Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Everyone visiting Istanbul needs to visit the Grand Bazaar. How long you actually stay there depends on whether you can stand the crowded indoor alleyways, and the very pushy shop owners It is almost, no, actually completely impossible, to browse in any of the shops.
If you walk through Sultanahmet, chances are you will be in/on the Hippodrome. Read about its history to have a better appreciation…
We contacted this company by email and received very prompt response from Burcu. My friend and I only had two days in instanbul and wanted to see the city without wasting time finding our way around. The company agreed to pick us up from the airport, give us a tour on the first day, take us to the hotel, pick..us up the next day for a private tour, and take us back to the airport. Our guide Taylan was extremely well informed and had a good feel for our interests and the pace at which we wanted to see things. He chose wonderful restaurants for dinner. He was a very interesting person and a pleasant companion for the two days in Istanbul. We learned a lot about Turkish history and culture from him. At the end of the tour, Taylan met us to ensure everything went as planned. He took a very personal interest in our having a great tour. I would highly recommend this company.
Hagia Sophia is what an incredible building. We were lucky enough to have a guide with us who was able to tell us about its history and the changes it has gone through in the journey from church to mosque. The renovation work is still uncovering christian works of art hidden in the muslim era.
This tour was less than the cruise tour. we had a fab..time. thx
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!
Todo de maravilla istanbul es um lugar magico y vale la pena visitarla
Hippodrome area has been redone and very well the pavement's have been replaced so that no falling on loose bricks can cause a facial meeting with pavement. There are great old historical places of religion just feet's away but few seats to think about how wonderful the world could be without GREED!
Hagia Sophia is a truly amazing place to visit. The fact that the structures have been preserved for such a long time is breath taking!!.
The annoying part is when people hassle you to buy books just before you enter the area.
I have been to the Hagia Sophia a couple of other times this year but was very disappointed this time! Half of the main floor is being renovated and there is no obvious notice of the work when you pay the admission. In addition, the price of admission is the same as it was when there was no renovations!
