Enjoy this 4 hours tour with visits to the highlights of the old city. Firstly visit the magnificent Byzantine church of St Sophia. After here continue to Hippodrome, the former centre of sporting and political activities in Constantinople and the Blue Mosque, amazing blue tiles from 16th century. Final visit of the morning is to the Grand Bazaar.

Ali our tour guide was great! Friendly and knowledgeable. The day of our tour was busy due to cruiseship tour groups so we went over time by 30min with lots of time waiting in lines but as we had a nice small group of 6 the time in the lines went quickly. The tour company was on time for the hotel pick up and the bottles of water provided were a nice touch. Lots of walking and standing, which was expected. Ali tailored some of the sight visits to suit how much time we spent in certain place, which was appreciated.

This was by far the highlight of our time in Istanbul. Our tour guide, Bouquet, was absolutely lovely. She was knowledgeable about each site and gave us insight into Turkey and Istanbul as a whole. She gave us ample time to explore on our own, but also showed us quality secret spots and the best places to get a taste of the culture.

Our guide Ali was very knowledgeable & a personable fellow. An old couple who was with us got lost, he called the travel agency got their phone number and found them! He knew almost everybody in the Grand Bazar, great fellow.

Flexibility when the guide realized the market was closed and we needed to change our itinerary. He provided us with other options we could choose.
