Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Grand Bazaar is touristy, and crowded, and you are likely to be verbally assaulted by shop keepers trying to sell you something. So what? This is a magnificent place like nothing else in the world. appreciate it for the architecture, for the history, for the kitsch.
Hagia Sophia tt doesn't look much from outside,but it's a gorgeous building on the inside. You can feel the history and see and learn a lot about those times – the war between Islam and Christianity. It's a must see for those,interested in history and architecture .
Istanbul lo mejor de turquia es una mistica yagica ciudad el tour privado te fasilita todo para conocerla
We loved the Hagia Sophia. It was great to see on the inside and outside. We took lots of photos.
I will start my review from underlining that Hagia Sophia is not very impressive from outside but when you go inside you understand that it's reason nr. 1 why you should stop in Istanbul. It's very symbolic place which witnessed 2 Empires and has elements of both Christian and Muslim religions.
I recently visited Istanbul with mt fiance for our honeymoon. Thank you so much for making our trip such a wonderful experience!
Visting the Topkapi Palace you get to see beautiful structures, nature and views. The views overlooking the water are not to be missed and is a welcome area after the crowds in the main viewing area.
Great guides. Great information! Don’t take the cruise line tours they are so expensive!
The Grand Bazzar in Istanbul was ultra crowded, full of jewelry, tee shirt, cheap hat, spice, cheap bracelet shops and VERY, VERY PUSHY shopkeepers. This is no place for anyone with walking difficulties – or in fact for anyone.
Basilica Cistern… Must see place. So cool.. In both meanings… Great ambiance.. Heart of history…Nice breeze.. Would be great in summer..
