Condensed tour of a few highlights

Colleen_M, Dec 2024

This was a great way to see a few highlights of the city during an extended layover. We had a fantastic driver who picked us up at our hotel (near the airport) and took us into Istanbul proper where we met our guide - Serhan. He was very knowledgeable and shared so much with us that we’d have missed trying to do it on our own. Them our same driver delivered us back to the airport in plenty of time for our flight. We were able to see Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. We saw a Turkish rug making demonstration, and Serhan even went and brought us a carry-out kebab lunch to enjoy on the drive back to the airport (delicious!!). Highly recommend!
