About this excursion

Explore Istanbul’s Old City with me, Suleyman Tirasoglu, your experienced private guide. I bring the city’s Byzantine and Ottoman history to life through stories and conversation, with time for your questions.

My approach is friendly, easygoing, and flexible. We can adjust the pace, balance historical detail with everyday Turkish culture, and take breaks when you need them. The route can be adapted to your interests, taking opening hours and available time into account.

Discover remarkable landmarks alongside quieter moments, such as a courtyard break at Caferaga Medresesi. Whether this is your first visit or you are returning to Istanbul, my aim is to help you feel comfortable, understand what you see, and enjoy the day.

This tour is exclusively for you and your party, with my personal attention throughout.
