Istanbul is a unique city, situated on two continents, and it has been the capital of three great empires for over two millennia - the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires.

Your private guide will meet you at the port, holding a sign with your name on it.

Our first stop is the Hippodrome Square, which dates back to Roman and Byzantine times and used to host chariot races and political riots. We will take a short walk to the stunning Blue Mosque, which is renowned for its beautiful blue Iznik tiles.

 

From there, we will continue to the magnificent Topkapi Palace, which was not only the home of Ottoman sultans but also served as the administrative and educational center of the state. Built between 1460 and 1478 by Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, this palace is a true marvel of architecture and design. During our visit, we will explore the palace and also take a closer look at the weapons section.

 

After a thorough tour of the famous Topkapi Palace, home to Ottoman Sultans during 4 centuries, we will make our way back to the port or where our services will come to an end.

 

Overall, this tour will provide you with a wonderful introduction to Istanbul's rich history and culture. Don't forget to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a camera to capture the memories!
