Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
I went with my family to istanbul for a week and the whole week was very enjoyable to all of us.. It was a memorable tour..we were guided very correctly about every place….every tour was on its time and all the arrangements were very impressive…we are thank full for every thing..
Hagia Sophia is a wonder of human construction. It's history extends through many cultures, it's a must in Istanbul.
In Istanbul, we were picked up right at the cruise ship at the appointed time and boarded a large van for just the four of us. You can book the tour on-line ahead of time, and you can pick and choose the sights you want to see. Overall, more reasonable than the ship tours, and a lot more flexibility, this tour company is great.
Es una locura todo lo que se puede hacer en istanbul creo que tendre que volver pero lo hare con este tour privado sin duda alguna
Hagia Sophia is truly superb and well worth visiting. Unfortunately for us, our visit coincided with major renovation works inside with scaffolding obscuring a large area. The mosaics are amazing!
The Hagia Sophia was one of the best places I visited in Istanbul, with far more charm and history than the Blue Mosque.
Que hermosa ciudad me gustaria poder escribirles todo lo que vi pero la verdad crek quw no me alcanzaran las palabras lo unico que les digo es que contraten un tour privadp veran que les guata muchisimo
I loved the Grand Bazaar! It is so great for strolling, looking and being amazed. BUT there are better prices elsewhere if you are willing to hunt. Still it is worth the trip to be amazed.
We so appreciate Taylan’s arranging a guide for us at the last minute. We got a wonderful review of his services from a neighbor just as we were leaving for Istanbul. He was able to reach out to a guide he trusted and arrange for two days in Istanbul visiting the most important sites.
My then wife and I visited Istanbul many years ago but the visit to the Grand Bazaar was an experience that even now I can recall with great clarity.Approximately 4000 stalls under cover selling just about everything imaginable and some unmentionable.Leather goods in particular are a good buy if you are prepared to haggle.
