Overview

This tour is unique because it offers a blend of Byzantine, Ottoman, and modern Turkish history, all set against the stunning backdrop of Istanbul’s Bosphorus Strait, where two continents meet. Here’s what sets it apart:

Historical Depth – You’ll explore iconic sites from different eras, including the Hippodrome (Roman/Byzantine), Hagia Sophia (Byzantine/Ottoman), Blue Mosque (Ottoman), and the Basilica Cistern (Byzantine engineering marvel). Few tours offer such a seamless journey through time.

Bosphorus Experience – Ending (or beginning) with a Bosphorus cruise allows you to see Istanbul’s unique geography, palaces, and waterfront mansions from a completely different perspective. The sight of the city’s skyline merging East and West is unforgettable.

This tour is more than just sightseeing—it’s a journey through centuries, civilizations, and cultures, all in one unforgettable city!
