The tour was supposed to be 7-8 hours. It ended up being almost 10 hours. This tour is sold as a tour by bus/walking but The only time we used the bus was to pick up and drop off from the hotel. The tour guy was walking very fast and didn’t wait for travelers walking at a slowest pace. We also went around circles around Hagia Sophia. The tour started at the blue mosque and then Hagia Sophia, and at the end, we had to go back because some people went inside Hagia Sophia to pray. We didn’t know this. They also brought us to leather market and that wasn’t part of the itinerary.

Comprehensive and informative tour - great way to experience the key historic sites in Istanbul . The tour operator communicated well with us, despite some confusion with our pickup location . Offered options for free time to take photos and explore.

From the iconic Blue Mosque to the mysterious Basilica Cistern, each stop was more impressive than the last. The guide was fantastic, and the lunch at a local spot was delicious. A must-do for anyone visiting Istanbul!

We visited historic places like Hagia Sophia, the Hippodrome, and the Grand Bazaar. The guide made everything interesting and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own.
