Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Since everyone seemed to consider the Hagia Sofia a must see, it was one of the first sites I visited when I got to Istanbul. It was impressive, with beautiful architecture – but the scaffolding made it a little harder to appreciate than I would have liked.
Grand bazaar was very beautiful, but inside they ask 3 times the amount of money they ask outside the bazaar. It's pretty to see, but it's all the same.
Turquia istanbul el tour privado jejeje todo de maravilla todo hermoso
Incredible tour. We were able to see so much in so little time. If you are visiting Istanbul you’ll not regret.

Hagia Sophia is really crowded place but what to say!it is very normal!it is so beautiful museum! Older than 1500 years!And still standing like in first day!it is nice mix of islamic and Christians! It is complitly worth it to see it! You will see allways many people standing on line! But it worth it to wait that long!
Hagia Sophia is a very unique museum that foreign tourists have a common interests too as much as Turkish tourist.The enterance is very crowded during summer time dependent on the number of tourists.It is possible to have a struggle on the raw if the time is around 17.00 oclock and end of tourism season which is July-August,there is a very nice…
参加私人伊斯坦堡一日游的最大好处是，除了有专业的中文导游一路讲解和介绍，我们的导游大海先生还带领我们洗了土耳其浴及吃了刀削烤羊肉卷，让我们体验了当地人的日常生活。
The museum is under renovation and many of the parts of the museum are not well connected, but it has the most 5th century BC artifacts I have ever seen, and the Troy section with film is very educational. I also liked the section on the port excavation brought about by the subweay construction.
Skip your guidebook and contact this guide for a fabulous travel experience in Istanbul. We were in Istanbul as a stop on a cruise so were there for just a day. Taylan was our tour guide and she was excellent. Not only was he a great guide, but he was also really pleasant and engaging. I would highly recommend this company, and Taylan specifically.
