Alcoholic drinksExcellent guide who really knew his stuff and spoke excellent English. If there is a male in your party ensure they are not wearing shorts as they will not get in. Females need headscarf. Whole day brilliant and timed well apart from visit to the Spice Bazaar at the end - had two hours here and even our guide said usually only one hour. Overall great trip, would recommend. Hagia Sophia and T Palace are 75 Euros per person, you can pay the operator over lunch, card and cash accepted.
Embark on an 8-hour exploration of Istanbul, complete with a delightful lunch. Marvel at the Hagia Sophia, a historic edifice that has served as both a church and a mosque. Witness the remnants of Byzantine sports at the Roman Hippodrome and navigate through the labyrinthine lanes of the Grand Bazaar.
This journey will transport you through two millennia, from the enigmatic history of the Roman Empire to the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic. Delve into the lives of Roman Emperors and Ottoman Sultans, exploring tales of wealth and poverty, forbidden topics, and hidden narratives.
The tour promises to illuminate historical facts, previously confined to dusty books, in an engaging and often humorous manner. The passionate tour guides, who have devoted their lives to studying and sharing history, ensure an unforgettable experience.
