This tour was less than the cruise tour. we had a fab..time. thx
I saw this impressive palace on the Bosphorus while on a boat cruise and really wanted to see it. A couple of days later, I took a tram and joined a guided group tour.
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable.
En istanbul esta topkapi es un palacio matavilloso gracias al private tour conocimos el lugar muy buena la atencion
I highly recommend her for anybody planning to have a sightseeing tour in Istanbul. The city is amazing, but having someone take you around and put the history and architecture into context made it even more so. We were extremely pleased with our guide Taylan. I would recommend this tour to anybody who is visiting Istanbul.
We had a terrific day our tour was flawlessly performed from start to finish.
Basilica Cistern a must-see, as you can appreciate the centuries-old history of this place. Remnants of Roman temples were "recycled" to form the water cistern.
By comparison with other Museums in UK, Europe and USA I rate the Istanbul Archaeology Museum as one of the best museums in the world. IT is currently in renovation so it is only going to get better. The Alexander sarcophagus, sculpted busts, mosaics and cuneiform scripts are as old as I have ever seen. The displays are well done…
Chapel of St. Barbara It has a cruciform plan, with two columns. The north, south and west arms of the cruciform are barrel vaulted, and the centre, the east arm, and the east corners are domed. There are a main, central apse and two side apses.
Motifs were painted in red directly onto the rock. The walls and the dome are decorated in a variety of motifs including geometrical patterns, mythological animals and military symbols. The walls also have motifs resembling stonework.
This church dates back to the second half of the 11th century.
On the main apse is Christ Pantocrator, on the north arm are St.George and the Dragon and St Theodore, and on the west arm is St Barbara.
The three figures of triangular shaped trees and the heads of the lances are very hard to explain. It is still not known whether they are described in the “Deesis” or ” Metamorphism”. The cross figures all around this church show us the iconoclassic ideas. The animal figures across from the entrance are mostly for the breaking of the spells.
I sent emails asking for prices and options to create a private tour for our shore excursion. I was able to take a standard tour and customize it and it was less than half the price of the group tour shore excursion offered by our cruise. We met our private guide and driver as soon as we got off the ship. We first started with a drive out to the Virgin Mary’s House. Along the drive, we learned some interesting facts about the region and Turkey in general. Then, we reached Mary’s house and toured the site very interesting. Then it was off to Ephesus where we had a leisurely and informative tour through the amazing ruins. Make sure to get the added tour of the terrace houses. This is the most well preserved ancient ruins ever discovered.
Then it was off to St John’s Basilica and the Temple of Artimis to finish the tour. The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this private tour the price was very reasonable.
