The experience

The day that leaves nothing out. It begins on the Hippodrome, where chariot races once set the rhythm of Byzantium and three ancient columns still stand. Hagia Sophia follows, then the Blue Mosque and its interior, and a descent into the Basilica Cistern. Past Topkapı Palace the guide tells the stories of the sultans and the harem, then the route turns to the Spice Bazaar, an optional tasting of Turkish delight, palace halva and flower teas, and a walk across Galata Bridge. From one of the oldest underground railways in the world the day climbs to Galata Tower, where all of Istanbul opens at once, and ends along İstiklal Avenue. A licensed guide throughout.
