    The tour was informative and easy. We have a knowledgeable tour guide who meticulously explained every details of the area, its history and background. Nice van with perfect heating device that balances the winter cold of the day. The only downside of the tour was the food at lunch time, the soup served were a bit mushy while the rice was a little bit uncooked. The testi kebab served was alright but could have been better.

    It is an amazing ceremony to see. A QR code provides access to explanations in different languages, but the oral presentation is in English. Located in old Istanbul, right next to Hagia Sophia.

    Check points, free small audio guides. But the walky-talkie was bad, we heard a lot of extra noise on the background. In information pdf the information about shoeless entry to buildings is missing. Otherwise all was really great. We enjoyed the tour and it was nice to see that part of city. Tour guide was nice.

    The tour moved smoothly due to small crowds. The explanations were clear, the mosque beautiful. The guide was knowledgeable, and explained some of the Arabic symbols that would have been hard to understand.

    Getting the ticket was very easy from the web site. This allowed easy access without to much queuing. Took about 5 minutes from getting through the entrance to being inside the Hagia Sophia. Inside was everything I had expected with the sense of history hitting you as you first walk onto the balcony looking down on the main mosque floor bellow. This must have been a wonderful site all those centuries ago, and still is. I thoughrouly enjoyed my experience and would recommend to anyone interested in history.
