Visiting the Basilica Cistern was the highlight of my trip to Istanbul. Walking among the 300+ ancient columns with the soft, shifting lights reflecting off the water is incredibly atmospheric. The Medusa heads at the back are a must-see, and the 2022 renovations have made the walkways much easier to navigate. Top Tip: Definitely book your tickets online in advance. The line for on-site tickets was massive

Buying tickets was very easy. However, there was no audio guide in Portuguese. But inside the Basilica, there are QR codes with audio guides in Brazilian Portuguese.

I loved everything, starting with the fact that they were super punctual at departure time, the yacht was very comfortable, and the snacks were delicious, not to mention the tea and Turkish coffee, which were delicious. 100% recommended.

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.

Wonderful experience! It allows you to immerse yourself in the culture and savor the mysticism that permeates Sufism. I recommend that you experience it!

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.
