Thank you very much for the Mystery Tours
We had only one day to see Istanbul. It was a port of call during our cruise. We booked the small group tour and Taylan was our guide. He was excellent. We wanted to see all the highlights of Istanbul, but also wanted plenty of time to explore the Grand Bazaar. Taylan was knowledgeable, polite and interesting to talk to. He was on time, waiting for us when we got off the ship. At lunchtime, we gave him free rein as to what to order for us. He ordered his favorites and we were able to try a variety of local dishes.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS
“Turkey is indeed one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Istanbul is the best city to visit for a tourist ! It has all the wonders one would like to see…. These mosques are only few sites of interest…. The Orient and the Occident breath together… The modern runs after the antiques… The Black Sea, the amazing Bosphorous and the Marmara Sea hugs Istanbul like an amazing lover…The Goden Horn kisses her shores and her seven hills are the guardian of her undeniable beauty….”
Hagia Sophia is to crowded but absolutely must seen. Just stand on the corner and admire the beauty of architecture and imagine the times of great emperors.
Hagia Sophia is a must see in Istanbul and there is no way that you will miss this attraction if you are in the city. There are prayers held at periodic interval and during this period , the entrance is stopped. In case, you want to visit the place from inside, then plan your timing properly..
El palacio de dolma bahce …palacio relleno… es un lugar muy lujoso y hermoso el tour privado nos ayudo a conocer todo en su rehla
In the grand bazaar, you can find many things. And out of this many things, 99% of the stuff are stuff that you will not use in your life. These are usually overpriced in the grand bazaar and you will need to have lots of patience to look around to compare prices and negotiate.
The tours arranged for us to be picked up at the airport on our arrival in Istanbul, taken on a 3-4 hour “lay of the land” tour of Istanbul (We had previously seen the major sights) and then dropped off at the cruise terminal to begin our cruise. Everything couldn’t have gone smoother. It was a very positive experience. Highly recommended!
