Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, & Basilica Cistern Tour

A guide leads the group through the Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern, then walks the Old City past the Hippodrome and the Million Stone, introducing Islamic, Byzantine and Ottoman history along the way. Cistern and Hagia Sophia tickets are included, and the guide hands over Hagia Sophia tickets and audio so you can explore its interior alone.

The tour runs about four hours from fixed daily departures. Reviewers appreciated how smoothly the guides handled queues and unexpected changes, and some valued intimate group sizes, though one found the price high.

Dress coverings are not included.
