Our guide (Yunus) did a fantastic job. He was very knowledgeable of every site we visited and exceeded expectations by giving us additional places to visit and helping out with our 1 year old. The company as a whole also did a great and wonderful job of accommodating our travel needs.
If you’re looking to experience the heart of Istanbul, Istanbul Old City Tour is the perfect choice. It takes you to iconic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Topkapi Palace. The tour lets you walk through centuries of culture in just one day. It’s ideal for anyone wanting to connect with the essence of Istanbul, whether it’s your first visit or you’re a history lover.
When visiting Istanbul, it’s important to dress modestly at mosques. Women should cover their heads with a scarf, and both men and women should avoid wearing shorts or sleeveless clothing. Comfortable shoes are essential as you’ll be walking a lot.
Credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s a good idea to carry some cash for smaller purchases.
Public transportation is convenient, with trams, buses and ferries easily accessible. You can purchase Istanbulkart, a prepaid card for easy travel on public transport.
The Golden Horn is a natural harbor on the European side of the city, historically used as a docking area for ships. It’s surrounded by historical landmarks and old neighborhoods.
The Bosphorus is a large strait that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, dividing Istanbul into Europe and Asia. It’s a busy waterway used for international shipping, lined with historic palaces and forts.
While the Golden Horn is smaller and more tranquil, the Bosphorus is a major waterway that plays a key role in both the city’s history and modern-day activity.
