Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and the Grand Bazaar — the historic peninsula of Sultanahmet in one full day with a Russian-speaking guide. The route is built to cover the essentials without queuing needlessly.
Languages: Russian, English, Turkish, German, Ukrainian
How it works
We start on Sultanahmet Square: the Blue Mosque (dress code applies, headscarves are handed out at the entrance) and Hagia Sophia, which face each other, then the Hippodrome with its Egyptian obelisk. After lunch with lokum and tea we dive into the Grand Bazaar — thousands of shops under 15th-century vaults. The guide is with you all day.

Reviews

In one day we covered all the main sights: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome, the Grand Bazaar. The guide led us so well that we hardly queued anywhere. A headscarf was handed out at the mosque entrance.

Istanbul is huge; without a guide we would have got lost. Everything was to the point, and the lokum with tea on the route was a nice touch.

A packed day, but a lot of walking — by the evening my legs were humming. Lunch is not included, we ate on our own. The Harem at Topkapı is a separate ticket. Masses of impressions.
