En istanbul lo mejor que se puede hacer es un tour privado ya que es una ciudad muy grande y un poco desordenada por eso lo recomiendo y hay que ver eata ciudad
Istanbulll es una locura donde vayas hay historia y una cultura de miedos
Basilica Cistern is the magical place that indeed all of the other reviewers have described. It’s a must-see and is a good alternative when the nearby Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are too crowded.
But I bet most visitors are disappointed in their pictures of it when they get home. Reason? They took flash pictures. If you really want to capture the beautiful dimly illuminated cistern, you need to hold your camera very still (tripod, or balanced securely on railing) and use a setting without flash. Read your camera instructions if you don’t know how to do this. Trust me. You won’t regret it.
We have been to IST a few times previously, but this was our first visit to the Basilica Cistern. The space was great to visit and a nice addition to the mosques and bazaars.
Hagia Sophia is a very unique museum that foreign tourists have a common interests too as much as Turkish tourist.The enterance is very crowded during summer time dependent on the number of tourists.It is possible to have a struggle on the raw if the time is around 17.00 oclock and end of tourism season which is July-August,there is a very nice…
I have never had a better tour guide than Selcuk Senkan. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable.
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.

参加私人伊斯坦堡一日游的最大好处是，除了有专业的中文导游一路讲解和介绍，我们的导游大海先生还带领我们洗了土耳其浴及吃了刀削烤羊肉卷，让我们体验了当地人的日常生活。
A grand bazaar where you would find everything under one roof. Its a good walk around and. Ery crowded all the time. I was surprised to see different brand replics here and lot of gold shops around. They have a whole section for antiques im sure most of them must be replics. But worth a visit.
