Konstantinopels murar och bysantinska reliker

This was a small group - only five total people. The walls of Constantinople don’t appear to be atop destination when visiting Istanbul. That said, if you like history then this is a great tour. It brings history to life. The views from the top of the walls are spectacular. Our guide picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, was able to converse about the history and when we all looked parched he spontaneously took us for fresh lemonade at a charming local place in a residential neighborhood. Worth the time and money.

It was a great tour that took into account our interests. Emre was helpful, friendly, and very informative.

The walls are fantastic as an important part of history and you see many aspects of them. However we had a very disturbing event happened. When we were at the museum, another guide came up and said our guide was not an actual guide and was there illegally with us. This other guide told us he had called the police and that our lives were in danger. The two men argued and we did not know what to do. We never felt in danger with him so we decided to stay with him. The same guide argued with him again at the exit and followed us to the van and took pictures of the van plate. It was all very disturbing and shook our confidence in Viator. It ruined the day for us. I hope this can be straightened out so others do not have the same occurrence.

Have hiking shoes and camera to take pictures. There a 3 sites, and 2 require going up steps which maybe uneven so be careful. Much more content and history than I expected.

Emre was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history of the walls from Roman through Ottoman times. He was great at communicating and very flexible. I couldn’t leave without seeing the famous Walls of Old Constantinople and I wasn’t disappointed.

The tour was lackluster. The information was basic. The guide was nice but had little to work with what we saw.

I had the pleasure of being guided by an exceptionally knowledgeable and articulate expert who answered all my questions thoroughly and insightfully. If you're captivated by the history of Constantinople—its mighty walls and the remarkable story of how Mehmed II’s army breached the Theodosian defenses—this tour is an absolute must. You’ll gain a clear orientation of the old city and enjoy an immersive walk through key historical sites, including the Yedikule Fortress and its Golden Gate, Belgrad Kapı, and the Blachernae Palace. Led by a passionate local, this experience will transform the way you see the city, offering a rich and informed perspective. For history enthusiasts, this tour is unmissable—skipping it would be a real loss.

We had a very nice time. It was comfortable and our guide was very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond

Excellent guide, very informative and friendly. I have wanted to tour the walls for years, and he gave me exactly the experience that I had hoped for.
