Basilica Cistern an absolute fascinating underground structure. It is a great site to walk though and think about how long ago it was constructed. It was also used as a scene for a James Bond movie.
We were only in Istanbul for one day, but thanks to the excellent work of our tour guide Taylan our party of eight was able to get a real taste of the city. Can’t wait to go back and spend more time in this fascinating place.
I've had the Hagia Sophia on my bucket list for over 25 years, so I was very disappointed to walk into it and find one whole side of the interior hidden by scaffolding. I accept, however, that old buildings need work!
Topkapi Palace architecture is beautiful and the views terrific but when we were there, a good deal of the harem was closed as were the kitchens and several other parts of the museum.
我们参加私人一日游时正好碰上当地的礼拜五市场。从蓝色清真寺出来后,我们要求到有带我们逛了一圈礼拜五市场,亲身体验了当地人的日常生活。

What a great tour of the old part of Istanbul! If you are visiting Istanbul for the first time, we highly recommend you take this tour…it was well worth it!
The Hippodrome, as it is now, isn't so much of a tourist attraction as it is a very nice park with historical columns and fountains. You are going to be right there when you go to see the Blue Mosque anyway, so you might was take it in as you go. It makes a very enjoyable route from the Sultanahmet…
