Itinerary
"Where Chariots Once Roared", Step into what was once the stadium of the ancient world! The Hippodrome was the social centre of Constantinople, where roaring crowds cheered on their favourite chariot teams. Today, you'll stroll through Sultanahmet Square, standing in the shadow of timeless monuments such as the Obelisk of Theodosius, the Serpent Column and the charming German Fountain.
"A Sea of Tiles and Spiritual Peace", Get ready to be amazed by one of the most beautiful mosques in the world. With over 20,000 hand-painted Blue tiles and a spacious courtyard, the Blue Mosque is a masterpiece of Ottoman design. Feel the peaceful energy of this still active place of worship and learn why it was built to rival the grandeur of Hagia Sophia - just across the square!
"Secrets of the Sultans", Enter the gates of power where Ottoman sultans ruled for centuries! Topkapı Palace is more than just a palace—it's an empire frozen in time. Wander through lush green courtyards and richly decorated rooms, peek into the mysterious Harem and discover sacred relics and imperial jewels.
Hagia Sophia "The Dome That Changed the World", Welcome to Hagia Sophia, where architecture, religion and history come together in breathtaking harmony. Look up at the massive dome, a 6th-century engineering marvel, and marvel at the mosaics and calligraphy that whisper stories of Christianity and Islam. Your guide will explain how this legendary building has changed with each empire it has served.
"The Underground Cathedral", It's cool, it's mysterious and it's under your feet. Dive into the Basilica Cistern, an ancient underground world with rows of marble columns rising from still water. Follow the soft echoes, spot the two Medusa heads and enjoy a few magical, otherworldly moments in Istanbul's best-kept secret.
"Colorful Chaos You’ll Love to Explore", End your day in Istanbul's iconic Grand Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world. Lose yourself in the maze of stalls selling colourful ceramics, Turkish delights, glowing lanterns and hand-made carpets. Your guide will give you expert advice on where to shop - and how to bargain like a local! (closed on sundays)

We had an incredible experience touring Istanbul with Feyzullah. From the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia to other hidden gems, he brought each site to life with fascinating insights and a warm, welcoming spirit. His English was excellent, making communication easy and enjoyable. Kind, knowledgeable, and great company throughout the day, he came highly recommended by a colleague — and he did not disappoint. We left Istanbul with a deeper appreciation for its history and culture thanks to him.
Very pleasant kind and friendly. Educated, dedicated and the best you can book if you want to know a lot about the history
We toured around Istanbul in April 2024 with Feyz and we had a fantastic time. It was a personalized tour based on our desired interests. He was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the city and spoke excellent English. He moved quickly at our desired pace through many highlights of the city. I would recommend using Feyz to anyone who wants to experience all that Istanbul has to offer.
We had a wonderful experience with Fez in Istanbul. We toured with him for two days. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing history and local stories that brought the city to life. His friendly personality made the days even more enjoyable. Highly recommend him to anyone who wanted to truly experience Istanbul.
Feys was an excellent guide for exploring Istanbul and its surroundings, explaining everything in both Spanish and English. A fantastic way to discover the city at your own pace and in a more private setting.
All very well!! Nice tour in Spanish. You know places of culture. We went to the main attractions, took a boat trip, got to know the great bazaar and the main mosques.
Feyzullah is an excellent tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable about all of sites we visited. Highly recommend!!!
