Description
Meet your professionally licensed local guide at the German Fountain in the heart of Sultanahmet and begin your journey through Istanbul’s historic Old City. Start with a brief introduction to Istanbul, its history, culture, and daily life before exploring the ancient Hippodrome and the magnificent Blue Mosque. Continue to Hagia Sophia, one of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks, and discover the fascinating layers of history surrounding it. Then leave the main tourist routes behind and walk through lesser-known streets and hidden corners of the Old City on your way to the Grand Bazaar. Along the route, visit at least one local handicraft workshop and see traditional craftsmanship up close. Finish at the legendary Grand Bazaar, where you can explore its colorful passages and unique atmosphere. This small group experience combines Istanbul’s must-see landmarks with local stories, hidden streets, traditional craftsmanship, and the perspective of a licensed local guide.
