A Full-Day Classical City Tour
This tour includes the very basic highlights of the city, as Hippodrome Square, The Blue Mosque, The Hagia Sophia Church, The Underground Cistern, a Lunch Break and afterwards the imperial Topkapi Palace and finally the Grand Bazaar. The tour usually starts at 9 a.m and finishes at 4-5 p.m. Organized tours are accompanied by a professional tour guide and a van depending on the location of the hotel. The Underground Cistern may be replaced by the Suleiman’s Mosque in some itineraries. If you have a limited time in Istanbul, this tour is definately for you. Local Guides in Hagia Sophia or Topkapi Palace are also available. Among the guidebooks, “The Blue Guide Istanbul” or “Strolling Through Istanbul” by John Freely is strongly recommended. These books give a general framework as well as practical information.Another tip is, this tour can be done by walking if you are not staying in a very far hotel. Even if your hotel is far from the historical sites, once you take a taxi and get to the historical sites, everywhere is at walking distance except for the Suleiman’s Mosque.
