You must experience it too, i've recommend - This is a wonderful and information-filled tour where Istanbul still breathes the past where historical civilizations left their traces. Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman trophies are all over the city and today they still shine like the first day. I was once again mesmerized as the lovely tour guide told us information I had never heard before. It is impossible not to be mesmerized!

Good say with cultural journey - I was absolutely amazed by the rich history this city holds in every corner, under every stone. Visiting like a timeless museum. A lot of buildings, monuments from different ages of historical past. Like a lot of color and shades on same canvas. I think it was a culturally rich and unique trip. So i've higly recommend.

City of big Emperors - We had a wonderful time on our tour of Istanbul, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the city. The Roman Hippodrome and Blue Mosque were both incredible, but it was our visit to Topkapi Palace that really blew us away. It's hard to believe that such an ornate palace could have existed in the 1500s—let alone under Ottoman rule!

This tour like a history lesson ! - If you're looking for an experience that will take you back in time, Istanbul is a must-visit. We loved visiting the Roman Hippodrome and Blue Mosque, where our tour guide gave us some great history lessons and pointed out important landmarks. The Topkapi Palace was a highlight—we got to go inside and see the rooms where the sultan would have lived and worked.

Finally visit İstanbul - I really enjoyed learning about the history of city and seeing how it has been preserved and restored. The Blue Mosque was an impressive example of Islamic architecture, with beautiful mosaics and intricate decorations. And Topkapi Palace's interior was beautiful and ornate, with intricate Ottoman decorations that showed off their wealth. But if you are old like me, be ready for feel tired.
