Overview

Firstly, let’s meet up close by to the Blue Mosque and we will start this exclusive private tour. There is so much to learn that your private tour guide will take you to amazing locations here!

The first stop is the Blue Mosque, named for the tiles of this color that are inside.

There are more than 50 different tile designs. The most varied colours, and all were made by hand in Iznik, under the direction of master potter Kaşıcı Hasan.

It was built between 1609 and 1617 by the Ottoman architect Mehmet Aga, disciple of Mimar Sinan. Mimar Sinan used the imperial mosques that his master had built as a base. The Suleymaniye of Istanbul and the Selimiye of Edirne are the highlights of Sinan’s art. Make plans for the mosque that was to be built in front of Hagia Sophia.

These two sites are completely unique and a true must when visiting Istanbul.

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.
