5.0(15)IstanbulKostenlose StornierungNeu

Über diese Aktivität

Discover Istanbul through 29 immersive audio-story locations, from famous landmarks to hidden corners. After booking, you’ll receive a private access link with English audio stories, written content, map links, and suggested routes. No app or scheduled meeting is required—open it on your phone and begin. Explore Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, Balat, Galata, the Bosphorus, the Asian side, and more. Discover historical details, local legends, memorable characters, and stories that bring Istanbul’s past to life. The 29 locations form a flexible collection, not a route you must complete in one day. Start nearby, follow a suggested journey, choose the places that interest you, or spread the experience across several days. Pause whenever you like and keep lifetime access after booking. Explore independently with a local storyteller in your pocket. This is a self-guided mobile experience. No physical guide will meet you, and attraction tickets are not included.
