omringd door architectonische wonderen zoals de ontzagwekkende Hagia Sophia, de majestueuze Blauwe Moskee en het oude Romeinse Hippodroom. Dwaal door de smalle geplaveide straatjes, omzoomd met charmante cafés, ambachtelijke winkels en lokale bazaars. Geniet van de smaken van de Turkse keuken en geniet van de warme gastvrijheid van de lokale bevolking. Dompel jezelf onder in de betoverende ambiance van Sultanahmet, waar oud en modern naadloos samenvloeien om een onvergetelijke ervaring te creëren.
Sultanahmet Camii, ook wel bekend als de Blauwe Moskee, is een van de meest magnifieke gebouwen in Turkije. Het gebouw is niet alleen een moskee, het is ook een sociaal wooncomplex. De naam komt van het met blauwe Iznik-tegels bedekte interieur van de moskee.
Hagia Sophia is het beroemdste gebouw in Istanbul. Hagia Sophia, de grootste kerk gebouwd door het Oost-Romeinse rijk in Istanbul, werd drie keer op dezelfde plaats gebouwd. Hagia Sophia diende als een kathedraal als de grootste kerk van de hoofdstad waar heersers werden gekroond in het hele Oost-Romeinse rijk.
Na de verovering van Istanboel in 1453 werd de bouw van het Topkapipaleis, dat in 1460 op verzoek van Fatih Sultan Mehmet werd gestart, in 1478 voltooid. Het Topkapı Paleis, met al zijn extra gebouwen, werd uitgebreid met de toegevoegde structuren tot de 19e eeuw. GESLOTEN OP DINSDAG.
De Grote Bazaar, die in 1461 werd gesticht, lijkt dankzij zijn esthetische ontwerp op een labyrint op gigantische schaal. Het historische winkelgebied met bijna 60 straten en meer dan 3600 winkels beslaat een totale oppervlakte van 30.700 vierkante meter. Gesloten op zondag.
Je zult 4 verbazingwekkende monumenten zien in het oude Hippodrome, dat het centrum was van het Byzantijnse burgerleven; Egyptische Obelisk, de Duitse fontein van Wilhelm II, Serpentine Column en Column of Constantine.
De Basilica Cisterne, een oud ondergronds waterreservoir in Istanbul, heeft prachtige zuilen en een mysterieuze sfeer, die de rijke geschiedenis en architecturale pracht van de stad weerspiegelt. Een wonder dat je moet bezoeken.

This tour was easily one of the highlights of our time in Istanbul. Everything was well organized from the start, and having our guide meet us at our hotel made the experience even more convenient. We explored the city's most famous historical landmarks on foot, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Hippodrome, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared the history behind each site in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. The itinerary was well paced, with enough time at each stop without ever feeling rushed. One thing to keep in mind is that entrance fees are not included in the tour price. During our visit, Topkapi Palace was 2,750 TL (around $60 USD), the Basilica Cistern was 2,250 TL (around $49 USD), and the skip-the-line ticket for Hagia Sophia was €30. We also spent roughly 500–1,000 TL per person for lunch, depending on the restaurant. Overall, this was an outstanding experience and a great way to discover Istanbul's rich history with an excellent guide. We would happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city and wouldn't hesitate to book it again on a future trip.

Really great experience. The guide was contracted out so I don’t know how often he is booked with this company. But he was born in Istanbul and knows his history, religion, and cultural. He took me to all the good spots in Sultanahmet area and gave good food recommendations. He was aleo very personable and was happy to explore any topics that may have interested me. Very good experience. Only complaint isn’t because of this tour but tickets for many attraction were very expensive.
