Notes
The tour will be conducted by a licensed professional guide.

Participants will pay a fair amount between 10€ and 50€ depending on their satisfaction. Payment is per individual.
For groups, the price is 400 lira or 10€ per person.

For a better experience we keep the groups smaller. Please book only if you are sure that you will attend the tour.

Adequate attire needed to enter the mosques. Women need to have headscarf too. 

We plan the tours according to mosque times. So, we need to change the time slightly sometimes. If there is a change, we will inform you a day before.

This tour has limited seats.  If you will not attend due to some changes in your plans, we kindly ask you to cancel on your bookings page or from email of confirmation to open space for other visitors.

For the best experience, please be in meeting point few minutes earlier and keep in contact (better on WhatsApp).

All I want is that travelers will leave Istanbul with the feeling of having been in an amazing city full of life and admire to come back again and again to discover more. Istanbul is a love.
