Todo de maravilla istanbul es um lugar magico y vale la pena visitarla
Me gusto el bosforo y la noche turca en istanbul el tour privado fue muy bueno
You cannot visit Hagia Sophia just once….We visited this Historic and Holy Place while on a privatetour from a Cruise Ship…To be in a massive structure built aprox in the 7th century in Constantinople is overwhelming in a good way…..We will be back and do our own tour of this and the other sites in Ancient Constantinople ( Istanbul)…
I highly recommend her for anybody planning to have a sightseeing tour in Istanbul. The city is amazing, but having someone take you around and put the history and architecture into context made it even more so. We were extremely pleased with our guide Taylan. I would recommend this tour to anybody who is visiting Istanbul.
We Just Wanted To Let You Know We Had A Wonderful Time. Istanbul Was Amazing !
Having visited the Asklepion in Kos, the Mausoleum in Bodrum and Ephesus before arriving in Istanbul this museum tied the previous visits together and left me astounded by the content available. Absolute must see.
So many things to see and so much variety. I am not normally interested in this type of museum, but went with one of the travelers in the group and having now gone, I would definitely go back.
We Highly recommend Taylan and his private tour company to everyone who want to discover Istanbul with a friend.
I have never had a better tour guide than Selcuk Senkan. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable.
This was one of my favorite mosque visits while in Istanbul. It was huge and beautiful, with so many little details throughout. I ended up spending about an hour and a half going through. I would also recommend going up to the second floor, there is more to see there and some great views of the whole mosque.
