Highlights of Istanbul itinerary completely and efficiently immerses you into Sultanahmet by visiting the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar and Topkapı Palace in a single day.
Tour Highlights:
We meet at the cafe just opposite the Suleymaniye Mosque, which stands in contrast against the modern buildings of Istanbul. This is Mimar Sinan’s Suleymaniye Mosque, built in classical Ottoman style, and it’s still evocative of the power and splendour of the past.
Enjoy a comprehensive two-hour guided tour of Suleymaniye Mosque and its complimentary buildings with a professional guide. Afterwards, enjoy breathtaking views over Istanbul from the courtyard and get tips and hints for a gentle stroll around the neighbourhood.
End the tour with a cup of Turkish tea and talk about Suleyman the Magnificent and the royal Ottoman family’s life in the 16th century.
Every day except Fridays:
Tour is scheduled to run outside the prayer hours, but this is a functioning mosque and there may be events out of our control (like funerals).
