Istanbul Tour with Hereke Travel - If you’re looking for a well-organized, insightful, and unforgettable tour in Istanbul, Hereke Travel is the way to go! I had the pleasure of joining their Istanbul day tour, and it exceeded all expectations — just like the tour I previously took with them in Cappadocia. The day started with a convenient hotel pickup and smoothly flowed through some of Istanbul’s most iconic locations. We explored the Hippodrome and the stunning Blue Mosque, each with enough time to soak in the atmosphere. The Hagia Sophia History and Experience Museum was a highlight (note: admission is not included, but it’s absolutely worth it). Then we had a full hour to explore the buzzing Grand Bazaar, and finally, two enriching hours at the majestic Topkapı Palace (again, admission) The guide mert was doing his job perfectly. Having already toured Cappadocia with Hereke Travel before, I knew they were reliable and professional — and once again, they didn’t disappoint. It’s clear they take great pride in showcasing Turkey’s heritage in both regions. I Highly recommend Hereke Travel whether you’re in Istanbulor in Cappadocia, or anywhere else they operate. You won’t regret it!
