Great video, Bery! I followed almost this exact itinerary from the guides I bought from you and I must say that it was spot on, I stayed in Sultanahmet and every place was so easy to reach from there, I used those lines of metro and tram you mentioned here and took me everywhere in no time, so simple to reach and covered 98% of these places, I just changed 2 places for others I really wanted to visit instead, but other than that, this is the best itinerary out there covering the major attractions and even the Asian side. I always wake up very early when I travel because I like to cover as much as I can and let me tell you that I was able to do everything shown here plus a little more at night without a problem or running around, I visited in summer when the days are longer so it was a huge advantage, but even in winter I see it doable. Thank you for always bringing us the best and most accurate information.

Great video! Would love to see more places from the Asian side. Parks as well. And also areas for shopping (the places from where the locals shop).

Hi Barry, thanks for the video!!!! I'm hoping to go next year. Gracias!

It was much needed for my one week trip to Istanbul next week

Great video. I'm using this while in istanbul now.

Love this ❤ you make visiting Istanbul look so easy 😊 your videos helped me a lot and I’m looking forward to visit the city in October

Splendid, excellent and very good explanation ❤❤❤thanks Berry 🎉🎉🎉

Istanbul is one of the greatest places in the world! Thanks for a fantastic video as always!

There is a great choice among these different means of transport and all options are amazing. The Bosphoros is something magical! Thank you for this info video.❤

Thankyou for such amazing and informative video

love your videos it helped me plan my vacation back in september 2023. and it was breathtaking. i dont know if i told you but i keep watching, great job and keep up the great work!!!!!

What a video. Thank u so much for doing this. I have been in Istanbul once in my life in 2022, but i am so excited to come back and see so many new places. There is a magic in this city. My dream place is to visit Buyukada because one of my favourite turkish drama had been filmed there. I hope to visit it this summer.😍

Great Video ❤

I am staying in Istanbul for 4 days 😊 super excited to try the Turkish cuisine and explore all the monuments and history ❤ thank you for the video

Missing Istanbul & Turkiye every day ❤

Great vid covering most of the major attractions. I would add one more which is Eyupsultan area and going on the teleferik to Pierre Lotti hill, amazing views from there.

Great video and lots of information thank you Bery. We are booked on one of your tours in July and are very excited!

Great itinerary 👍

Thanks dear it's nice info

You hit most of the main tourist areas! For people who have more time available I wish you'd show them how to take the 6 1/2 hour Bosphorus tour from Eminönu by Sehir Hatlari - they have both the daily tour, and a Saturday sunset tour (in Summer). I rode it from Eminönu to Anadolu Kavağı several times - and they make a few stops along the way if you want to explore. The view from the sunset tour is a very different experience. I see the price has doubled since I was there this summer (inflation is crazy in Istanbul), but it's still an inexpensive and amazing way to see the entire bosphorus strait. Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much Bery! What a wonderful video, so informative. We are from South Africa and planning a trip to Turkey with out baby in March. Any advice on the weather, what to pack and child friendly activities?

Nice, great 😘😘😘😍😍😍

Very beautiful❤

I think I would need 40 days there 👍

Thanks Bery, do you know how people can take the tram that goes along the İstiklal street? And how people can go to Kız Kulesi?

Hi Berry can you explain how to pray in blue mosque?

I personally really enjoyed walking along the old Theodosian Walls at the end of the old city (Fatih) It's easy to get to with the metro and it gives a more authentic vibe vibe than the touristy sultan ahmed

Hii Nice video ❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great video Bery! One important question! Where can I found the timetables of these attractions? I searched during weeks but each website says something completely different about the opening & closing hours(even Google Maps and the official sites). I need to know it to plan my itinerary. Thanks!

Is Hagia Sophia less crowded now there’s an entrance fee? Or is it busy as ever?

We cannot tell much difference now since is low season, once high season comes, then we will see if is busy or not.

How much for 4 nights hotel with WiFi AC in Istanbul ?? For a good safe hotel 🏨

Turkey like many countries eg Japan etc should have one common transportation card , which could be used in all the cities of Turkiye because a card of one city cannot be used in another city and a tourist loses leftover money from the previous city card he/she has visited. I hope concerned authorities look into the matter. This could save a lot of time, money of the tourist and the hassles for obtaining a card of a new city...🌹☺️

They don't care. Everything is money and they will take it with joy or scam. So enjoy the visit and stay focused.

Hi Bery ..I’m planning to be go to Istanbul second week of September..I have two questions..is it safe to stay in Airbnb or you recommend a hotel..? And I’m booking a tour with you and your husband, are you going to be in Istanbul in September?…Thanks

@BeryIstanbulTips

Both options are acceptable; some hotels include breakfast, so you can decide based on that. I'll be in Istanbul in September, but we've already made some tour bookings for that month. If your dates are confirmed, I recommend contacting Reminder tour as soon as possible, as I may not be available.

I am 76 and my wife is 74. We would love to visit Istanbul for 4-5 days but I wish we had a college student guide us for 3-6 hours a day. We would possibly go in October. Anyone in their 20, or 30's would work. Any possibilities? We would pay a decent daily wage.

Hi! Hopefully soon you can visit the city, I’m sure you’d love it 😍 But just to let you know. Anyone giving tours without being a licensed tour guide in 🇹🇷 is doing it illegally. There are people (auditors) in many touristy areas of the city and when they realize someone is touring a group without a license he/she can be taken by the police, get fined, and in case of being a foreigner can even get deported. Tour guiding is a profession which is very good protected by the Turkish authorities and also can only be performed by Turkish citizens. If you want a tour here, I suggest you hire an OFFICIAL tour guide, a private and personalized one would be the way to go since they adjust the hours and places according to your needs. Every day it can be a half day tour, for example, so you don’t get too tired. Here in Turkey is not like in many cities around Europe that you can easily find college students giving the “free walking tours”. In Turkey that is banned. Hope this helps!

@BeryIstanbulTips

Well, the little difference here is that is not controlled by the mafia is the Ministry of Tourism through its auditors keeping an eye on the touristy areas and making sure there aren’t people giving tours ILLEGALLY without a license😀 In fact, I support this measure to protect the official tour guides’ job ☺️. They go to college, study for this, go to seminars, they have to pass a foreign language exam, they must join tours throughout the whole country organized for them by the Ministry of Tourism after they graduate, each tour in each region of 🇹🇷 lasts for 1 week each (7 regions in total which means 7 weeks of tours) and once they finish all of that, then they get their license and they can finally give tours. I must also add that each tour guide must renew their license every year and have to pay a high fee just for that.

Just advice, it will better if you aware about the transcript/subtitles/CC what they showing. Because, what the heck AA Sophia and blue musk?!

Thanks!
