Product Info

Visit 3 of Istanbul's most historically significant mosques on a private or shared group guided walking tour. Discover the fascinating history of the Hagia Sophia, the beauty of the Blue Mosque, and the grand Suleymaniye Mosque.

Meet your guide in the buzzing 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.

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

Continue to the magnificent Blue Mosque, and discover how Sultan Ahmed built this grand edifice against his counselors’ advice, which would serve as his most lasting legacy. Admire its intricately tiled exterior and floral designs 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. Explore this impressive mosque designed by the renowned architect Mimar Sinan.

Finally, round off your tour with a stop at a historical madrasah, where you can try a refreshing local drink.
