We had a very good time on this tour, it was a vero good idea to enter Hagia Sophia early since there were long lines after 11am.
Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Asif

We loved this tour. There is a lot that they pack into a short amount of time, and for those who really want to spend a couple of hours at Hagia Sophia or the Blue mosque, this is not your tour. However, we got to hit every important site, and our guide Attila was excellent--very well informed, explained the history and architecture in an engaging manner, and gave us plenty of free time at each site to explore on our own and take plenty of pictures. We never felt rushed even though we moved at an efficient pace. Lunch was good--you pay for your own drinks, even water, which is common to all tours in Turkey I think--and we really felt as if we had covered everything important by the end of the day.

Highly recommend this tour!
