Süleymaniye Mosque (Süleymaniye Camii) Tours and Tickets - page 6

Emrullah was a wonderful guide, very informative and pleasant experience. The mosques were very beautiful and guide is knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed the experience but as tourists despite having paid to get into the Hagia Sophia Mosque (Ground Floor) it was only for the museum. This is not clear on tour instructions which are misleading. Our guide (Faruk Bodur) was excellent. He was friendly, very accommodating and knowledgeable. We have rated this as a 5 star experience because of the quality of our guide. Thank you Faruk.

Great tour, our guide Muhammed was very friendly, polite and funny, he made the tour engaging and it was great to learn about all the little things you would miss without a tour guide. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Our guide Ebru was great. We had a serious medical incident near the end and she went well beyond her role. Great patience with the group and knew her stuff A shame you can’t go into the floor if Haiga Sophia but the time we spent in the rest of it made up for that

Amazing tour guide Emrulla was great, informative and genuinely enthusiastic. It was a real pleasure.

Our guide Selin was excellent. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and adaptable to our requests. This was the only option I found to get a tour of the Suleymanyie Mosque and it was a great decision because it was the most beautiful of all the ones we visited. She also helped us figure some train traveling we had planned. I recommend this tour.

Highly recommend this tour! This is the only tour I found that also included the Suleimaniye Mosque, which is a must-see, in my opinion (just as beautiful as the Blue Mosque, but much less crowded and spectacular views of the city from the hilltop). Emrullah was a fantastic guide who knew the history of each mosque. He gave us interesting insight into the architectural details as well, and pointed out things we would not have noticed on our own (such as Viking graffiti in the Hagia Sophia). He was also great about changing up the schedule when we had to make a slight unplanned detour and making sure we still saw everything we wanted to, as well as taking many pictures of my husband and I with these incredible sights. Overall, we are very happy we did this tour of these major sites as we feel like we got so much more out of our visits than if we had just strolled in on our own. A few tips to get the most out of this experience - wear modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered), bring your own headscarf (for the ladies), wear comfortable and supportive walking shoes you can easily slip on/off, wear sunscreen if you sunburn easily, and definitely buy the tickets for Hagia Sophia ahead of time as that ticket line is crazy. (If you don’t get that link through your confirmation email, reach out to TripGuru and the chatbot will send you the form to fill out so your guide can reserve your Hagia Sophia tickets ahead of time).
