Great guide, amazing to see these wonders in real life - unfortunately, the Topkapi was closed on the day of the tour, which would have been good to know before booking the package.

Topkapi was Interesting and a great experience. The Guide was motivated and explains the story much intressting. Hagia was a dark building (maybe of course the Renovation outside) a stressful time. The security inside was maximal stressed and unfriendly. Our guide was not motivate he spoke very boring an in the same volume.... Topkapi-Palast was top Hagia was so lala. For all was the price to high!!!
