Excelente experiencia en este recorrido por el palacio. Nuestro guía le dio el toque especial, Haralk (creo que se escribe así) es un experimentado guía que conoce el luar, la cultura y la historia de una forma que hace que haya vaido la pena este tour. Explicaciones claras y completas y siempre haciendose cargo de todas las dudas.

The guide was interesting, but bake sure to take an audio-guide before entering the palace because you will not have paper tickets to go out and back in. If you have internet in Turkey, the guide can give you a code to download an app. Fortunately the guards were kind to let us out and back in without ticket so that we could get audioguides, but that was not possible for the harem, which we visited without guide or audioguide. (The written inscriptions are not very interesting) Also, the visit takes nearly the whole day, take a picnic ;)

The guide Muhammed Salih was fantastic. His knowledge and delivery impeccable. The site was beautiful and the exhibitions were stunning. Without a doubt the best part of our trip so far 😊👌
