Overview

This 4-hour walking tour in Istanbul covers four key historical sites suited for first-time visitors. It begins at the Blue Mosque, known for its six minarets and detailed blue tilework. Next, the tour moves to the Hagia Sophia, a large Byzantine basilica dating back to the 6th century, recognized as a significant architectural landmark. Afterward, the group visits the Hippodrome, which was once the main center for sports and political events in Constantinople, where visitors can see the Egyptian Obelisk, the Serpentine Column from Delphi, and the Wilhelm II fountain. The final stop is the Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s oldest covered markets, offering a variety of handmade carpets, jewelry, leather goods, and souvenirs. Note that the inner sections of the Grand Bazaar are closed on Sundays. The tour includes hotel pickup and a licensed professional guide, with skip-the-line ticket access, but entrance fees and hotel drop-off are not included. Transportation is only used for pickup; the rest is on foot.
