Amazing Private Walking Tour in Istanbul We had a wonderful experience on the Private Istanbul Old City Walking Tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history of the city. Walking through the historic streets and learning about the incredible heritage of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace made the experience truly unforgettable. The tour was very well organized and perfectly paced. Since it was a private tour, we had the flexibility to ask questions, spend more time at the places we enjoyed most, and really immerse ourselves in the history and culture of Istanbul. Our guide also shared interesting local stories and tips that we would never have discovered on our own. Walking through the Grand Bazaar was a highlight of the day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul who wants a deeper understanding of the city’s history and culture. A perfect way to explore the Old City!Show more

Our private walking tour of Istanbul’s Old City was an amazing experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city’s incredible history and culture. We visited all the highlights Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar and also discovered some lovely hidden spots along the way. The guide shared so many interesting stories and made the tour both fun and educational. We even had the chance to visit a local carpet shop, where we learned about traditional weaving and bought a beautiful carpet at a very reasonable price 🙏 Everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly. A big thank you to the Travel Tips Turkey team for arranging such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!Show more
