Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
A visit to the Hagia Sophia museum was a great first site to visit in Istanbul – it laid the history of the city's history and the muslim influence – it also provided more information about the muslim culture. Beautiful museum. Lots of restoration work but still able to see majority.
Coming from Rome to Istanbul, I was partly expecting the Archaeological Museum to be as impressive as what I could find in Rome. While not quite as expansive, if you are interested in ancient history & archaeology, it is certainly worth the trip.
Es lo mas lindo quw he visto en mi vida istanbul es una combinacion de culturas religiones modernidad el tour privado no dio esta oportunidad y muy bien todo
There are two obelisks and the broken Serpent Column in the Hippodrome. The obelisk of Thutmosis III is impressive an appears unweathered after thousands of years.
If you have the chance to visit Istanbul and get to know the best out of it, you should know Gokhan, our fantastic guide. I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with his organized, efficient, smooth running, and cost efficient program. Our trip to istanbul was really so wonderful and so memorable.
I would like to thank him for the excellent job he did while guiding our tour through Turkey. Very professional and also very patient. His great sense of humour made our tour very ,very enjoyable.
I now have a greater understanding of this nice country and would definetely love to come back again
Hippodrome is one of the nicest places to visit in Istanbul, esp if you are looking for something hundreds of years old, yet maintained in a very clean, interesting manner. The Hippodrome is the Roman name for this place which was made for horse and chariot racing in Roman times. Classic fountains, gorgeous old trees….
Que maravillla istanbul la mezquita de sultan ahmet fue lo mas lindo el tour privado fue unico
Hagia Sophia is one of the ‘must see’ in Istanbul. Exterior doesn’t look so attractive compared to interiors. Go to upper floor and while doing so see horses used to go there in Byzantine empire. The huge area is capped by a dome of epic proportions and it’s treasured by 2 religions.
The Grand Bazaar came with high expectations! We've been hearing about it for years, and couldn't wait to visit. It was a great place to take in the history, aromas, and friendly merchants, while picking up some spices and delicious Turkish Delights, a jellied candy. It's almost the national candy!
Les apuesto lo que quieran que que diran jamas vi una ciudad xomo istanbul
