The guide's explanations in very good English. The guide's help in contacting the Bosphorus cruise company. The large informative panels on the Muslim religion in English and the booklets in several languages.

My wife and I had a massage and couple's wash. Great staff, very good the 2 girls who followed us. Too bad we couldn't find disposable underwear.

The premiere spot to treat yourself in a one-of-a-kind manner befitting a king, prince or sultan! From being greeted outside the door to our sincere thank you's to our handlers and all the staff as we left, this was a forever memory. We were joking as to how we would have loved to capture the absolute grandour of the interior, but our camera phones would have never survived the amount of water in this place! Incredible sensory experience!
