Blue Mosque Shared Tour with Official Guide

Discover Istanbul’s Blue Mosque with an official licensed English-speaking guide. The mosque is a free-to-enter active place of worship; the price covers the professional guided tour, historical commentary and on-site assistance, not an admission ticket. Meet your guide near Sultanahmet Square and learn about the mosque’s Ottoman history, architecture and religious importance before entering. Inside, admire the vast prayer hall, cascading domes, elegant columns and famous blue Iznik tiles. Your guide will explain why the mosque was built, how it earned its popular name, the meaning behind its design and appropriate visitor etiquette. The guided experience lasts approximately 60 minutes. After the tour, you may remain inside and continue exploring independently.
