Step by Step

Explore Istanbul with your companion on this private tour. This is an activity that lasts around seven hours in which you can plot your own itinerary through this magical city, which unites Europe with Asia. You can do this tour on foot with a local guide or in a private van, if you choose that option.

At the time of booking, you will be the one who chooses the different points you want to visit in this Turkish city. Please note that you have the option of doing this tour for 1, 2 or 3 days. From there, a route will be mapped out with your guide and each of the places you pass through will be explained to you so that you don't miss any of the details.

Some of the main attractions in Istanbul that you can visit are:

  • Hagia Sophia Mosque: this is the symbol of Istanbul. It was built under Justinian between 532 and 537 and is one of the masterpieces of Byzantine art. It was a museum until it was converted into a mosque in 2020.
  • Blue Mosque: one of the great emblems of Istanbul. It was built between 1609 and 1617, under the orders of Ahmed I. It was built on the occasion of the Peace of Zsitvatorok.
  • Topkapi Palace: This was the private area of the Sultan and his sons and was therefore off-limits to all other men except the black eunuchs who guarded the palace. Women, on the other hand, had no problem entering. But once inside, there was no way out.
  • Grand Bazaar: undoubtedly one of the places that every tourist visits to buy anything they want. It is characteristic for the myriad of colours you will find, as well as the smells and smells.
  • Taksim Square: one of the liveliest areas of Istanbul and the perfect place to take your free time, where you can have lunch or a snack, which is not included in the reservation.

Please note that entrance fees to the attractions are not included with this booking.
