Istanbul Tour - Half Day Morning

The Half-Day Istanbul Tour was a great experience! We visited the Roman Hippodrome, the Blue Mosque, and the German Fountain. Hagia Sophia was beautiful, and the Grand Bazaar was full of charm.

We had a wonderful morning on the Istanbul tour! The Roman Hippodrome and Blue Mosque were amazing, and the German Fountain was a lovely stop. Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar were perfect ways to end the tour.

The tour started at the Roman Hippodrome, then we moved on to the Blue Mosque. The German Fountain was an interesting stop, and Hagia Sophia was simply amazing. The tour ended at the Grand Bazaar with a crafts demonstration.

I really enjoyed the Istanbul Half-Day Morning Tour with Turkey Tours Planners! The day began at the Roman Hippodrome, where our guide shared stories about the ancient chariot races. The Blue Mosque was a breathtaking sight with its six minarets. We then visited the German Fountain, a special gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II, and learned about his travels to the Orient. The visit to Hagia Sophia was the highlight of the tour—it’s an awe-inspiring structure! We wrapped up the day at the Grand Bazaar with a fascinating demonstration of Turkish handicrafts.

The day began at the Roman Hippodrome, where we explored its history with the Romans and Byzantines. The Blue Mosque, with its impressive six minarets, was a sight to behold. We also stopped by the German Fountain, which was a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II, and heard interesting stories about his visits to the Orient. The visit to Hagia Sophia was incredible—it’s such an iconic structure! The tour ended with a visit to the Grand Bazaar, where we saw a demonstration of traditional Turkish handicrafts.

Tour started with a late pickup (20 min), then driver drove erratically/dangerously to make up time. Reached tour guide after 9.00am and found he was juggling two different tours full & half day. Tour finished at 11.05am when he went to escort full day tour to Hagia Sophia museum, were told he would be 45 minutes and we could wait or leave the tour there and then told the bazar was not worth viewing - our tour ended at the Hagia Sofia Mosque. We did not visit the Grand Bazar as per description. **2 stars for the tour guide who had to deal with unhappy members of our tour and despite this, gave a very good historical description of what we did see. ##The cost of AU$309.23 per person is outrageous for a 2-hour tour which was advertised as "4 to 5 hours (approx.)". Very disappointed and cannot recommend.

Beautiful and peaceful morning Istanbul is a different city with a different atmosphere and weather. Visiting the historical sites where the eternal artifacts for the whole world are still preserved today as they were on the first day and listening to the stories about them is an experience I would like to recommend to everyone. We send greetings to our friendly and helpful tour guide.

It was one of the most beautiful morning in my life. Since it was early in the morning, the places I visited seemed like a dream when I first saw them, but it didn't take long for me to realize that they were really extraordinary and I woke up. It was an impressive trip for us from the beginning to the end, and the comfortable and comfortable transportation was good for older people like us..

Amazing tour! Our guide Ceren is what made it so wonderful. Her English was perfect, but more importantly, her knowledge or history was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, she made this trip so amazing. Best tour ever.
