Un paseo por el bosforo y lindo tour privado por la mezquita azul de sultan ahmet y santa sofia fueron lo mas hermoso de istanbul
Hahia Sophia building is magnificent !
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!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day and have no hesitation recommending anyone visiting this incredible city. Thanks
Topkapi Palace it’s huge! One could spend a whole day in here. It’s so hard to imagine how anyone could be so wealthy. It’s just amazing, like a little city. The jewels are stupendous & everything is so richly decorated. The power, & wealth, of the Ottoman Empire was beyond words. It’s amazing….
The Ottoman empire was something to behold and if you are looking for the history there's no better than here. A great Topkapi Palace to visit but make time for it as there's a lot to see and take in. A must see.
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable.
Wonderful! Congratulations! But to refer to a monument maybe the title should talk by itself about its heritage. Hagia Sophia (meaning in Greek “God’s Wisdom”) was built as a Christian Orthodox Cathedral and was transferred to a mosque centuries later.It is oxymoron (contradictory) to have a Greek-Byzantine name to Mosque. Correct Historic and Academic name: “Hagia Sophia Orthodox patriarchal basilica.” Congratulations again for the site!
The Blue Mosque really blew us away!! The colorful painted walls and ceiling will take your breath away.
Grand bazaar it is the largest covered market of the world.It was built by otoman rulers. It has about 5000 shops. All type of products, especially hand made otoman style jewelry and antique style handicrafts are available. Good shopping skill is required for shopping in this bazar.Bargaining is a routine. You should start 50 % of the asking price !
