I can now justify that this was a good tour I booked beforehand. I am a new user to get your guide and very skeptic of online tour and booking. However I decided to go for it. The booking procedure was very simple and easy. On the day of the tour we arrived ahead of time and got a little confused with finding the meeting. however the confusion was only caused since we asked helped from other people/ vendors on the street. The mentioned street address is not be to followed but rather what the operator has written about the meeting point. Furkan was our guide. He was a very eligible guide, with patience and knowledge. He took us through every small nook and corner of the museum which I am for sure I would have missed out if I was visiting by myself. He was more than friendly to give us extra tips and advices for touring around in Istanbul. This tour gave us so much more insight into the historical Haga Sophia. Very very satisfied and highly recommended.

We had a lovely tour with the very enthousiastic guide Augusto. He told is everything about the history of the Hagia Sophia and we were able to ask questions if we wanted to. He told us very interesting facts about the inside of the biggest mosquee/church of Istanbul. We would highly recommend a tour with Augusto! Reminder: you dont bit a ticket to skip the line, you need to queue because of the security safety check. Ladies: bring a scarf, hat or jacket with hat to cover your hair, its respectful to bring your own.

MUHAMMAD MEZANUR – BangladeshJuly 30, 2019 – Verified booking
Once again an in depth insight into the fabulous history of the various periods captured within Hagia Sophia. The tour guide gave clear and concise details of each and every aspect of the site. Full of information and small details that wouldn’t be available on google etc. He was polite and patient and open to question which he knowledgeably answered well, brilliant. Definitely a highly recommended guide via GetYourGuide at a very reasonable price. Please not the guide has the ability to jump to the front of the endlessly long queue. So no waiting around in the blazing sun, or in our case today a sudden burst of downpour. Don’t miss this experience whilst in Istanbul with GetYourGuide!!!! Thanks a lot!
