About this experience
Istanbul is beautiful at any time, but it transforms at sunset: the evening lights create a magical atmosphere. With fewer people and cars on the streets, it's the perfect opportunity to take a motorcycle ride and see the main sights without crowds of tourists. Ahead lies the Old City, the architecture of the capital of three empires, the Bosphorus Strait, the Asian side, and a hilltop viewpoint - let's go!
What to expect
Moto-walking tour of Istanbul
I will pick you up from a convenient location, provide a helmet, and give instructions. I will drive the motorcycle, all you have to do is hold on and enjoy the city around you. We will rush at key points to soak up the atmosphere and get a better look at the architecture. Throughout the tour, I will share interesting facts from Istanbul's history with you.
🕌 Old City - our first stop. We will walk through its narrow streets, visit the Hagia Sophia Cathedral, the Blue Mosque, and Hippodrome Square. We will explore the symbols of the capital of three empires, and I will tell you why Constantine the Great moved the capital here from Rome.
🌉 Next is Ortakoy district. Here you will find a cozy waterfront with a view of the Bosphorus Bridge and a mosque in the Ottoman baroque style. We will stop for photos and tea.
🌃 Heading to the Asian part of Istanbul across the Bosphorus Bridge. You will appreciate the illumination of the bridge, enjoy views of the Bosphorus Strait and the Sultan's palaces. And then we will climb (by motorcycle, of course) to the highest point of the city - Camlica Hill. From there, you will enjoy a breathtaking panorama of nighttime Istanbul.
🎉 Kadikoy - our last stop on the route. It is the oldest district of the Asian part of the city. The nightlife here is bustling: there are plenty of entertainment venues where locals like to go. You will see this when you come across a street full of bars, creating an atmosphere of endless celebration.
Filled with impressions, we will return to the European part of Istanbul (if your hotel is located there) by ferry. After that, I will take you back to your accommodation.
