Todo de maravilla istanbul es um lugar magico y vale la pena visitarla
Que maravillla istanbul la mezquita de sultan ahmet fue lo mas lindo el tour privado fue unico
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….
La mezquita de sultan ahmet creo que es jn simbolo de turquia y el mundo tuve la posibilidad de conocerla atraes de un tour privado y si que valio la pena.
Lo mas lindo de istanbul fue las mezquita azul no me recuerdo muy bien cuando fue construida pero valio la pena centavo por centavo todo lo que pagamos al tour privado
Topkapi Palace a strikingly beautiful palace that resonates with history. The internal decorations of painted tiles defies explanation, and you can only marvel at how the Sultan lived.
We had only one day to see Istanbul. It was a port of call during our cruise. We booked the small group tour and Taylan was our guide. He was excellent. We wanted to see all the highlights of Istanbul, but also wanted plenty of time to explore the Grand Bazaar. Taylan was knowledgeable, polite and interesting to talk to. He was on time, waiting for us when we got off the ship. At lunchtime, we gave him free rein as to what to order for us. He ordered his favorites and we were able to try a variety of local dishes.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS
