    Why does anyone go to see a major attraction without skip the line tickets? We walked straight in, bypassing a long line waiting and enjoyed the cistern. It is a beautiful interior with a nice mood changing scene lighting as you walk above the water. Magical!

I literally rushed back home to write down as much as I could remember from this tour, because I didn't want to lose so many important and impressive details he mentioned!

    The Basilica Cistern is amazing to see in person. I had no idea such a vast cavern had been right beneath my feet. Our tour guide was wonderful. Her English was perfect and she really helped us to appreciate the history of the place.
