När gästerna anländer till Hagia Sofia kommer de att upptäcka ett av de mest ikoniska och historiskt betydelsefulla monumenten i världen. Ursprungligen byggdes den 537 e.Kr. som katedral, men blev senare en moské och är nu en symbol för Istanbuls rika kulturarv.
kommer de att utforska ett av Istanbuls mest ikoniska landmärken och ett mästerverk av ottomansk arkitektur. Besökare kommer att kliva in i moskén för att beundra dess magnifika interiör, dekorerad med tusentals blå İznik kakel, eleganta kupoler och imponerande kalligrafi. De kommer att lära sig om moskéns historia, dess arkitektoniska betydelse och dess roll som en aktiv plats för dyrkan
När gästerna anländer till Basilica Cistern, kommer de att utforska en av Istanbuls mest fascinerande underjordiska strukturer, med anor från 500-talet under kejsar Justinianus regeringstid.
När gästerna anländer till Hippodromen, kommer de att kliva in i det livliga historiska torget som en gång var centrum för gamla Konstantinopel. Området användes ursprungligen för vagnstävlingar, offentliga ceremonier och sammankomster, vilket gör det till en viktig social och politisk knutpunkt i det bysantinska riket. Besökare kommer att utforska torget och beundra betydande monument som återspeglar både bysantinska och ottomanska arv, inklusive den Tyska fontänen, Serpentinkolonnen och den egyptiska obelisken. Gästerna kommer att lära sig om Hippodromens fascinerande historia, dess roll i stadens förflutna och berättelserna bakom dess ikoniska monument.
Grand Bazaar När gästerna anländer till Grand Bazaar kommer de in i en av världens äldsta och största täckta marknader, fylld med färgglada butiker, vindlande gränder och en livlig atmosfär. Besökare kan utforska de livliga stånden som säljer textilier, smycken, keramik, kryddor och souvenirer, och uppleva charmen i traditionell turkisk handel. Turen inkluderar också ett besök på takterrassen, där du kan koppla av och njuta av en gratis kopp te eller kaffe medan du njuter av panoramautsikten över Istanbuls historiska skyline. Gästerna kommer att ha möjlighet att smaka gratis turkisk fröjd (lokum) och uppleva lokala smaker som en del av denna uppslukande kulturella upplevelse. Det kommer också att finnas tid att bläddra, ta bilder och njuta av den livliga marknaden i lugn takt, vilket gör det till en minnesvärd avslutning på Old City Tour.
Vid Süleymaniyemoskén kommer resenärer att utforska ett av Istanbuls mest magnifika ottomanska mästerverk designat av Mimar Sinan. Gästerna kommer att beundra dess fantastiska kupoler, eleganta innergård och hisnande utsikt över Gyllene hornet. Din Guide kommer att dela insikter i dess historia, arkitektur och kulturella betydelse, medan besökare upplever en lugn atmosfär inne i denna aktiva plats för dyrkan.

Baris was an exceptional private tour guide and truly made my Istanbul experience unforgettable. From the moment we started, he was incredibly accommodating, tailoring the tour to exactly what I wanted to see and experience. His knowledge of the city, its history, and hidden gems added so much depth to every stop. What stood out most was his warmth and genuine care—nothing ever felt rushed, and he went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying every moment. Thanks to Baris, Istanbul wasn’t just a destination, it became a memory I’ll always treasure. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalised and meaningful experience
Baris was amazing! He was kind and courteous in accommodating our hectic group of 8 which consisted of both kids and my elderly father in a wheelchair during a very hot day. We got to see all the sites we wanted to in an efficient manner. He was unbelievably knowledgeable and informative. Looking forward to touring more sites when we return!
Baris was an excellent guide. Very helpful and very informative. He took time to figure out my interests, and adapt the tour to fit me. Answered many questions, and did it all with a great spirit. Grateful to have gotten to know him and learn about this great city!
Dear John , Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I hope to see you again on another experience in the future! Best regards
Bariş was very nice and knowledgeable and showed us the sights. It’s definitely easier to do with a guide to navigate the sights and the lines! In addition to the major sights (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern) he took us to a nice terrace overlooking the rooftops of the bazaar and to another market where he introduced us to a merchant he is friends with who sold us some Turkish delight and tea.
Dear Tom , Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I hope to see you again on another experience in the future! Best Regards Baris
Highly recommend this experience in Istanbul. This private guided tour was everything we wished for and more. Our tour guide Bariş was very kind, knowledgeable, and patient with creating the best itinerary to meet what we wanted to see. Bariş was on time, and definitely made the time we spent on the tour well worth it. We enjoyed seeing Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Central Bazaar, and many other places along the way. We couldn’t have done all this by ourselves, the tour was the best option to be able to see all these places. We highly recommend anyone who wants a private guided tour to use Bariş to be your guide!

Even though our time was limited, Baris did an amazing job of showing me the most awesome sights of old Istanbul. He totally tailored the tour to my specific interest in the early Ottoman history. He is a fountain of knowledge both in history and architecture. What's more, he is a virtuoso of bypassing long lines and gaining easy access to crowded venues. Greatly recommend this talented and thoughtful guide.

As a first time visitor to Istanbul, this was the perfect tour! The tour covers all the must see sites - The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Spice Markets etc. I learnt so much during this tour thanks to Bariş detailed knowledge of Istanbul and all the sites we visited. Bariş was very friendly and easy to talk to which made the tour even more enjoyable - an added bonus was that he was a great photograher. Before the tour ended Bariş kindly gave us recommendations for restaurants, shopping and other sites around the city. I would highly recommend this tour with Bariş to anyone who is visiting Istanbul. You will not be disappointed!
