Se ofrecio guia en español y no fu exclusivo, se debio compartir con grupo en ingles. El tout ofrecido indicaba "gran bazaar". No se le vio ni la nariz. El guia dijo que el tour solo contemplaba decir : "ahi esta el gran bazar y tiene xx puertas" Al guia le interesaba llevarnos a un lujosisimo local de venta de alfombras.... Dentro de HagiaSofia faltó mostrar otras marcas cristianas....mostró muy pocas.

Man hat uns mit Touristen aus Italien in eine Gruppe zusammengetan, die Deutschkentnisse des Reiseleiters waren katostrophal, er war stendig in Eile, weil er alles doppelt erzählen musste.Schade um das Geld, das wir für den Ausflug bezahlt haben. Absolut nicht empfehlungswert.
