Overview

Experience a slice of Istanbul in just two hours, immersing yourself in the city’s vibrant history, from Byzantine to Ottoman times, while also savoring local flavors offered to you (yes, it is free), through various miniatures depicted in old Ottoman manuscripts.

Step into the enchanting world of Istanbul's old city with our captivating tour, where history whispers through ancient stones, and every corner reveals a tale waiting to be heard. Imagine a journey that goes beyond the ordinary, a mosaic of wonders that unfolds in the heart of Sultanahmet.

As your guide, I'll lead you through the iconic Hagia Sophia, where centuries of stories are etched into its magnificent walls. Feel the famous hippodrome of Constantinople, where the Byzantines once watched the chariot races, and then let the aromatic Egyptian Bazaar tease your senses.
