I really do like this museum. I really do. It may be because I haven't went to such a grandeur museum but yeah, I do really really like 'em. It immediately pique my interest to visit The Louvre. The main highlight is of course the Alexander Sarcophagus. You can't miss it, it is very near to the entrance.
This tour is well worth the money.. especially if you only have a short amount of time in Istanbul.
I arranged a tour before going on a Mediterrian cruise. We did an amazing tour of Istanbul and incredibly knowledgeable guide. Thank you for a memorable and informative day!
We had only one day to see Istanbul. It was a port of call during our cruise. We booked the small group tour and Taylan was our guide. He was excellent. We wanted to see all the highlights of Istanbul, but also wanted plenty of time to explore the Grand Bazaar. Taylan was knowledgeable, polite and interesting to talk to. He was on time, waiting for us when we got off the ship. At lunchtime, we gave him free rein as to what to order for us. He ordered his favorites and we were able to try a variety of local dishes.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS
Hagia Sophia was our first visit. You get to use a different line with the pass. You avoid the crowd and it's much faster to get in. Also, note that entrance fees are waived for children below 12 years of age.
We all had a great time, plenty to see and do. What a wonderful day, thank you so much.
Una noche turca en istanbul es ideal para completar el tour privado fue todo jermoso gracias
All of the artifacts, statues and whatnot that are in top condition are here and not at the outdoor sites that you will visit in Turkey. If you wish to get a better sense of what was found on the archeological digs, then a visit to this museum.
What is more classic to Turkey than Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque? The huge hanging medallions are a sight unto themselves. There's a quiet and a peace here that only hallowed places have. I fall in love with Turkey again every time I walk into this place – six different trips at this point!
Istanbul lo mejor de turquia es una mistica yagica ciudad el tour privado te fasilita todo para conocerla
