Estudio historia y creo que istanbul es un lugar muy adecuado para esto los de la agencia me ayudaron muchisimo
Turquia es igual a istanbul una maravilla gracias tour privado por fasilitar nuestra visita
Hagia Sophia a must see in Istanbul. The (lack of) stairs to the second floor was amazing. We had our own guide and that is the way to see something so impressive. We got an history lesson that made us appreciate the subsequent museums we saw on our own.
Hagia Sophia is a must see when you visit Istanbul. It is worthwhile getting one of the guides, who will whisk you past all the crowds waiting to get in and will provide you with a mine of information. Make sure he is approved by the government.

Visiting istanbul without visiting the Hagia Sophia is a big loss ! Its a very nice place n well done thy have managed to keep it as it is n thy r taking good care of it…
Hagia Sophia, built in the 6th century AD by Justinian, is a true marvel. Justinian was a Roman Emperor (Eastern), and commissioned a church to be built. What a church! It is the largest free supporting dome known, and has survived many earthquakes. The inside is quite beautiful, and some of the Byzantine mosaics are truly stunning.
We visited Istanbul during a Princess Med cruise. Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about his country with a great sense of humour, that it made our tour outstanding. Would love to have him again! Thank you so much for making our tour such a wonderful experience!
The tour was a fantastic experience our group made up of cruises from cruse critic all expressed there thanks to our guide who was so knowledgeable on Istanbul.
I highly recommend that if you are going to travel to Istanbul that you contact Taylan from privatetour.net to make arrangements.
