Lost in Istanbul: History and Mystery Together with Blindfolded Tour, The Best Chocolate, Sky views and more

Guided trip
Hello, Why I organized this trip: When I came to Istanbul in 2016, one of my biggest dreams was to explore this city from beginning to end. At that time, I was at the university and could not find much time, I graduated from the university in 2018 and immediately started working. I could not fulfill this dream again. However, in 2020, with the pandemic, I turned people's lockdown into an opportunity, I said: “Now it's time to explore!”. Because the streets were empty, the museums were empty, and I had plenty of time. I visited more than 100 places in Istanbul in 2 years and shared the places I visited on my social media accounts. After that, many people started to say “please show us around”. And then I said to myself, “There are many people who want to come and see Istanbul, why don't I guide them?” And now I am on this platform. Let me talk a little about myself; I am 27 years old, I have been living in Istanbul for 6 years, I graduated from the department of international relations and I still work as a customer consultant in an international company. I don't read and travel in my spare time, yes you heard right, I don't do these in my spare time. Because they are indispensable in my life. Even if I don't have free time, I create time for them. When you really love someone/something, you will always MAKE TIME for them no matter what, no matter how! About our trip; I planned it to be 3 days. I put the most beautiful and touristic places of Istanbul in the first two days. Because if you come to Istanbul and return without seeing these places, it is not possible. The third day will be the most exciting day. Because that day you will experience adventure and mystery together. I will take you to places that many tourist guides have never known, and you will have unforgettable memories there. I'd like to mention the prices too; You will stay 4-star hotel and it includes free Wi-Fi. I tried to write down the food, museum, or transportation fees on our trip as detailed as possible. In case, there may be unpredictable fees, I am always with you. I will try to make our trip in the most affordable way. Because one day, when I come to your country, I serve you in the same way I want to be hosted, at these prices. If you need assistance, you can contact me! By the way, I almost forgot to say; If you want to change the directions or add other places you are curious about and remove some places from this list, your wishes will be taken into account. Flexibility is our priority! You can always contact me for anything you wonder about.

Trip Itinerary
1

Mihrişah Cafe Restaurant

Day 1
First rule: No trips on an empty stomach! So, what will we eat, you ask? The answer is simple; No way without traditional Turkish food first! I will pick up you from your hotel or wherever you stay. Then, we will go to a Bosphorus view place and taste the most delicious breakfast ever!
2

Nakkaş Rugs

Day 1
"Musab! Did you go crazy! Are you taking us to a rug market?" I can hear you say. Of course I'm not taking it there. Under that building, there are the remains of the old Eastern Roman Emrime (Byzantine) hippodrome. Istanbul's history begins from here! Most people don't know this place. I will take you to places no one knows. Follow the right rabbit!
3

Hagia Sophia

Day 1
This magnificent construction, built in 360 AD, has been the most important symbol of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ottomans. I'm going to tell you the history of it. This 1800-year-old structure will take you on a tour of history.
4

The Blue Mosque

Day 1
Sultanahmet Camii (Blue Mosque) is one of the most magnificent building in Turkey. The building is not just mosque, it is also a social life complex. In this trip, we will witness the history and art.
5

Topkapı Palace

Day 1
"So, tell me Musab, what is this Ottoman Empire, what did they do?" I feel like hearing this question from you. This Ottoman imperial palace served as the main residence and administrative headquarters of the Ottoman sultans. No way without seeing it!
6

Palatium Cafe and Restaurant

Day 1
I promised you it would be an adventurous trip. The name "cafe" here may mislead you, this is actually an old secret underground palace. It was newly discovered and no one knows about it. At the end of the day, we will discover a hidden cellar here, and have a drink and end-of-day reviews.
7

Galata Tower

Day 1-2
The second day has begun! I will come to your hotel/staying area and pick you up. Before our Bosphorus tour, you must view this magnificent watchtower. During this time I will tell you about that area and the history of the tower.
8

Rios Edition Hotel

Day 2
You will stay your night at your hotel. It is near to transportation and cost road. The hotel has a 4-star rank. Luxury and affordable. I did not include breakfast. Let me know if you request more service, please.

Eminönü

Day 2
Istanbul is the only city with a sea passing through it. How about taking a tour in this sea? I will tell the architecture of this city, accompanied by the unique beauty of the Bosphorus, during our ferry trip. Get your bagels ready, because the tradition of this city is to throw bagels at seagulls :) (Departure: 14:40)
10

Ortaköy

Day 2
If you think that I will leave you without eating traditional kumpir in Ortaköy, you are wrong. Everyone who comes to Istanbul has definitely tasted this traditional flavor. As we approach the end of the second day, we will have in-depth conversations with you :)

Emaar SkyView

Day 2-3
In the first 5 minutes, your heart rate will peak, and you will walk on a glass terrace, 200 meters above the ground! Not to mention a wonderful view of Istanbul! As your loyal photographer, I will record these moments, you will just have fun :)

Dialogue in the Dark
