Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
We had a great full day tour of Istanbul. The tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
Very interesting archaelogical finds. My particular favourite were footprints dating back 8000 years! Would have preferred if there was more clear information about Instanbul's obviously rich history.
Hagia Social is a former Orthodox Church, converted to a mosque & later converted to a museum that explores both faiths and their effects on Turkey, and the Roman & Ottoman Empires.
Viajamos muchas horas para esto y la verdad quedamos fascinados con istanbul y el tour privado
This is definitely a MUST in Istanbul.
We've been to the great museums of the world and this one ranks right up there.
What is not to like about this? Just accept the museum is huge, you can only see a few things so be realistic and enjoy what you can see. There is so much there – really too much to any one to take in on a single visit.
我们全家到了伊斯坦堡，因为时间有限，决定参加私人的一日游。我们的中文导游大海先生的介绍，生动又风趣，让我们一家人沉浸才伊斯坦堡的华丽丰富的历史中。
Regards to Yesim and many thanks for a super day.
