Discover the best things to do in Istanbul

It was a wonderful experience. I was willingly guided from taksim to the aquarium in Florya by a shuttle bus. Afterwards, I was amazed by the discovery of the large Aquarium, with a magnificent ocean world, with lots of small fish of different species, crabs, sharks, pinguins, jellyfish etc.. And just outside the aquarium, there was a huge shopping area, with lots of top brand stores. Finally, I was able to sample an Iskender, a typical Turkish dish with yoghurt and beef.

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!

What a beautiful day at the Dolmabahce Palace. It was amazing to see such a historical dwelling with extraordinary grounds. The chandeliers were breathtaking. We enjoyed our day even though it rained a bit. Such an interesting place ot discover.

This was so amazing . I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Istanbul. The food and atmosphere was absolutely amazing!

Great tour with Alex , inspire of large group. Took his time to show and explain special places. Fabulous amount of history and great places.

We were extremely limited on time in Istanbul, but were determined to see Hagia Sophia. We had a flight to catch at 1:40 at IST.... we took the street train to Hagia Sophia, and had our tickets ready to go at 9am. The skip the line was worth every penny (I'm not even sure how much extra if any it was). We were able to walk right in, no wait. Come prepared and dressed appropriately- women in modest clothing (no tank tops, and you need a scarf) and men must wear pants. I got a kick out of my scarf actually matching the ceiling plaster patterns. The full walk through was very informative and the audio tour corresponded with the stops also numbered in the mosque. All in all, it took about an hour and I don't feel it was rushed or we were shortchanged on seeing anything in it. I do wish we had more time to see the museum close by though!

Unforgettable experience! Everything was perfectly organized, from the friendly and helpful staff to the safe and smooth flight. Flying over the landscapes at sunrise was magical: unique colors and breathtaking views. The soft landing and the little toast at the end made it even more special. Absolutely recommended!

Great tours both the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Mark our guide was very knowledgeable amd engaging. Would highly recommend Thai combination for a great experience.
