Hay miles de formas de visitar istanbul yo escoji el tour privado y la verdad fue exelent3
Hagia Sophi, Blue Mosque, Topkapi, Basilica all in the same vicinity and it is cool to see up to 1000 year or more history in walking distances. IT IS AMAZINGLY beautiful.
Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) church was built by emperor Justinian as the grandest cathedral in Christendom and finished in 537. Its dome is architecturally famous in not being imitated for about 1000 years. It was built by Anthemios of Tralles (now Aydin) and Isidoros of Miletos (now Milet).
If you have the chance to visit Istanbul and get to know the best out of it, you should know Gokhan, our fantastic guide. I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with his organized, efficient, smooth running, and cost efficient program. Our trip to istanbul was really so wonderful and so memorable.
I would like to thank him for the excellent job he did while guiding our tour through Turkey. Very professional and also very patient. His great sense of humour made our tour very ,very enjoyable.
I now have a greater understanding of this nice country and would definetely love to come back again
Que hermosa ciudad me gustaria poder escribirles todo lo que vi pero la verdad crek quw no me alcanzaran las palabras lo unico que les digo es que contraten un tour privadp veran que les guata muchisimo
You may think it's too crowded and it's such a long walk to go through the whole BAZAAR! true but it is a must visit attraction in Istanbul, very interesting, you see locals all around selling all kinds of clothing, souvenirs, fake brands, a huge selection of everything…
After having gone through the nightmare of shopping in Egypt a few years ago, my husband and I were a bit nervous about going to the Grand Bazaar. So glad we did! It is lively but not chaotic, and the shop keepers have good humor and are not pushy at all.
If you're a true history buff, avoid the crowds and head here instead of the Topkapi Palace.
Roman and Hittite collections are excellent. Collection of Byzantine Istanbul consist of some shards and fragments but very disappointing. Tile museum was very good.
It is very magical place.. Everyone who visits istanbul must visit there and feel the history … Amazing
