Overview

‍♂️ About Me
Hi! I’m Imran, a licensed professional tour guide with 7 years of experience in Istanbul. I’m energetic, easygoing, and love adding a touch of humor to every tour I lead.

️ What You’ll Experience
We’ll explore Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks — Sultanahmet Mosque (Blue Mosque), the Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace — all from the outside, while I share fascinating stories and hidden details you won’t find in guidebooks.

This is not just a historical walk; it's a panoramic journey filled with humor, energy, and engaging storytelling that brings the city’s spirit to life.

Why Join My Tour?
Because it’s not just a tour — it’s an experience. I’ve lived abroad, speak fluent English, and genuinely enjoy meeting people from around the world. With me, you’ll explore like a local and laugh like an old friend.

What To Expect

Hippodrome (Pass By)

Once the beating heart of Byzantine social life — imagine a stadium where 100,000 people gathered to cheer chariot races and witness imperial ceremonies. Today, we walk its echoes and uncover stories hidden beneath the stones.

Blue Mosque (Pass By)

An architectural gem blending grace and grandeur. With its six minarets and iconic blue tiles, the Blue Mosque isn’t just beautiful — it tells a story of faith, ambition, and artistic mastery.
Read more

Basilica Cistern (Pass By)

A mysterious underground world right beneath your feet. We’ll admire the entrance and talk about how this 6th-century water reservoir kept the city alive — and how Medusa ended up at the bottom!
Read more

Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque (Pass By)

A church, a mosque, a museum, and again a mosque — Hagia Sophia is a mirror of Istanbul’s soul. From outside, we’ll explore its epic transformations and its powerful symbolism across empires.

TopkapI Palace (Pass By)

This was no ordinary palace — it was the center of Ottoman power for over 400 years. From the outside, we’ll talk about sultans, secrets, and the centuries of drama that unfolded behind its walls.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
