Discover the intriguing history of Istanbul, and learn about its origins as we wander around Hagia Sophia.

Narrated by a local historian, this private independent walk is all about uncovering the backstories of the most iconic architecture, secret tales and history, and learning more about how this city reflects the cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here.

Together, we’ll explore the carpet museum and learn about traditional Turkish weaving, visit the iconic Blue Mosque, take photos at the mesmerising Basilica Cistern, stroll around The Hippodrome, and admire the beautiful Museum of Turkish & Islamic Arts.

Finish the tour at the Grand Bazaar and get lost in this beautiful maze of shops and alleyways, and relax at Cağaloğlu Hamam, one of Istanbul's traditional hammams.
