We had an amazing experience with this company. The driver was excellent and the tour was fantastic. Highly recommended.
Hagia Sophia a must see historic land mark from the Byzantine era, and old Constantinople. The church is the former Greek Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later an imperial mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its construction in 537 until 1453, it served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
Topkapi Palace was unquestionably the coolest attraction I saw in Istanbul–I spent almost 3.5 hours there. The palace enormous, ornate, and absolutely beautiful, and items on display are one-of-a-kind.
Hagia Sophia… historical mosque and church… the place have different culture, very big place is now museum. St Sophia have a magnicifant and huge dome.
What is more classic to Turkey than Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque? The huge hanging medallions are a sight unto themselves. There's a quiet and a peace here that only hallowed places have. I fall in love with Turkey again every time I walk into this place – six different trips at this point!
Basilica Cistern is very interesting to see and a nice cool place to sit for a snack. There was a long line to get in but it went quick.
Poder ver istanbul fue una de las oportunidades mas hermosas de mi vida siempre escuchaba hablar y contrate el tour privado fueron muy amables
Every holiday in Istanbul has to include the Grand Bazaar. You could spend hours here. I was surprised that we were not hassled as much as expected… not sure why .. but very pleased. Purchased the appropriate shirts and hats and …. all good … Not to be missed
La mezquita de sultan ahmet creo que es jn simbolo de turquia y el mundo tuve la posibilidad de conocerla atraes de un tour privado y si que valio la pena.
Hippodromeis an area that you need a guide to point out the historical sites and tell you what you are looking at. There are 2 obelisks and the remnants of the serpent tower. You can do this in 15 minutes.
