Overview

Kick off your tour with a visit to the magnificent Blue Mosque, famed for its 20,000 hand-painted blue Iznik tiles and six graceful minarets. Following this, step into the Hippodrome, formerly the city's bustling social and sporting hub.

Next on your itinerary is Hagia Sophia, a 6th-century wonder constructed by Emperor Justinian as a Greek Orthodox church. Uncover the building's rich past as it transitioned from church to mosque and eventually into a museum.

Before reaching the Grand Bazaar, make a brief stop at a local shop selling authentic souvenirs and handcrafted goods. Then, hear intriguing insights about the colourful history of the Grand Bazaar and explore it at your leisure.

Following some free time for lunch, take a scenic drive along the Golden Horn. Ascend Pierre Loti Hill by bus for panoramic views of the Golden Horn, then descend by cable car, capturing picture-perfect images of Istanbul's skyline.

Pay a visit to Eyüp Sultan Mosque and the tomb of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. Discover how this sacred site became the ceremonial location for the coronation of Ottoman sultans, and sample traditional Turkish delights at a nearby shop.

Finally, you'll sail between Europe and Asia and admire the city's striking waterfront landmarks, including Topkapı Palace, Dolmabahçe Palace, Hagia Sophia, Maiden's Tower, Galata Tower, Blue Mosque and Ortaköy Mosque.
