Un paseo por el bosforo y lindo tour privado por la mezquita azul de sultan ahmet y santa sofia fueron lo mas hermoso de istanbul
Hagia Sophia is a truly amazing place to visit. The fact that the structures have been preserved for such a long time is breath taking!!.
The annoying part is when people hassle you to buy books just before you enter the area.
You Should Definitely Visit Hagia Sophia !
Regards to Yesim and many thanks for a super day.
When you walk into the Hipperdrome, you can not vison as to what it looked like in the past. After doing some research, we found more information at the Istanbul Archaelogy Museum. It was in the past a place of great moments, just imagine horse racing here. It is also a great place to come.
On previous trips to Istanbul we have walked pass the entrance to the Archaeological Museum simply because we thought there were more exciting ‘attractions’ to visit than an archaeological museum as a result this museum never made it onto our ‘must visit’ list, how wrong we were.
The tour guide picked us up at our hotel, surprisingly on time. We went through all the most important sites in the Old City including Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace + Harem. He was well informed and you could tell that he genuinely enjoys his job. I would recommend to everyone! They are timely, flexible, and very accommodating.
The best of all the tours we did. The AC van, guide, driver, and lunch excellent.
Viajamos muchas horas para esto y la verdad quedamos fascinados con istanbul y el tour privado
Hagia Sophia a must see historic land mark from the Byzantine era, and old Constantinople. The church is the former Greek Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later an imperial mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its construction in 537 until 1453, it served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
