Day 1: Private Byzantine and Ottoman Heritage Tour with Professional Guide

This is a full-day walking city tour starting from your hotel.

The guide will explain the history and significance of the monuments in detail. Having a private tour guide can be beneficial, as you will not need to wait in long queues at major museums. With your guide, you will proceed quickly, saving time and avoiding the crowds that are often found in regular tours. Additionally, you will not have to wait for other people in your group, as is common with larger group tours.

During the tour, you will visit Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and Obelisks, Topkapı Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. You will have a lunch break at a time that suits you, and your guide will also give you free time at the Grand Bazaar and local outlets for shopping. They can assist with bargaining, which is common in Turkish culture. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel. You will gain a deeper understanding of "Sultanahmet Old City," the historic center of both the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. The grandeur of these sites will surely leave a lasting impression.
