While the close proximity of Istanbul’s top historical attractions to one another is convenient, it's also overwhelming. Experience and understand the city’s most popular landmarks on a full-day tour of the historic peninsula. Round-trip transportation from your hotel spares you the headache of navigating Istanbul on your own. The tour presents a nice balance of Byzantine and Ottoman attractions, including visits to the Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace.
