Description

Weave between sights in Istanbul's oldest district as you scope out landmarks around Sultanahmet. Admire the grand dome and stunning mosaics of the Hagia Sophia, examine the ornate tile work inside the Blue Mosque, imagine chariot races in the Hippodrome, and wander through the Grand Bazaar.

Enjoy convenient pickup directly in front of your hotel and ride through busy streets that weave towards the Sultanahmet district. Learn about Byzantine-era architecture at the Hagia Sophia, explore the basilica's immersive museum exhibits with your experienced guide, and then continue on to the Blue Mosque.

Snap photos of this church-turned-mosque-turned-museum's towering minarets and check out the cerulean shades of handmade Iznik tiles which give the mosque its name. Hear stories about Constantinople's sporting past at the Hippodrome, browse for souvenirs at the Grand Bazaar, and get the chance to watch skilled artisans craft colorful rugs before you end your tour and catch a ride back to your hotel.

Si bien contratamos guia en español, el grupo mayoritariamente hablaba inglés y la explicaciones eran más especificas y detalladas en ese idioma. Una experiencia buena pero no excelente.
