Our tour guide Sinan gave us a great comprehensive tour of the major sights of Istanbul. He was friendly, and even willing to do some additional research for us on a potential Ephesus tour. I’d highly recommend him.
匆匆一日游无法看完整个伊斯坦堡。下次再来土耳其时，一定要参加两或三日游，才过瘾。
Hagia Sophia brings together a lot of history and really exemplifies the brilliance and openness of Ataturk – he turned a building that was first a historic Christian Basilica, and then a Mosque for hundreds of years, into a Museum, celebrating both traditions.
Since everyone seemed to consider the Hagia Sofia a must see, it was one of the first sites I visited when I got to Istanbul. It was impressive, with beautiful architecture – but the scaffolding made it a little harder to appreciate than I would have liked.
黄金大市集，Topkapi 皇宫及博物馆，蓝色清真寺，Hagia Sophia 的马赛克装饰，令人叹为观止！如果各位时间充裕，一定要洗个土耳其浴，绝对让您洗完了觉得脱胎换骨似的。
I enjoyed visiting the Hagia Sophia but there was not as much information as i would have liked once inside.
Hippodrome is an old square where there are a few old relics positions. Earlier it used to be a horse racing site but now no traces of it are to be seen,. There are old obelisks which have brought from Egypt and old buildings of Vazir still maintaining its old architecture but out of bound for tourists.
I arranged a tour before going on a Mediterrian cruise. We did an amazing tour of Istanbul and incredibly knowledgeable guide. Thank you for a memorable and informative day!
We went to the Grand Bazaar and bought table cloths, mosaic lamps and carpet I thought it was reasonable price after we negotiate for a discount.
Grand bazaar it is the largest covered market of the world.It was built by otoman rulers. It has about 5000 shops. All type of products, especially hand made otoman style jewelry and antique style handicrafts are available. Good shopping skill is required for shopping in this bazar.Bargaining is a routine. You should start 50 % of the asking price !
