    The tour was informative and easy. We have a knowledgeable tour guide who meticulously explained every details of the area, its history and background. Nice van with perfect heating device that balances the winter cold of the day. The only downside of the tour was the food at lunch time, the soup served were a bit mushy while the rice was a little bit uncooked. The testi kebab served was alright but could have been better.

    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.

    Check points, free small audio guides. But the walky-talkie was bad, we heard a lot of extra noise on the background. In information pdf the information about shoeless entry to buildings is missing. Otherwise all was really great. We enjoyed the tour and it was nice to see that part of city. Tour guide was nice.

    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.
