Rivayet Audio Guide

Read full description

Istanbul is not a city you look at. It is a city you listen to. Rivayet is an audio guide for 29 of Istanbul's most remarkable places, written and narrated to be heard on site, standing exactly where the story happened. No tour group, no schedule, no rushing. You walk, you pause, you listen. WHAT YOU GET Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace and the Harem, Dolmabahçe Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, the Süleymaniye Mosque, Galata Tower, the Chora Church, the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar and the Eminönü waterfront, the Hippodrome, the Bosphorus cruise, the Istanbul Archaeological Museums, the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts, Beylerbeyi Palace, Yıldız Palace and Park, Rumeli Fortress, the Land Walls and Yedikule, the Zeyrek Mosque, the Fethiye Mosque, the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus, the Galata Mevlevi Lodge, the Panorama 1453 History Museum, the Rahmi M. Koç Museum, the Çamlıca Mosque, Eyüpsultan and the Pierre Loti Hill, Büyükada, İstiklal Avenue from Tünel to Taksim, and the Fener and Balat walk. THREE LANGUAGES Every guide is available in Turkish and English, and most in Persian. Choose your language and switch whenever you like. WRITTEN TO BE WORTH YOUR TIME These are not encyclopedia entries read aloud. Each guide is built around the details that make a place make sense: who built it and why, what it was used for, what changed, and what to look for before you walk out. Bring headphones and give a monument twenty minutes. It changes what you see. HOW ACCESS WORKS Rivayet is unlocked with an access code. If your hotel, tour operator, or guide gave you a code, open the app, enter it, and every place above is yours. MADE FOR WALKING Simple player, clear chapters, and a layout that works with one hand while the other one holds a coffee. Start anywhere in the city, in any order, at your own pace. Istanbul has been telling this story for sixteen centuries. Put your headphones on.
