Overview

Immerse yourself in Istanbul's wonderful history and lively culture with this one day tour that takes you to some of the old city's most popular and iconic landmarks. The tour begins with a pick up at your hotel. Hop in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, and then head off for the first stop of the tour: the Roman Hippodrome, where chariot races occurred during the Roman and Byzantine eras. Check out the Blue Mosque, the only mosque with six minarets, known for the lovely blue colors of the iznik tiles used inside. Near the Blue Mosque is the German Fountain, built to commemorate Emperor Wilhelm II, and the majestic Hagia Sophia, a basilica made in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian. Your last stop for the tour is the Grand Bazaar, one of the largest and oldest covered markets worldwide! Comprised of over 61 streets and 4,000 different shops, this is the perfect stop to purchase memorable souvenirs to bring home to your family and friends.
