This tour covers the historical highlights of Istanbul and it is the best choice for those who do a short visit and for those who stay in the hotels far from the old city. It is always possible to change the itinerary according to your preferences. I pick you up from the hotel and drop off as well by a private car. During the classical tour, you will explore the history of two different Empires. We arrive in Sultanahmet Square and have a short walk in the ancient Byzantine Hippodrome starting our journey in the past. In this tour of two days besides a lot of historical marvels of the city, you will have the opportunity to taste local food and you will see some off beaten neighbohoods of Istanbul. It is certain that after such a very pleasant tour with a very experienced local of the city you will really feel like a local citizen and your memories will never be forgotten.
As this is a private tour, the itinerary can be changed due to the interest of the guests. Depending on the closed days of the museums we can switch the tour days.
