A General City Tour by Foot

MChristopher_B, Oct 2024

An exceptional overview of historic Istanbul in the Hippodrome region. This layover tour is all walking. You only see the van for transit to and from the airport. Travellers also need to purchase tickets on each site. The tour is a nationalist interpretation of historical facts, but does not include conflicts or contradictions.
