What time does the tour begin and how long does it last ?
The tour departs daily at 09:00 AM and runs for approximately five hours, typically concluding by 14:00. This morning schedule allows guests to experience the landmarks before the peak midday crowds arrive, ensuring a more comfortable and immersive visit.
How much walking does the tour involve ?
As the three main sites are located in close proximity within the Sultanahmet district, the tour is primarily conducted on foot. Guests should be prepared for approximately two to three hours of walking on uneven cobblestone surfaces. A vehicle is available and used where necessary, particularly for transfers at the start and end of the tour. Comfortable, flat-soled footwear is highly recommended.
