What To Expect
Hippodrome
The Hippodrome of Constantinople (Greek: Ἱππόδρομος τῆς Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, romanized: Hippódromos tēs Kōnstantinoupóleōs; Latin: Circus Maximus Constantinopolitanus; Turkish: Hipodrom), was a circus that was the sporting and social centre of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. Today it is a square in Istanbul, Turkey, known as Sultanahmet Square (Turkish: Sultanahmet Meydanı). The word hippodrome comes from the Greek hippos (ἵππος), horse, and dromos (δρόμος), path or way. For this reason, it is sometimes also called Atmeydanı ("Horse Square") in Turkish. Horse racing and chariot racing were popular pastimes in the ancient world and hippodromes were common features of Greek cities in the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras.
Blue Mosque
The Blue Mosque, officially the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Turkish: Sultan Ahmet Camii), is an Ottoman-era historical imperial mosque located in Istanbul, Turkey. It was constructed between 1609 and 1617 during the rule of Ahmed I and remains a functioning mosque today. It also attracts a large number of tourists and is one of the most iconic and popular monuments of Ottoman architecture.[2][3] The mosque was built next to the former Hippodrome and stands across from the Hagia Sophia, another popular tourist site. The Blue Mosque was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1985 under the name of "Historic Areas of Istanbul".

THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!

5.00SAW Travel, Turgut and Eren, get the highest marks possible! Turgut, the director of operations is simply the best. His assistance, detailed communication and above all, his kindness made our experience one of a lifetime. The price was exceptional! EREN our tour guide was also one of the kindest people I have ever met in my life. Not only did he do a great job guiding us through the history of iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, cisterns, the spice market and more, his personal experience and comments add another layer of understanding to our experience. I particularly liked his attention to our wellbeing and safety. I never felt unsafe at any moment while in Istanbul. But when Eren stated that if anyone ever gave us trouble to let him know and he would take care invite. Coming from an accomplished professional boxer, this really added a measure of comfort for us and was so kind and we cannot thank him enough for caring for us like family. This was true of everyone we encountered while being guided through the astounding city of Istanbul. Mere words cannot express the quality and level of expertise we experienced while under their care. Thank you so much! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

5.00My Experience was Amazing on this Tour. Such interesting places and areas to visit on Asian side and European side. Turut went above and beyond to look after me. I felt as a solo traveller very safe in Istanbul on the tour he provided for me. Firat, the driver, was so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I can thoroughly recommend this Company if you are in Istanbul.
Excellent.

5.00Had a great experience with ToursOffice during my recent trip to Istanbul. The team was extremely expedient, professional, and very open in their communication. They made everything smooth and stress-free, which was especially valuable in a bustling city like Istanbul. From the moment we booked to the end of the tour, everything was handled with care and attention to detail. Highly recommend their services if you're looking for a reliable and well-organized tour provider!
