描述

Discover Turkey's art, history, and culture on this guided walking tour of Istanbul’s mosques. Visit the iconic Hagia Sophia, take photos of the Blue Mosque, and see the incredible Suleymaniye mosque.
Meet your guide in the vibrant Sultanahmet area and stroll to the first mosque, Hagia Sophia. Trace the roots of this city landmark from its completion in the sixth century A.D. as an Orthodox Christian cathedral in early-day Constantinople.

Skip the line by picking the inclusive option or receive booking assistance from your guide before the tour starts to avoid the long lines.

As you explore its breathtaking grounds, journey through its storied history that spans 1,500 years, and discover how this iconic landmark has been used as a Catholic church, mosque, and museum.

Continue to the magnificent Blue Mosque, originally named the Sultan Ahmed Mosque after Sultan Ahmed I. Discover how Sultan Ahmed built this grand edifice against his counselors’ advice, which would serve as his most lasting legacy. Learn about its intricately tiled exterior and floral designs inside the mosque with your guide.

Next, make your way to the Third Hill of Istanbul and marvel at the Suleymaniye Mosque. Known as the largest mosque in the city for more than 450 years, hear about how it was dethroned from its title in 2019. Gaze at this impressive mosque designed by the renowned architect Mimar Sinan, one of the most notable figures in Istanbul’s architectural history.

Finally, round off your tour with a stop at a historical madrasah to sip on some refreshing local drinks. Trade stories with fellow travelers before saying goodbye.
