Reisroute
Hagia Sophia-moskee - Keizer Justinianus bouwde deze in de zesde eeuw. Deze is erg belangrijk in zowel de christelijke als islamitische wereld. De klokken, het altaar en de offervaten werden verwijderd na de Ottomaanse verovering en veel mozaïeken werden bedekt om de kerk om te vormen tot een moskee.
Hippodrome - Waar wagenrennen werden gehouden in de tijd van het Romeinse Rijk, Egyptische Zuil uit het Byzantijnse Rijk. Tegenwoordig is de Duitse Fontein de hoeksteen van het plein.
Blauwe Moskee - Sultan Ahmet I van het Ottomaanse Rijk liet deze in het begin van de 17e eeuw bouwen. De Blauwe Moskee is een verbluffend prachtig architectonisch meesterwerk met opmerkelijk delicate verhoudingen voor een bouwwerk van deze omvang.
Basilica Cisterne is een ondergronds waterreservoir dat werd gebouwd tijdens de Byzantijnse tijd. Bezoekers kunnen wandelen over de slecht verlichte loopbruggen en de 336 kolommen bewonderen die het bouwwerk ondersteunen.
Grand Bazaar - Met meer dan 4.000 winkels is dit de grootste en oudste overdekte markt ter wereld. Er zijn keramiek, leer, tapijten, kleden, handwerk, kleding, zilver en gouden producten te vinden.
Topkapi Paleis - Meer dan alleen de keizerlijke residentie van de Ottomaanse sultans. Ongeveer 400 jaar lang diende het als de zetel van de Supreme Executive Council. Het Topkapi Paleis is een prachtig voorbeeld van oosterse architectuur die de majesteit van het Ottomaanse Rijk vastlegt.

We had an excellent experience with our tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the history and culture of every place we visited. He explained everything in an engaging way and was always happy to answer our questions. What really stood out was his flexibility. He was very accommodating, adjusted the itinerary to fit our needs, and adapted the plans smoothly as the day went on. Thanks to his organization and local knowledge, we were also able to skip many of the long ticket lines, which gave us more time to enjoy the attractions instead of waiting. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and informative guide who truly goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable.

A fantastic way to experience Istanbul. Having a local guide made the city come alive in a way that would have been impossible to replicate on our own. Nazan was warm, personable, and full of knowledge, providing valuable cultural context throughout the tour. It was incredibly helpful to have a guide navigate the major sites, and Nazan also took some great photos along the way. An authentic, enriching experience that I would highly recommend.

Our guide was a historical and cultural expert. His English was perfect and he flexed to our every need. He went out of his way to accommodate us and ensure a superb trip. He took us to local places and must see experiences. It was not about the money, but about making sure our visit was perfect. In truth, I have never had a guide like him anywhere in the world. If you are going to Istanbul and you decide to hire a guide, insist on Fatih by name. He is trustworthy, dependable, and a genuinely nice person. He will go at your speed and creates your own unique experience according to your interests.

Ugurcan was out tour guide and he was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge of the five attractions we went see was incredible. Little details that would not be captured on audio guides were well worth the cost. In addition when our five attractions were completed he brought us back to our hotel. We had been unsure how to get to Eskisehir and Ugurcans showed us how to navigate from our hotel using the tram and train Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great day Ronnie and Mary Ireland 🇮🇪

Best introduction to Istanbul - Day 1! Ayden was so knowledgeable as a born and raised local, and so helpful with language barrier! Excellent walking tour of Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, and Hippodrome. Picksd a great restaurant for lunch and pick-up snacks along the way, and help navigate purchases at the bazaar from reputable vendors! Highly recommend this full day private tour at a very fair price. Our family of 4 with 16yo twins all enjoyed!

Our guide met us promptly at 10 at our hotel. We were supposed to rendezvous elsewhere, which we were nervous about finding, so it was really nice that he changed it to meeting at our hotel. Turned out that this was a private tour, just hubby and I, and that was also a very nice surprise. Basically we covered everything in 4 hours including shopping at the Grand Bazaar. The Hiya Sophia is under construction so basically there was nothing to see so that cut time out of the tour. That’s not the guide’s fault however.

Our guide Oğuz came and met us at our hotel and took us by public transport into the city. He showed us everything on the list and substituted the spice market as the grand bazaar was shut. He took care to tell us a brief history of each site and ensured we were able to navigate around the city and home afterwards. I think this tour provided excellent value and if you only have one day to spend you will not be disappointed doing this tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Josh whom we thought is exceptional as a guide. He is knowledgeable, thorough, enthusiastic and interesting. His English skills are excellent and he was very personable. The visits to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia were amazing and he included the Cisterns as we were eager to visit them also. He took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch which was very good and reasonable. The Grand Bazaar was interesting. The tour was very busy but the time went quickly and Josh was very accommodating. He went above and beyond duty when he went back to the restaurant later to retrieve my friend’s lost glasses and dropped them at our hotel. Much appreciated! We would highly recommend Josh to anyone interested in a private tour. One suggestion would be that perhaps he could ask the group if they are interested in going to a place (i.e. carpet place) before going there. Overall, great day with Josh.
