Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Hagia Sophi, Blue Mosque, Topkapi, Basilica all in the same vicinity and it is cool to see up to 1000 year or more history in walking distances. IT IS AMAZINGLY beautiful.
The Grand Bazaar was one of the reasons we went to Istanbul although for rather an unusual reason – my two boys were fascinated by the fact that both Sky Fall and Taken 2 were filmed either motorbiking or running over the roof and the fact that their Assassin's Creed game was partly set in the Bazaar!
Hagia Sophia is stunning and awesome. A must see for any visit to Istanbul. Chock full of history from Byzantine to Ottoman. I would imagine at its historical peak the interior and the domes were covered with mosaics as sumptuous as those in the Chora church (also a must visit!!), but most have been destroyed over time or covered up.
Como explicar lo maravilloso de la gran ciudad de istanbul para y muchos mas es la ciudad mas mistica y gracias al tour privado consegui conocerlo M A R A V I L L O S O O O 🙂
Grand bazaar was very beautiful, but inside they ask 3 times the amount of money they ask outside the bazaar. It's pretty to see, but it's all the same.
I love this place, especially at night. the view is amazing. the garden is gorgeous and large.. I can't imagine a day passes by when I'm in Istanbul without visiting Sultan Ahmet..
Hagia Sophia is really crowded place but what to say!it is very normal!it is so beautiful museum! Older than 1500 years!And still standing like in first day!it is nice mix of islamic and Christians! It is complitly worth it to see it! You will see allways many people standing on line! But it worth it to wait that long!
Cojimos un tour privado en istanbul y vimos muchisimo pero la verdad creo que twngo que repetirlo
We were only in Istanbul for one day, but thanks to the excellent work of our tour guide Gokhan our party of eight was able to get a real taste of the city. Can’t wait to go back and spend more time in this fascinating place.
Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) church was built by emperor Justinian as the grandest cathedral in Christendom and finished in 537. Its dome is architecturally famous in not being imitated for about 1000 years. It was built by Anthemios of Tralles (now Aydin) and Isidoros of Miletos (now Milet).
