Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
The Blue Mosque really blew us away!! The colorful painted walls and ceiling will take your breath away.
As part of our trip to Turkey, we spent one day in the historic peninsula of Istanbul, where Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palaca and some other historic monuments stand. Our guide Gokhan gave us incredible sense of the history of the city and the amazing structures we visited. He was quick and satisfactory with his answers to our many questions and he really enjoyed what he was doing. It was like spending a day in Istanbul with a friend, who really knows about it.

Very attractive place….many restaurants are there….the blue mosque snd ayasofia church, a very busy distinct. ?.also a lot of small motels are there…lovely area
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!
Taylan is an excellent guide. He is so knowledgeable and really is able to bring all the history of Istanbul to life. He keeps his groups very small. There were just 6 of us. It made for a much mor enjoyable experience having such a small group. Highly, highly recommended.
Hagia Social is a former Orthodox Church, converted to a mosque & later converted to a museum that explores both faiths and their effects on Turkey, and the Roman & Ottoman Empires.
A must visit Hagia Sophia church built 1500 hundred years ago. Hard to think how they could pull it off at 500 ac
Thank you to Taylan, who arranged a great tour of Topkapi Palace for two! Knowledgable, friendly, charming and not afraid to leave regular talking points behind and engage in great conversation while seeing the sites. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic day.. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great tour of this great city!
