Overview
Join us for our Half-Day Ottoman Relics Tour, where we will delve into the legacy of the Ottoman Empire in Istanbul. This tour will take you through time, visiting some of the city's most iconic and historically significant Ottoman-era landmarks.
From the Topkapi Palace, the former heart of the Ottoman Empire, to the architectural masterpiece of the Rustem Pasha Mosque, and the vibrant atmosphere of the Grand Bazaar, this half-day tour offers a chance to experience the rich history and cultural heritage of Istanbul.
