Tanju was an amazing guide, he took us at a quiet time that allowed us to really take in the Hagia Sophia , and was full of knowledge that he was keen to share am with us about the history of turkey, Istanbul and how it all relates to the building. It made for an extremely interesting tour!

I was lucky enough to be the only visitor on this tour with Abdullah as my guide. Abdullah made everything very interesting and answered all my questions fully. The Hagia Sophia is under renovation at the moment and I feel a bit over priced, when you could queue and enter for free if praying. Maybe other tourists knew this! It doesnt detract from how excellent Abdullah is and how much i enjoyed the excursion

Great to see the Mosque. It is so busy you can barely move so once in it is static. The guide was great and funny but with so many people around you have to focus to hear everything. The audio system was good. The queue to get in, with tickets, is about 30 minutes so be prepared to wait.

Accueil et Guide à l'heure. Très agréable. Disponible. Les 2 sites sont vraiment à voir autant en intérieur qu'en extérieur surtout les jardins de la Mosquée bleue. Beaucoup de monde dès le matin.

Ha sido muy sencillo llegar al punto de encuentro. Nuestro guía ha sido muy divertido y cordial. Su nombre occidentalizado era Arthur :) Ha sido una experiencia totalmente recomendable para visitar los monumentos emblemáticos del lugay y aprender sobre la cultura y la historia de este increíble país.

First, the site was really not interesting or pretty to see, specially when you take into account the price. The guide was late and had to leave early, his english was not best and we weren't all able to hear him speak
