Istanbul Private Tours

About

Your private tour guide will meet you at Istanbul port or your hotel for the tour. Istanbul, a unique city spanning two continents, has been the capital of three significant empires - Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman - for over 2000 years. Our tour will commence at Hippodrome Square, once the venue for thrilling chariot races and Byzantine riots during the Roman and Byzantine eras. A short walk away, we will visit the renowned Hagia Sophia, an architectural marvel constructed in 532 AD by Roman Emperor Justinian I. Nearby, you will find the Blue Mosque, famous for its exquisite blue Iznik tiles. Continuing our exploration, we will proceed to Topkapi Palace, a grand residence of the Ottoman sultans and a center for administration and education. Built between 1460 and 1478 by Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, the palace will captivate you with its treasury, Chinese Porcelain collection, and weapons section. Afterward, we will venture to the Grand Bazaar, an iconic covered market that has stood since 1461. With its extensive network of 58 covered streets and over 1,200 shops, the bazaar offers a vibrant shopping experience, showcasing a variety of items including jewelry, pottery, spices, and carpets. Finally, we will conclude the tour with a drive back to the port, marking the end of our services.
