About this experience
Moving between old districts on bright trams, you will feel like a local resident. We will gather all the iconic sights of Istanbul: see the Hagia Sophia Cathedral and the Blue Mosque, take a walk in the Old City and bustling Istiklal Street, and also enjoy the picturesque panorama of the Bosphorus Strait.
What to expect
Kaleidoscope of monuments
However dizzying the day may be! Ancient mosques and legendary hammams, authentic neighborhoods and fashionable avenues - Istanbul will surprise you with a symbiosis of past and present. You will see the main monuments of the city and also explore less known corners: walk along the unusual "French street" with history, visit the amazing Orient Express Station and find the only Karaim Synagogue!
Intercultural dialogue
In what language does Istanbul speak? Turkish, Arabic, Armenian, Greek, Russian, and more! You will see this during a walk through the most atmospheric areas. We will take a ferry to the "Asian continent" and explore Peru, surrounded by the waters of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn bay. I will tell interesting facts from the lives of Turkish sultans, reveal how the city's architecture has changed, and lead you to the most delicious bakeries and coffee shops.
