    This experience was simply amazing. The Whirling Dervishes is super interesting and very useful to learn about Sufi Islam. Also the Turkish food experience was really good and complete. Our guide Zeynep was top notch! She was friendly, clear, fun and very willing to help with any questions about Istanbul. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
