Overview

Istanbul is such a marvelous city where east and west meet and split. It had been capital of empirements for 1700 years where Europe Continent ends and Asia Continent starts. Therefore, it has been the city of palaces, royal churhes, mosques and shopping. Most beautiful buildings had been built here. Finest arts had been prepared and crafted here. Let's meet and explore all these highlights in old city together. I will do my best to introduce Highlights of Istanbul with my 30 years guidance experiance. Also, I have a priority to skip ticket lines. So You are not going to be waiting for tickets in Basilica Cistern and Topkapı Palace.
