Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque & Suleymaniye Mosque: Private Walking Tour
About this experience
Take a tour through centuries of Turkish heritage with a professional guide, as they lead you through the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia, one of the nation's most treasured landmarks.
Constructed in the 6th century by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, this illustrious mosque began its life as an Orthodox Christian cathedral in the heart of early Constantinople (now Istanbul). Over its illustrious 1,500-year history, this iconic landmark has served as a Catholic church, mosque, and museum.
The adventure continues as you marvel at the Blue Mosque, freshly restored to its former glory. Discover the fascinating story behind this grand building's nickname and immerse yourself in its rich history.
Delight in a refreshing break with a local drink at a historic madrasah, where you'll uncover more about the magnificent Suleymaniye Mosque.
