Walk Sultanahmet before the crowds arrive, with a licensed guide who grew up in the neighbourhood.
Sultanahmet holds two empires in the space of a few hundred metres, and at seven in the morning you get it almost to yourself.
Your guide meets you beside the Hippodrome and walks you through the district as the city wakes up: bakers pulling simit from the oven, gulls over the Bosphorus, the first call to prayer still hanging in the air. You will stand in front of Hagia Sophia without queueing for anything, cross into the Blue Mosque courtyard, and finish in a tea garden where locals rather than tour groups take breakfast.
This is a walking tour, not a lecture. Expect stories, corrections to things you have read, and enough context that the rest of your week in Istanbul makes better sense.
Where the chariots ran, and why three monuments from three civilisations stand in a row.
The quiet one. Meets at the Hippodrome obelisk.

Obelisk of Theodosius, Sultanahmet Square, 06:45 बजे
Wear shoes you can walk three kilometres in. Shoulders and knees should be covered for the mosque courtyard, and women should bring a scarf. The tour runs in light rain.
The 07:00 departure is the quiet one. There is also a 09:30 if sunrise is asking too much.
No. This is an outdoor walking tour. Your guide will tell you the best time to go in on your own and how to avoid the queue.
Yes, from around eight upwards. It is roughly three kilometres at a gentle pace.
