Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We had a terrific day our tour was flawlessly performed from start to finish.
Topkapi Palace is beautiful. But the best thing about it,at least for me,was the view over The Bosphorus. It's gorgeous!
We went to the Grand Bazaar and bought table cloths, mosaic lamps and carpet I thought it was reasonable price after we negotiate for a discount.
After having gone through the nightmare of shopping in Egypt a few years ago, my husband and I were a bit nervous about going to the Grand Bazaar. So glad we did! It is lively but not chaotic, and the shop keepers have good humor and are not pushy at all.
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..
Hagia Sophia is built in the sixth century and a christian church until the 1400's. It later became a mosque and is now a national museum. The dome and the wonderful interior will knock your socks off. Do not miss the view from the second floor. There are winding stairs that allow you to view the dome from a great vantage point.
En istanbul esta topkapi es un palacio matavilloso gracias al private tour conocimos el lugar muy buena la atencion
Hagia Sophia it's absolutely mind blowing. Marvelous. Personally, the best attraction we visited in Istanbul.
Basilica Cistern is..awesome place to visit. Everyone should go visit this while in Istanbul. You need to read the new Dan Brown book Inferno before you go. It will make it much more interesting.
After read about Hagia Sophia in art history lessons it was still more impressive in real life.
