• Walls of Constantinople (Istanbul City Walls) - A private guide will collect you from your hotel with a driver and VIP vehicle. The tour begins by driving alongside the nearly 2,000-year-old ancient city walls of (Constantinople) Istanbul. You can stop at any time to explore and climb the city wall.

• Yedikule Meydanı Sokak - The tour includes a visit to the Yedikule Fortress Museum, also known as the Seven Dungeons, where the first Ottoman sultan was strangled by his own men. It also served as a prison for captured royal Christians during the Ottoman Empire. After visiting the Seven Dungeons, the tour continues along the old city walls to the Chora Church.

• Chora Museum - This church is renowned for its mosaics and icons, which depict the history of Christianity, the dynasty, and the life of Jesus Christ. These mosaics were created to educate the largely uneducated population of the time through imagery. What a brilliant method of communication! (Admission fee is approximately $20)

• Tekfur Sarayi - After visiting the Chora Church, the guide will take you to Tekfur Palace, the last Byzantine Palace where the final emperor resided. This remarkable site allows you to climb to the palace rooftop and view the entire city wall remains. (Admission fee is approximately $10)

• Nakkas Oriental Rugs & Textiles - Nakkaş Cistern is a hidden gem in the heart of Istanbul! While the city of Constantinople had formidable fortification walls, it lacked sufficient water sources, leading to sieges. The Romans ingeniously solved this by constructing underground water cisterns beneath the city. The tour provides detailed insights into the relationship between the city walls and the cisterns. This hidden cistern is unknown to many, often mistaken for just a carpet and jewelry shop. However, it is much more than that. With a licensed guide, there is no admission fee.
