    Old City Tour in Istanbul

    Enjoy a hearty breakfast after which you embark on your Old city Tour.
    Visit the astoundingly beautiful Topkapi Palace, which has been home to the sultans for over 300 years.

Home to the 7th largest diamond in the world, the Spoonmaker’s diamond which is displayed in the Treasury section, the Palace is ornate.

It took 7 years to build, back in (1606 AD) and was created by the order of Sultan Ahmed I of the Ottoman Empire. The courtyard is embellished with the stunning view of the domes. The colour predominantly used in creating this holy place is a brilliant shade of Iznik blue. Back in the 17th century Iznik tile production was on a high.
    (You will have lunch at a local restaurant for the authentic experience)
    Post lunch, you will visit  St. Sophia, The church of the Divine Wisdom, which is nothing short of an architectural wonder. Built in 537 AD during the reign of Emperor Justinian, it is one of the greatest churches, until the conquest of Constantinople made by Sultan Mehmet II in 1453. This was when the Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque. In the year 1934, the place was declared a museum and people from across the world have visited here to see it in all its glory.

Choose from a wide range of local handicrafts, rare jewels, carpets, antiques, home ware, copperware, gold, books as well as souvenirs.  There are hidden courtyards that you can explore as well as kiosks and marble fountains that you can get the perfect pictures with. This is one of the places where you will find the most authentic local experience.
