Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We had a private tour to Istanbul. It was a great trip with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The private car was very clean and the driver was nice. Highly recommended.
This tour is well worth the money.. especially if you only have a short amount of time in Istanbul.
We were lucky and to get a private half day tour “Istanbul Byzantine” and were grateful for our very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He picked us up from the hotel and we were driven directly to the Blue mosque to enter without queuing. We learn a lot about the culture of a different religion and to understand and respect it. I wouldn’t recommended it any other way. Our guide also pointed out some trustworthy vendors at the great Bazaar and even drove us to the ferry pier. Fantastic service and well worth the money. Very recommendable!
En istanbul lo mejor que se puede hacer es un tour privado ya que es una ciudad muy grande y un poco desordenada por eso lo recomiendo y hay que ver eata ciudad
Hagia Sophia an incredibly impressive architectural wonder. It feels like it will topple over at any minute, making it even more fun! I highly recommend bringing a detailed written guide with you and studying the guide before you go.
Anted de aterrizar a istanbul se puwdw ver la inmensidad de la ciudad magico se ve cuando contratas el tour privado
The Hippodrome is a quick diversion from everything you are doing. Stop by this park and have a quick rest on the park bench.
Hagia Sophia is must see place. One of the best historical places I've ever seen. Holly ambiance in a beautiful environment and a great architecture.
And to tell You about the last, and one of the most considerable monument and masterpiece of hands and minds of Turkish architects,engineers and workers, that is the famous Sultan Ahmet Camii or Sultan Ahmet Mosque,also among the turists and everyday people known as Blue Mosque.
Hagia Sophia an amazing place. It is the size that impressed me the most. An hour was sufficient. We arrived at about 10am, mid-November so no queue for tickets. Later as we were leaving the queue was very long.
