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

• Yedikule (Castle of the Seven Towers) - 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 - Following the visit to Chora Church, the guide will lead guests to Tekfur Palace, the last Byzantine Palace where the final emperor resided. This remarkable site offers the opportunity to climb to the rooftop and view the entire city wall remains. (Admission fee is approximately $10)

• Fener & Balat - In the charming area of Fener, sidewalk cafes and European-Turkish bistros line the streets alongside old wooden houses and small, elegant churches like the Saint Stefan Bulgarian Orthodox Church, made of cast iron, and the 7th-century Church of St. Mary of the Mongols. Along the waterfront, İbb Haliç Şair Nedim Parkı features walking paths and a ferry terminal, providing connections down the Golden Horn and across to the city’s Asian side. No admission fee.
