Istanbul Old City Walk

Full day (8 hours) Up to 12 people Istanbul

Istanbul is a city where every street corner tells a story. This full day walking tour takes you through the beating heart of the old city, covering the most iconic landmarks and plenty of hidden spots that most tourists walk right past.

Your guide is a local historian who has lived in Istanbul their entire life. They will walk you through the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace before leading you into the maze of the Grand Bazaar where you can shop for spices, ceramics, and handmade textiles.

The tour also includes a traditional Turkish lunch at a family-run restaurant in Sultanahmet that has been serving locals for over 40 years. This is not a tourist trap lunch, this is where the guides eat on their days off.
