Get off the beaten track and experience the real Istanbul on this immersive morning adventure. Begin with a visit to Suleymaniye Mosque, an exquisite blend of Islamic and Byzantine architecture overlooking the Golden Horn. Take a coffee break at Pierre Loti Hill before exploring the historic Fener–Balat districts, home to Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities. Wander through the bustling backstreets of old Taksim, and finish at the vibrant Egyptian Spice Market, where you can sample local treats or simply soak up the lively atmosphere.

The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.
