SoloVerified bookingJun 20235/5Loved the guide who showed us Hagia Sofia, unfortunately I have forgotten her name but she was a huge Harry Potter lover, she was very lovely and told us many interesting things. The boattrip was also very good, Really liked that there was a bar/cafe where you could buy all sorts of snacks and drinks. If I was to complain about 1 thing it would be that the guiding on the boat could have been louder, since it was a bit windy it was very hard to hear her. Overall, very pleased with it all. Thanks a lot!DDonald N
