Guided tours

Two continents, fifteen centuries, and traffic to match.

Istanbul’s sights are spread across both shores, and the city takes some planning to see well. A car with a driver takes care of the getting around: no waiting for taxis, and somewhere to leave your bags between stops.

A day might take in one neighbourhood slowly or several in a few hours. We’ll suggest ideas, and the day is shaped around you.

When you ask, tell us

  • The day, and how long you’d like
  • What you’d most like to see
  • Whether you’d like a guide, and in which language
  • How many of you are travelling

A city best seen neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

A few of the places a day could include. They’re starting points for a conversation, not fixed itineraries.

  • Hagia Sophia and its minarets beyond the fountain and gardens of Sultanahmet Square

    Sultanahmet

    The old city

    The historic heart of Istanbul: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the old Hippodrome, all within a short walk of one another.

  • Rows of lit columns in the Basilica Cistern, reflected in the still water below

    Basilica Cistern

    Beneath Sultanahmet

    A Byzantine reservoir below the streets, its marble columns standing in shallow water. Cool and quiet, even in high summer.

  • The domes and minarets of the Süleymaniye Mosque above the rooftops of the old city, ferries along the shore below

    Süleymaniye

    The third hill

    Sinan’s great mosque crowns one of the city’s seven hills, with wide views over the Golden Horn from its terraces.

  • Mosaic glass lamps and painted plates filling a shop in a covered bazaar

    The Grand Bazaar

    Beyazıt

    Covered streets of carpets, lamps, leather and gold. Good company if you’d like to know what you’re looking at.

  • A chauffeur beside a black saloon on a terrace, looking across the Golden Horn to Galata Tower at sunset

    Galata

    Across the Golden Horn · Illustrative image

    The medieval Galata Tower above steep streets of cafés, galleries and small shops, a short drive from the old city.

  • Painted houses with bay windows and climbing plants along a steep cobbled street

    Balat and Fener

    The Golden Horn

    Painted wooden houses, old churches and neighbourhood cafés. A part of the city best explored slowly, on foot.

  • Ortaköy Mosque on the waterfront at sunset, the Bosphorus Bridge behind

    The Bosphorus shore

    Ortaköy and beyond

    Ortaköy Mosque at the water’s edge beneath the first bridge, and the waterside villages further along the strait.

Good to know before you go.

Your guide
If you’d like a guide, tell us which language you’d prefer. We’ll confirm who is available for your date before anything is arranged.
Opening hours
Museums and palaces keep their own hours and closing days, and mosques close to visitors during prayer times. We plan the day around them with you.
Tickets
Some sights need tickets, and queues can be long in season. We’ll go through what applies to the places you choose.
What to wear
Mosques ask visitors to cover their shoulders and knees, and women to cover their hair. A light scarf in a bag is worth having. Comfortable shoes help on the hills.
